Oriane Bertone is a "natural", like Natalie Grossmann; Brooke Raboutou is a strenght, like Miho Nonaka. I am looking for the Games in Paris 24, with Janja I hope and maybe some new names; but Oriane might be ready for Silver, even Gold (she will be barely 19 in 24). She did well in French finals this year (2nd), she will be a very great climber (she already is); she is from The Reunion (west of Madagascar), a very rocky island.

Someone please show IFSC how to moderate comments, it's an industry standard when having a livestream.

[@wd4413]

Just turn the chat off at this point.

[@epincion]

The IFSC runs on a limited budget and the film coverage of any comp is the responsibility of the local organisers. In the majority of comps Matt Groom (a Brit climber who lives in France) is the commentator along with invited guest climbers Matt asks from the comp. He also keeps an eye on the live stream comments. For the US comps its clear that the local Salt Lake organisers have control.

[@ikkoichigo]

Yes, Matt Groom does great job as a commentator, but he shouldn't be responsible for moderating comments. If the local organiser cannot control it (and clean comment section even couple days after stream...) then they should turn off live chat in total. This situation is riddiculous. And with all the respect but what you wrote is no excuse. If they can get volunteer (?) brushers, they can get volunteer moderators. Hell, you can even set up an automatic moderation by key words, and as we know trolls don't have a vast vocabulary.

[@GarrettEderer]

Wow. That was crazy. I'm also wondering if in the future they do a random drawing of who goes first for each route because it does seem to affect things quite a bit sometimes if you are last as compared to first. That one bouldering problem had peoples shoe skids all over and that might have made it extra slippery. Just my thoughts.

[@motherlove8366]

Who goes first is based on the qualifiers normally, and they keep the order for each problem so everyone gets the same rest period.

[@vunvunkun4216]

Let me first state that I think all climbers in the comp are amazing. I don't hate Brooke Raboutou, but rules in comp are set for a reason. I personally think stepping on the screw holes on the wall is a foul and here's why: According the IFSC rules 2021 v1.7.6: (Glossary - Interpretation - 2) "Artificial Aid means *Controlling* or *Using* any of the following: a) any “T-Nut” placements provided for the fixing of artificial holds;" (Page. 3) " *Control* means, for the purposes of judging and scoring, that a competitor has made use of some object/structure to: a) *achieve or change a stable body position* ; or b) successfully brake any dynamic movement," (Page. 4) " *Use* means, for the purposes of judging and scoring, that a competitor has made use of some object/structure to effect both *a progressive movement of their centre of mass or hips* ; and a movement of either or both hands toward: a) the next sequential handhold along the line of progression; or b) any other handhold further along the line of progression which has been successfully Controlled by another competitor from the same handhold; " (Page. 9) From the definition of "control" & "use", I am sure Brooke Raboutou has controlled/use the T-nut placement on the wall. It doesn't matter whether she control/ use with hand or foot, it's the same thing. Things mentioned above is just my opinions base on the rule book set by IFSC, and the final decision should leave to IFSC to decide.

[@deepmonkey676]

Totally agree with you. Thanks for stating it so good

[@iangleaves]

I guess you'd have to determine if her foot is actually being supported by the tnut or if it's just hitting the whole. And it they want to fix it they have to change wording to say bolt holes.

[@Rykvp]

I'm with @Ian Gleaves on this. Plus it would make climbing much more troublesome as you would have to keep worry of all the bolt holes when you are just using the friction of the wall to climb

[@simonezralandau]

In practice it would be impossible to enforce this since anytime an athlete smears against the wall and touches a bolt hole they would have to be called off.

[@vunvunkun4216]

@@Rykvp I think the intention is where we should draw the line, if for example a climber purposely search for the bolt holes, look at the holes and step on to it, and use it to change his/her body position, that's intentional. In other case, if you are not focusing it, you were smearing the wall, and happens to touched the bold holes, I think that is fine. I know it may be difficult for the judges, but I think what Brooke did was totally intentional.

[@finlayhumberstone8137]

The route setters really need to stop underestimating the women

[@mavax]

The men finalists did together 15 tops and 4 zones, while the women finalists did together 15 tops and 4 zones (see both tables from 3:24:10). If the route setters had underestimated women, they would top more than men on their boulders. They don't, so it looks like the route setters know their job pretty well, no draw, and exactly the same relative difficulty for men and women, to differentiate 6 athletes with 4 boulders.

Ondra is just from another planet, sport climber being the best at bouldering O.o

[@richardfelderer295]

old commentator of the WC was way better

[@hyau23]

After seeing M3, the wide boyz are gonna get some phone calls soon haha

[@robc7903]

Incredible climbing, really excited for the depth of talent. But some of that camera work was hideous. I don't want a shot of her back and head while she's working a precision fingery move.

[@Bloxeh]

Yeah, the zoomes on m2 were a little excessive too

[@chrissmithdoe2100]

no idea what Oriane's sequence was for W2 due to camerawork.

[@robc7903]

@@chrissmithdoe2100 exactly the one that annoyed me 😂

[@woulg]

Don't forget about the Blair witch project camera bits

[@JMnyJohns]

Great to see Natalia and Brooke making the podium. The boulders were pretty weak though. Any problem that is one move, or where it is only testing height is just a bad route setting job. #4 was both.

[@woulg]

As a tall person I personally think all the boulders should just be a competition about who is tallest. I think that would be most fair. Ha!

[@goldenmoonlight1573]

The way the commentator calls Mejdi "Schlack" instead of Schalck is really disrupting it for me :D

[@desputnikcommander]

great comp. But what a terrible timing for the commercials.

[@jonathanhurst7646]

Hard to believe a video of this length has more ad time than content time.

[@alcupone6462]

They probably don't want you to watch the women, all the ads are at the beginning. I was bit rushing so I fast forwarded through, still saw too many ads. Watching live is safest regarding ads. :)

[@wd4413]

Dude get an ad blocker.

[@Bloxeh]

I watched on chromecast and got 1 spot.

[@matteomusso9351]

use the browser Brave, it's like Chrome but with an ad-blocker in it

[@philipppuchner1115]

Firefox with uBlock Origin. Never see anything else than the video itself on youtube. But with the phone, per app, it is disgusting! But there is this app, youtube alternative, same videos, just another "door" to these videos. I just forgot the name ;)

[@gabrieltippery3873]

3:15:16 Adam just high fives the official coming in to give instructions

[@AKIRA_25258]

so impressive Mejdi !

[@cill2292]

Setting was waaaay too soft for both, but nice to watch!

[@andrewbenjamindobson3477]

Are there more commercials on this upload than normal IFSC uploads. Seems like a get an ad after each boulder.

[@epincion]

Ads are nothing to do with the IFSC but to do with your local internet provider.

[@lamonali]

Why is no one blocking the creeps in the chat trying to oversexualized the minor athletes? This is unacceptable. IFSC you need a mod to report those.

[@pklester1771]

I don't see what you are talking about, but the chat looks like a bunch of stupid chatter that could be eliminated without any loss to the world.

[@cianomahony6916]

this was a class competition also. Great commentary and co-commentary...Best of the year for sure! Any chance they can do international competitions also 😀

[@ThePansybramble]

I think there were a few misses overall in this wc. In the qualis m1 and w3 were ridiculous, the 1st for being super hard and the 2nd for being super easy. And then at the finals, I think they really underestimated the women, quite easy boulders overall.. And especially if compared to the male finals, which were the best part of this wc. Anyway, let's hope to more interesting stuff in the future (bring the cracks!!)
