Sport Climbing 🧗‍♂️ | DAY 7 | Full Replay | European Championships Munich 2022

I don't love the bouldering format of having multiple people out at once during a final. If they've made it that far I want to be able to focus fully on each of them as they climb each route. I hope whoever makes this decision will reconsider that format!

When she’s done climbing, Molly definitely has a career in broadcasting. It’s a real joy listening to she and Matt commentate on the comp.

I think the women right now are way more fun to watch than the men! Janja is amazing!

Such a shame for that 1 slip on boulder 4 taking away the perfect 200pts score. Go Janja! You are and will always be the GOAT!!!!!!!

Overall I think that the format and scoring system is good - much better than the last Olympics. The only two changes I would like to see are : 1. During the bouldering, have the athletes come out one at a time like in a regular bouldering final. 2. Give some score (even 0.5 or 0.25 points) to the first section of the lead route. Right now, if someone falls on the first move of the route, or someone falls on the move before the 1 point holds they would get the same score, even though one person did many more moves than the other. This would be especially relevant if it was a harder lead route that saw some low falls.

Seems like a good format. Maybe some small tweaks could be made (eg. I'm not sure a single lead hold should be worth 50 attempts on a boulder), but really anything is better than a format that includes speed climbing. Also Janja is incredible as always.

This woman has got to be the most dominant person to ever exist in a single sport. Insane! Also hope she isn't hurt!!!

A competition for 2nd place

Happy with the new format. The podium places are now solely dependent on each individual’s performance and not on their competitors like the rank multiplication system with speed.

I'm not sure I like the first 30 moves of lead not being worth anything. I think it would be better if they were worth at least something.

Those mats were brutal

The race for the Olympics is going to epic. Some much talent, and spots in speed and lead/Boulder won’t be wasted as they were in the 2020 combined format.

Wow the interviewer at the end is awful lol

KazbeLove! 🥰

Absolutely creazy how janja got a score of 199.9 out of 200

3:11:34 I thought they'd been given a wheelbarrow each!

Hanah's biceps are so huge! and cut. I really thought she was going to get boulder #3

A fantastic competition. Interesting to see a few comments about the format and scoring system. I think overall the organisers have done well, but scoring and format is fun to think about. If I was going to change anything about the scoring I would wonder about: (i) Making every hold on a boulder a "bonus", so every move is worth something. This is especially relevant where the routesetters read a route different to the climbers, or don't anticipate a crux, which does happen sometimes. (ii) Making the scoring relative, so that the lead route scoring per hold depends on how many other climbers have touched or used a hold, and similar in bouldering... perhaps getting to and using a hold few or no other climbers get to (even if not a top) should be worth more than a top that many climbers achieve. This would be complicated to implement but I think it's worth thinking about long term, as a way of taking the subjectivity of the routesetters out of the scoring a bit.

Strange that zone attempts don't factor at all if you made it past the zone. If two climbers both take 2 attempts to do a climb, but one got both zones in their first attempt and the other got neither, it wouldn't matter. They both get 24.9
