Bouldering Finals | Keqiao | Mens | IFSC World Cup

[@hansmeier3815]

OMG. Typical chaotic qualification camera work. Dear IFSC: that was a final and deserved one exclusive cam per boulder!

[@nilsp9426]

Stasa in the commentary booth is an instant like for me.

[@Noah-wr7od]

Bro same

[@andypughtube]

Absolutely. I always thought that she had an air of the geek about her (in a good way) but he confirmed it with her talk of normals and reaction forces.

[@askechadd2473]

I hate that they have multiple attempts on the stage at the same time. 2 is normally still bad, but 4 is insane.

[@seether17]

The quali/semi was even worse, 10 climbers on at the same time 😭

[@SkiingIsBelieving859]

it also seems weird because you can see the people going before you and use their beta. so if someone has some great beta right before you you have an advantage

Wish ifsc finds the budget to invest in better camera work. Some channels do great analysis of body positions of athletes, Which only can be achieved, when there are same angles of every athlete. You just need some static cameras. Sorry to say that, but current state is just a mess.

[@AidanXavier1]

It's not a budget issue it's a production management issue. It's cheaper to have 4 static cameras then to have 10 moving camera angles. The bigger issue is that they refuse to run split screen, which means you straight up can't see what's going on most of the time.

[@dezmilcoisas]

the camera switching on this transmission is completely bonkers.

[@SaphireTech]

The same is with the womens final compilation. They cut everything out except for the actual climbing.

[@verbunt18]

and ofcorse the netherlands had a geo block on the live and didnt stream it on any platform..

[@biomorphic]

Also when the hell is starting the final?

[@SaphireTech]

@@verbunt18 Yeah, really sucks coukld only watch the high lights.

[@dr-rer-nat-jonathan]

yes, it's unclear if it's bad camera work or if it's just the format being viewer-unfriendly

[@shacuras8201]

Toby is so good on the slow controlled movements on slabs. Insane how he can keep his cool in such a situation

[@wrathika]

Ifsc relying on local channels for camera work is always a farce but this go around the profucer really seemed to forget they have a camera on the 1st 2 problems....so frustrating to be permanently stuck in boulder 3 and 4

[@alexwhimself]

And we didn't get Tomoa's attempts on #2, that was annoying af

[@bellambini]

35:14 is a beautiful serendipitous moment - I didn't know which great toe they were talking about until a second watch!

[@Jacob0481]

I like how the leaderboard says semi-finals. Between the camera work and not even knowing if its finals or semis, the IFSC might take the cake as being the worst event organization in modern sports.

[@wrathika]

So you're watching a cut down clipped version of the broadcast obv. The full broadcast mentioned a million times that this is a final with 20 athletes on boulders set for the semis, because rain cancelled the men's qualis. Surely you've already read about this?

[@Jacob0481]

@@wrathika thank you for solidifying my point. Imagine canceling a world class level event because the IFSC couldnt find a building with a roof. Buncha goofs running it.

[@wrathika]

@@Jacob0481 you'll get no argument from me on that. I'm not sure why these indoor events need to be outside if there are no weather contingencies

[@zyxwl2015]

[@justinmcdowell5334]

Bob Saget!

[@shysstasnubben]

This event was a fucking disaster. The geoblocking aswell is just a slap in the face to international fans. Beyond the stressed format, which I know is because of weather, the boulders themselves seemed strange and unbalanced. Camerawork was some of the sloppiest I've seen. The music was just plain offensive.

[@dennismazzlack]

I love it when Stasa is commenting. Wish i could watch the whole thing somewhere

[@sgtwanderer]

Justice for Jakob - Matt had no faith that he made the beta break work on M4! Congrats to the podium

[@causewaykayak]

That Stasha does a super commentary / on the edge of irreverance sometimes - Spicy ! More often please if she has the opportunity.

[@sorenburghardt3535]

Bouldern No2 is the max verstappen of bouldering it's so hard to beat it doesn't get any air time

[@konsey1889]

lol

[@amocella]

When I look at the comments, most people seem to agree: The multiple attempts on the stage are extremely confusing for viewers and, in particular, do absolutely no justice to the strong performance of the individual athletes. It would be really great if the format was reconsidered by the IFSC.

[@ethangreyling553]

Yeah, these combined finals with 3 athletes out at once are not viewer friendly. Wish they wouldn't do this, end up missing 80% of the action and even the cameras are confused haha

[@JuliusSpin]

First time I find myself completely mentally demotivated to keep watching cause of the camera work. Such a shame, I was really hyped to see it be back again.

[@leoz7244]

Can someone explain me why this is a semi-final and also a final?

[@ClimbingRocksAU]

Due to rain, the qualifications were cancelled. As a result, the semifinals took on the qualification format, and the finals were conducted in the style of semifinals.

Matt, to progress as a climber you have to internalize the concept of perpendicular 😜

[@ankushsamant3878]

[@olig7979]

Way too many climbers at once, basically unwatchable

[@yournightmare2]

is there a live stream or complete video of this available? i find the cuts mid-sentence really irritating... I like that you want to make the whole thing shorter but at least let them finish the sentence they are speaking and keep the relevant commentary regarding technique and all. Last cherry on the top would be to replay the tops slowly.

[@andyg.4567]

Cameraman job is horrible! Showing all the climbers at once from a distance, occasional closeups...just a shame Upd: i gave up watchin after a 10min try. Just unwatchable

[@DL-Davide]

In my opinion the montage need to be different, a cam for every athlete, with cut on the rest part. Hard to watch multiple sessions.

[@simon6851]

What’s up with the camera work? Complete chaos. Can‘t watch that anymore. That‘s just sad..😢

[@jarfrobinksss]

Why is the final showing all climbers at the same time like a semi final? super annoying to watch. @ifsc looking at the other comments, time to fix this and go back to the proper one-at-atime format so we can actually enjoy the final folks who worked really hard to get to the final

[@jonskygge9779]

[@VerkiZilla]

Yikes, that camera hurts! And I'm kinda disappointed about the commentary being more of a friends' chat with popcorn than what I'm used to at these comps. Don't get me wrong, Stasa's input on certain moves and such is really cool, but besides that I find Shauna Coxsey or Alanah Yip more professional and overall more pleasurable to listen to.

[@rafaortwein6646]

I don't like this split view on multipule people climbing...

[@DingbatToast]

I'm not a fan of the setting in this one. Too dependent on swings, dynos' and jumps. Also, some of those missed jumps caused awkward landing for the climbers.

[@tommiles7821]
