You have to feel for Adam Ondra. From the speed section, not his strongest suit but he was just happy to beat his record even if he lost. Then came the last event, and had the Gold medal in his grasp but eventually slipped. You can see how devastated he is. I was rooting for Ginés López from the start, but after watching Adam Ondre being competitive but still so light-hearted, it made me cheer for him too, especially after going that deep on the final event. Too bad, but I'm still happy for Ginés López.

Adam was actually very lucky for getting 4th in speed. He was supposed to be last.

[@error.418]

@@psicologiageneraleconalleg369 Yeah, this combination was really stupid. Speed climbers very much specialize in just speed climbing, spending little time on boulder and lead. And vice versa, boulder and lead climbers don't do speed climbing. It's just not representative of how climbing disciplines typically converge. I'm glad 2024 is splitting off speed into it's own competition for gold, with boulder and lead being a separate gold.

Adam Ondra on speed climbing has to be on of my favorite things I’ve watched

[@mj6582]

I feel for these guys, they have to do all 3 disciplines in one afternoon. They had to be exhausted and without skin for the lead climb which is the hardest. The lines and boulders looked as difficult as world comps but they usually have a day between each event. Feels like the Olympics decided they are bigger and better so they made it 3x more difficult which is nonsense, no other athlete had to suffer like they did. I know they are on a schedule, but we need to see adjustments for the next olympics

Agreed, and they aren't even giving helpful information about the climbers.... Like talk about their world cup experience (they did for the women). Also boulders are problems, yes the route setters have an idea but if you watch any IFSC coverage you'll know that many many people find different, effective ways. Hopefully in 2024 they get actual climbers to commentate. I like the IFSC method where they get a climber who didn't make the finals commentate along with a professional commentator.

The scoring system is majorly flawed. Speed should be scored by fastest time (or combination of times) over 2-3 rounds. Otherwise, it basically nullifies the performance in either bouldering or lead (Lopez's bouldering). Narasaki should have won the speed round, given the fact that he had the fastest time. His slip is the only reason why Lopez won. Undeserved in my opinion.

[@liborrajm2916]

@@theAngusmaster101 I agree. Adam being in the position where he watches Jakob taking the medals away from him was unfortunate and strange for sure, but it was Adam's inability to do at least a bit better in the boulders and/or win the lead that cost him.

Having said that, I'm sure most people look forward to seeing speed climbing as a separate discipline in the future.

Can we talk about how stupid the scoring is? Jakob's lead climb would determine Adam being 1st overall, or 6th overall. Mind-boggling system.

I agree that it is an interesting combination and will create a new league of athletes who will specifically train for the triathlon discipline. Currently however very few climbers are well trained in all 3 disciplines and the ones who are (Tamoa Narasaki) end up on a much lower place because of the strangely specific scoring criteria. In my opinion they should have applied the same method they use in the decathlon in athletics, which is an aggregation of the points scored in each event, where the scoring system is based of experience of performances of many competitions.

So glad sport climbing finally is in Olympics. Yes, current scoring system is super weird, but it will be changed in next Olympics, Speed will be a separate discipline. Having said that, I believe top-four in men's final is very fair. You can argue about places distribution, and I personally don't think Lopez is the really the best of them all, but those four guys together totally deserve to be there. Ondra screwed things himself, on top of not being competitive in Speed. Which is sad, but fair.

[@midshipman8654]

very true, i felt that that one American and the japanese preformed best overall, so I cant say the scoring was too off.

[@highertest]

Lopez got pretty lucky in speed though, his best time in the finals would have placed him far away from first. He got lucky everybody slipped when they faced him.

[@notmidtbo]

@@highertest I personally find this “play off” scheme to be pretty confusing and unfair. As suggested above Ondra was gifted 4th place by doing nothing. Not sure how is it set up at world championship though, never watched Speed closely

[@jamesneeson6785]

I think out of the 100 arbitrary ways you could set this competition up, Tomoa wins 70 of them, and Nathaniel wins 25 due to his great performance on the day. Gines Lopez wins exactly one and it relies on Bassa Mawen getting injured and Tomoa slipping in the speed final lmao

[@kinggamereon653]

​​@@jamesneeson6785 yeah, tomoa outclimbed lopez on every other speed round than the one where he faced lopez (and that was due to a mistake on tomoa's part) I don't understand why they had to make speed in a tournament format, just make everyone climb it once and get their scores In that format there's a chance tomoa could've slipped too ofc but the max points isnt based on your seeding luck If you make a tournament at least make it a double elimination so there's less luck when it comes to seeding

Amazing sport

[@wristcandy5451]

What a great sport to watch

[@sunnyday1868]

Shouting like crazy for every action

[@PhucNguyen-yp7pw]

Bloudering 3 expert level. I think no one in this world can overcome it

[@edgykay]

Ikr...Would be nice to know the intended beta for boulder 3. I think due to coming lead event, most of the climber are probably more concern about conserving their energy and saving the skin.

[@MikeMike-mz3gu]

ITS JOYFUL TO WATCH

[@blizzyhan]

Adam losing but continuing to get a PB and seeing his excitement is awesome

[@RussianSmacker]

It is mental how, if on the third boulder the zone was the one after the actual zone, Ondra would have been only one who actually managed to score it

[@Eric0728]

Don't understand why bouldering isn't number of moves like lead climbing is.

[@casparvoncampenhausen5249]

Could you maybe also upload the men's eight and men's single (rowing)? Thanks!

Increible deporte

[@croonist9]

finally!! The live version shown on the tv was absolutely horrendous

[@joshuastcha1254]

They should really replace the 20-something swimming medals by a single one, adopt combined format for high jump, pole vault & triple jump, as well as for all running distances. Oh, and incorporate the pairing format in those, of course. I'm sure all the athletes would be as thrilled by the entirely randomized output as the hundreds of climbers who forced themselves into this thing.

[@grizzly0304]

I mean they are probably testing the waters. Maybe there will be more competitions in the future

[@randomkid7672]

long and short distance running are total,y different things tho

[@blindpony6855]

@@randomkid7672 so is speed climbing and lead climbing

[@ntlespino]

This is only because they could only award one set of medals and didn't want to leave a discipline out. They'll have two sets for Paris 2024. Speed will be one set, lead and bouldering the other.
