She may not have won, but I feel like Gejo was the real hero of the women's bracket. Really saved that third route from looking like a bunch of rubbish on a wall. XD

[@gggfx4144]

Amazing to get to watch this for free, but some of the routes were daft - if the climbers get stuck in the start zone it doesn't make for good watching

[@WhatsY0UTUB3]

Ya that black route at 2:30:00 was terrible

[@emmneto]

Alex Puccio didn't even make it on the start position in climb #3. The commentators thought she had it but the judges were shaking their heads because she was missing the two-point contact on the lower green volume. This is frustrating to watch most of the way through.

[@utkufisek]

[@DanieleMonchiero]

Hard set of boulders for the women!

[@escaladaseguraamimanera3621]

magnifico encuentro, Alex increíble como siempre

[@eric752]

I feel the bouldering competition for men is a little unfair, only the 3rd problem is difficult for climbers, which can be easier for taller climbers, that’s the reason why Alex Megos said that only Jan can use the method which he did in 3rd problem.

[@chenpaggy60]

Thank you, IFSC:)))

This is IFSC Climbing World Cup not IFSC Parkour World Cup

[@n3lis94]

This is the first time I've seen a World Cup, but did the route setters just kinda fail or is it normal that so many climbers get stuck in the starting move(s) on many of the routes? Edit: Men's 2 was completely unfair of course

[@DesmondRayBeltrop]

It's not normal. The route setting on this, from start to finish, is horrendous.

[@drewharris7785]

Love the phrase "industrial language"

[@woulg]

Came to the comments to find this. I'm gonna start apologizing for "industrial language" when I swear from now on. Hahah what a moment

[@swagatda1644]

I felt route 2 was not possible for short heights. That gave advance to German climber. He was good one bt i had a doubt for route 2.

[@ThePurpleAlien]

It's weird that 1 top and 2 bonuses (Akiyo) beats 1 top and 3 bonuses (Stasa). I know it's based on the number of attempts for the tops, but it still seems like Stasa should be 3rd.

[@lechatvenere]

Bonus can be taken if after qualification, semi-final and final, climbers are still equal. As Stasa and Akiyo were not equal... it's as simple as that, but quite unfair.

[@yumapplesauce]

ThePurpleAlien each attempt also counts. The score reads on the fact that Akiyo has a top on one attempt where Stasa has a top on three attempts. If the scores were tied with one top and one attempt, the bonuses would be factored into the score where Stasa would have outranked Akiyo.

[@iDominic42]

There is a bigger problem, as I see it. Attempts don't count unless a bonus or top is counted. Therefore, there is a point at which a climber should stop trying to get even a bonus, because it might count as 15 attempts. Failing to get the bonus at all does not count against, at all. It just disappears. But if you get it at attempt 15, that will count against you. There should be a 3rd category, which is number of attempts in total. We saw that at Munich. Lots of climbers would have had their score changed on M2 if they had stuck the bonus because their were huge numbers of goes at that problem. But no attempts were counted against anyone other than Jan Hojer who was the only one to get the bonus or the top.

[@yumapplesauce]

iDominic42 I don't see that as a problem. It becomes a mental game in the sense that it's a matter of strategy and knowing your capability. Do you press on to top even though you've attempted 7 times? Or do you save your strength for the next climb?

[@josiahmanson]

@iDominic42 No, the extra attempts don't count against you, because getting the top or bonus takes priority. Someone with 2 tops in 999 attempts wins over someone with 1 top in 1 attempt. Similarly, if you haven't gotten the bonus yet, there is no reason not to keep trying. It will only count against your bonus attempts, not your top attempts. The only reason not to keep attempting is that you will get tired.

[@grassytiger]

They should have put this in the olympics

[@tacticalchunder1207]

Grassy Tiger it’s going into 2020! Albeit in a silly format (everyone has to do bouldering, lead and garbage speed climbing).

[@kim98677]

Oh my god, Jan completely destroyed M2 😭 such unbelievable power

[@stronggirlsuperheroineonli5094]

I wonder if Akiyo NOGUCHI could have creaped her foot up on that hold after the bonus at 1:54:25 instead of jumping.

[@richardfredlund3802]

credit to the route setters also, .. a route that's obviously really hard, but is doable.

[@weiurwei8247]

Janja❤

[@jcrotty18]

I'll happily take up the debate the commentator elicits here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGOwoZuOrtWdepY\?t\=11871. Jan him self points out he had height advantage on M2 here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGOwoZuOrtWdepY\?t\=12045. But Jan also says he doesn't complain about high feet or cramped boulder problems. Having watched most of the bouldering WC for the last three years and being a tall climber myself I can say unequivocally that taller climbers get a raw deal more often than not. I think it's actually gotten worse this year as the dominance of the Japanese and the departure of other large bodies like Sarafutdinov has lead to even tougher sets for taller climbers. What really rubbed me the wrong way was that I don't recall a single time in a final in last three years that it was insinuated that a short climber won due to favorable "shortie" sets.

[@NotQuiteFirst]

triggered

[@fiendsfootage]

TL,DR: Jan is great but he totally lanked it.

[@mrrrokas]

They are called "agile"

[@tacticalchunder1207]

Being slightly taller than average seems to be the optimal size to be able to do all kinds of climbs. Look at Adam Ondra.

[@ig2d]

how come the European champions didn't have a podium presentation?

[@quickstep2408]

i don't much like the camera shots on this one. i prefer seeing the whole wall head-on so i can see what the climber is trying to set up for. amazing athletes though -- 2020 olympics here we go!!

[@franksmit763]

Alex Puccio dit come off the ground 2 time on W3, but neither were legitimate starts

[@miriamshv]

looks like route setters changes some finals boulders after they figured out Jan is in finals. His main advantage is his height and second boulder was set impossible for other 5 climbers

[@n3lis94]

Yeah if that would be on purpose it would be quite a scandal

[@MrRubikraft]

1:30:08 I heard "One minute left fuck you" XD

[@jamesnicol7077]

I’m new to bouldering. I absolutely love it!!! However these competitions don’t seem to resemble bouldering that much. Feels a bit more like a cross between bouldering and parkour

[@androgynousmaggot9389]

What move did you see in parkour?

[@2freet]

Itˋs bad directing if we go through 2 climbers without seeing the boulder from behind. Whatˋs the point of these side angles? We can‘t see and compare technique, it´s confusing.

[@alpinejonny]

This is some terrible route setting for the women's... I feel bad for the climbers. I would imagine comps like this are what make people quit competing for good.

[@janissaryJames]

[@performingartist]

it's not the resolution, it's the crappy interlacing and compression.

[@franksmit763]

hyau23 this looks more like 1080i Looks terrible on a big screen

[@Tormentor]

I really do think they should simply do 6 boulders with 6 minutes of time. The route setting was also not quite as good as I would have hoped. Some of those really favored tall climbers way too much, while complex thinking was a little absent.

[@Marauder1981]

Stop whinig Jade Falcon and prepare for war!

[@ko12ko12]

Im new to this, but basically height wins? That hojer fellow didnt seem to do anything extraordinary, just reached every single hold statically with his reach.

[@qwertyoscar]

Tall guys have benefits on reachy problems of course, but at the same time they are more heavy. Depending on problems, some of them can be beneficial if you are taller, but some problems can be very compressed and would be easier for short people. Also, if they problem is heavy, or the grips are very small (crimpy), then it is easier for a light person to hang on than a tall person. So it is not really absolute.

[@josiahmanson]

The caster is just salty because he is short. If height is a benefit or not depends on the particular problem. Obviously, being tall isn't a serious advantage, because there are no NBA-height professional climbers. Average height of climbers is probably equal to or lower than national averages.

[@furyofbongos]

2:11:28 What is it with all the stupid camera angles?

[@CT2507]

ridiculous routes, also favors tall climbers. route 3 was inexcusably bad. if the climbers cant even get started its just wrong. also makes for a frustrating watch. feel sorry for the women.

[@TheMindofagenius1]

1:21:59 omg

[@earlgrey2130]

Really IFSC? You rendered interlaced video footage to progressive? In 2017? It looks horrible! And the worst thing is that the stream wasn't interlaced. Someone must've fucked up and interlaced it all in post processing. Look guys.. i don't wanna be uncessarily critial or an asshat. But you have such a great competition. Great athletes. The whole comp was a lot of fun to watch (was there live). Amazing footage. And then you flush it down the toilet by making it almost unwatchable.. it's just a shame. Please check the stuff before you upload it. Have someone responsible for quality control. Doesn't take much time! It's really hard to sell competitive climbing as a serious, established sport to friends and family when everytime they wanna watch a stream or a replay it looks like it's done by an amateur with choped up video, interlaced footage, missing or broken audio.. You're short-selling your own product with bad presentation.

[@TheMegaMrMe]

than pay for it. most of the people that handle this kind of things are volunteers.

[@natashaparikh9623]

The stream cut out at many parts - probably why they needed to interlace video from backup cameras, etc.

[@Drinkyoghurt]

I thought I was the only one bothered by the severe interlacing and quality drops. The low bitrate I can sort of handle, but the interlacing was really horrible.

[@Jebedy]

What other professional sport can you watch live-streamed on KZbin at absolutely no cost? Every year the production values get better, the glitches and streaming issues get fewer, and yet the price stays exactly the same.
