The World Games 2022 - Bouldering

[@boteoh]

Fun fact - female commentator is Akiyo Noguchi. And thanks for uploading this! 👍🏻

[@autumneagle]

Akiyo sensei! She's so great, always insightful.

[@rock_your_boat]

I watched this live on the olympic channel, in english and there was also a female commentator, no idea who she was but she wasn't a climber that's for sure and it was absolutely excruciating to listen to. I kid you not, at one point she actually said that climbers where putting on honey on their hands when talking about liquid chalk... I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. Somebody must have trolled her pretty hard with that, because I can not imagine how one would pull out such nonsense out of ones ass. I was really contemplating about clipping that and putting it on reddit for the communal LULZ but it's just to much effort. I'm sure it's still up there in the VOD, so if your looking to cash in on some sweet meaningless internet points, look into it. I know I'd love to hear that nonsense again xD

Whoever decided to have a climbing comp in July in Alabama is a sadist.

[@spacecowboysucio]

xd lol

[@jjns3991624]

A bouldering comp in Alabama in the summer? Travel from all over the world to get those good conditions 👍

[@jjns3991624]

Just keep traveling…flying all over the world to climb on plastic!! Ignore the fact that crags are burning up because of global warming. We gotta grow the sport after all.

[@SnowmansApartment]

oh wow, totally missed this competition! Thanks so much for sharing!:)

[@evanrossow6150]

Thank you for uploading! I was struggling to find it anywhere to watch. 本当にありがとう

[@abiroha]

実況の人めっちゃいい👍 解説の野口さんへの質問の仕方もうまいし、盛り上がるところで声を上げてくれる。しかも選手情報も把握してる。 よくいる声だけあげて解説すべきところでずっとくっちゃべってる人より全然いいし初心者にもわかりやすい。

[@laurenr7290]

Thanks so much for uploading, I’ve been searching everywhere for somewhere to watch it!!

[@heruilin4404]

Yoshiyuki Agata's deadpoint to the top on #3 at 50:29 was incredible.

[@RonaldoMessina]

great to see Miho in competitive state again!

[@awdrifter3394]

Without Janja Miho has a good chance of getting gold.

[@DanishMule]

came here after watching 16 minutes of the event with the american commentator it was painful, here I might not understand a thing they say but atleast the love what they are talking about.

[@Jaylloh]

Love seeing the interaction at 1:17:25

[@monoman4083]

Live commentators: Akiyo Noguchi . ....guess she knows what they are taking about

[@anaismnzn5820]

The guy brushing is so terrible it's funny.

[@nickt204]

1st boulder was a banger

[@autumneagle]

The pure joy from Mao when she topped the last boulder and embraced Miho with excitement made me smile so big my cheeks hurt

[@BirdTho]

I'm an America in America watching an Alabama bouldering video narrated in Japanese. Where's the English language version?

[@rogerelzenga4465]

Omg! Sofya's dyno on problem Nr.3 to that loose volume! :O look at it flex and almost come off the wall :p

[@tw-fx3ft]

アナウンサーが加わるとこんなに見え方が変わるのね。 わかりやすくて個人的には良いです。

[@DeathlyDiJ]

the 4th guy on problem m4, is his start not illegal/wrong?

[@bryanbryan6108]

What dialect of English is this?

[@LuckyFireFive]

They just have a strong Irish accent

[@stoutlager6325]

英語の字幕をお願いします。

[@joetitterington1222]

Why is the commentary in Japanese

[@nihongodaisuki]

丁寧な解説の野口啓代さんには感謝しか無いが、アナウンサー（？）の男性はNHKか💢回りくどく要領を得ない、しかも意地の悪いやり取りを聞かされるのは苦痛でしかない。

[@jeffdriscoll6096]

Ms.Akiyo Noguchi is a woman

[@GJU32]

Hai. eeeeeeee.hai.hai. eeeeeee

[@ShadowDatsas]

Amazing competition and boulders! But oh damn, this male commentator... Every time the poor lady commentator spoke, this guy would interrupt every 1 second with "hay" and "eee". For fucks sake let the woman speak for a second man!!!

[@jchillweek64]

I'm by no means an expert, but I'm pretty sure these "hay" interjections are normal in japanese conversation, signaling that you are listening and paying attention.

[@timurbekanarbayev4188]

🤣 As I understand, it means that he is totally agree with her 🤷

[@moritzwegge6835]

dafuq? but you realised they speak Japanese, right? Cause apparently you didn't realised that you have no clue what this ""hay"" and ""eee"' means...

[@nuutti729]

Lmao such an ignorant comment

[@timdolinger1352]

Hey George, how about you stop being so racist and xenophobic for a change? Don't you understand that interrupting women is an important part of many cultures all over the world? Sorry, just having fun. I didn't even know ehat you were talking about initially; I had the volume turned down. I barely listen to the commentary in general, but given that it's in a language that I literally do not understand, I'd rather just watch the comp and listen to a podcast or music or whatever.
