For skateboarding, the points system is divided into three parts: results from prior competitions and the results from the Shanghai and Budapest Olympic Qualifier Series events respectively. One-third of the points are allocated from past competitions, while the remaining two-thirds will be up for grabs in Shanghai and Budapest. The combined points from all competitions will give the final ranking.

They showed time and time again that a split screen can be done in this stream, but i will never understand why the camera team often chose to not do the split screen when 2 athletes are on the wall at the same time!?!?

[@goloher]

Or when one is already down and another is in the crux, we will surely watch the closeup of the first one.

[@PanBuchticka]

Absolutely horrible camera work.

[@bloctribe]

It's called incompetence. Stopped watching comps loooong ago. Imagine paying for that too...😂

Thank you for letting Matt Groom commentate. He's the most knowledgeable and inspired commentator you could find for bouldering and lead. He gives the competitions so much value and insight about rules, athletes and scoring. Always a pleasure to hear him

[@RiggioMichele]

Are you kidding? lol He is the worst climbing commentator I ever listened, Charlie Boscoe was much better. Matt doesnt even know whether a hold is controlled or not, he has lack of climbing knowledge. The only thing I like about matt that he is positive but his acting can be really irritating. I would rather see Alex Honnold or one of the routesetters (like the one who commentated in slc) in the commentating position.

[@xXxidealess]

@@RiggioMichele Of course you can have that opinion/preference, but seriously, you complain about little knowlegde and then want Alex Honnold instead? 🤣 He's asking about rules all the time. Which i have no problem at all with, but it's a weird take while saying Matt's not informed enough.

[@assaqwwq]

biggest shill in climbing :D

[@RiggioMichele]

@@xXxidealess matt is a commentator and alex asked about competition rules like is it permitted using the bolt holds

[@davidochkaninitotan]

Is that lady last Olympic commentator after learning about climbing?

Terrible camera work... Just make it split-screen for more players!

[@paweorowski6753]

what a show! what a performance. congrats to all the athletes and the setters

[@ldmr3099]

tbh, there is a bit of imbalance between lead and boulder. the points after 60 mark in lead is relatively easy to get

[@Hiryuu42]

Yes ! Climbers either got 60 or the top which make the boulder run irrelevant. Boulders were also way too hard.

[@bryanthan9363]

@@Hiryuu42not the case for the women tho, boulder was almost 100 but only the best got 60 ish

[@pirminborer625]

Why last section of lead gets you 40 points is just imbalanced compared to the difficulty if topping a boulder. They should simply make the scoring system linear, for boulders and lead

[@adri9tv761]

Grande Alberto Gines !!!!!

[@edgykay]

Awful camera work for the slab problem, overall frustrating camera work for bouldering. Did the cameraman fall asleep when Hamish McArthur is climbing the lead wall @2:20:09 ?

[@jamrollz]

I hate it when they zoom in, like we can't see body position or the geometry of the wall. So stupid, imagine if the NBA zoomed into Lebrons face as important plays are being made instead of showing the whole court.

[@primalbeer]

This was a huge problem last olympics as well... I really hoped they fixed it this time but this does not bode well :(

[@michaelbraendel]

@@primalbeer That's true, particularly in China! They might not have trained people who understand what the climbing audience wants to see.

[@kim98677]

What a relief that matt's in the booth

[@lillygraygray4018]

omg yes! I had the same thought. Hopefully he'll commentate every Olympic round. He gives so much insight into every competition

[@xXxidealess]

The results are missing almost the complete whole time in bouldering and lead, women and men. I can't watch it that way, too frustrating to never know anything. You don't even see the NAMES of the current climbers. And again failure to show splitscreen.

[@10freekie2]

Well you seem to have watched everything though 😅.

[@xXxidealess]

@@10freekie2 I have, but i was very angry the whole way through 😂 But i also skipped a lot of the parts where i didn't know what was going on anyway. That took the excitement out of it for me. I mean, watching someone approach a boulder while not knowing his current score, and to what score a top or zone would elevate him... that way i don't care very much about wether he tops or not. So it's a frustrating and kind of time-wasting watch.

[@yournightmare2]

Super impressive lead round for Sascha, Alberto and Dohyun! I really loved how they turned it around.. :) Thanks for uploading. Can you also upload the women's lead round please?

[@user-tm3qo5mv8z]

is this Hannah Meul? They don't say it on the stream ;)

[@manifbaker]

@@hey_jay75 it's annoying they never say who they are, should be in the description I think.

Where can we watch the full semi finals and qualifications?

[@aitanabellveserarmas1809]

olympics channel

[@ldmr3099]

olymics official site

[@hijim3874]

Olympic website has them

[@deinauge7894]

I only found crappy highlights, and live broadcast. no replays

[@meg1234]

On the Paris 2024 Olympics app you can tap on ‘watch live’ and then scroll across to where it says ‘replays’ - the full qualis and semis are all on there with commentary. :) There are a lot of highlights videos on there but keep scrolling down until you see the longer broadcasts.

[@vincentd333]

I really don’t like the setting on the boulder round. Didn’t allow the athletes to fully express their capabilities.

[@letterZach]

Why is the Womens Lead Finals not shown ??

[@Vincent-jv1pp]

it’s a separate video, the event was on a different day, you can also watch it on the Olympics channel

[@letterZach]

@Vincent-jv1pp I've watched the Women's Boulder & Lead Finals but the Lead Final was not in it. The other videos were just the highlights of the Lead Final. If you have the actual link to the full Women's Lead Final, please send it my way. Thank you!

[@changhiu]

huuuuuge respect for all of the athletes by looking how exhausted after they finished the competition. This comp format is really extremely tired for the athletes, both mentally and physically, only around 1hr rest between 2 intense events.

[@jamesaaronmanarang]

Love it!!

[@buraksahin2860]

When was this UK time?

[@LadyPelikan]

Why dont you show the score board?!

[@wdwdHenry9022]

[@darkkeijp]

Combining lead and boulder makes less and less sense if you make every boulder a parcours problem.

[@jk-qe3jj]

The camera crew has shown time after time that they can not be trusted with a zoom lens.

[@chaojiang3133]

Where is the Japanese team?

[@edgykay]

No male climbers from Japan as they already have 2 athletes qualified for Olympics

[@virxbmc]

Stopped watching this Men's comp, since noticing the women's video is half arsed thrown together and incomplete.

[@angrybirder9983]

Adam statics the dyno (again). He just keeps doing it.

[@lucaa4480]

So who qualified?

[@goloher]

There will be another round in Budapest, so those with the highest scores (points gained at both events will be added) will qualify (best 5 or 6 per gender if I remember correctly).

[@lucaa4480]

@@goloher ah ok thanks

[@deinauge7894]

it's 12 per gender. with restrictions on countries. For those who got in these finals, a semifinals place in Budapest should be enough.

[@goloher]

@@deinauge7894 oh wow cool, I thought it was 12 overall for both genders. Thanks!

[@benjaminjoseph9380]

The best 10 per gender. The last two places per gender are given by the host country and universitality criterion

[@alcszey]

wait no japanese climbers??

[@elizabethbecker5523]

Yeah the Olympic spots for Japan in men are already filled by Sorato and Tamoa.

Just get some method of circumnavigating them. Easy on desktop. Harder on mobile, but easier on browsers vs apps.
