Boulders being too difficult was an issue in the Olympic qualifiers that were held recently. The route setting needs to change because as a spectator it's no fun to watch 6 total tops in 80 attempts. This is the first exposure a lot of people will have to watching sport climbing and all they are going to see is a bunch of people falling.

And if everyone tops everything, where is the point? You could only measure the amount of tries, which would be misleading, bc it would be too easy for everyone and we dont know who is better, if its not on the edge of their potential.

Honestly I really liked that the cruxes were between the high-zone and top. The scoring feels really fair. The boulders could have been a bit less difficult but since it was fair, it didnt matter to me. I dont like, when the top is "free" after climbing to the high zone as it punishes really hard the climbers who manage to only climb to the low-zone.
@walrusclimbing

I agree. I think the seperation between those with tops and those without will consequently make for a nail-biter of a lead semi-final!
@itsmyboardwhotalk
Ай бұрын
in my opinion it was too difficult and absolutely no fun to watch. the womens semi today were so much more fun to watch. also I dont think its fair if its that difficult, bc the the athletes are just way to close to each other, that means one top is valued extremely. quite likely that the top 10 in lead will be maybe 10points away from each other, which makes one boulder top ridiculous important. just can repeat myself, I think the semi women finals showed how it should have been. also from the athletes perspective its just extremely brutal. imagine you are for example lopez or megos two of the most successful athletes of the game, training since two years for it and then one goes out with maybe one high zone? thats so brutal on ones self confidence.

@@growtocycle6992 many of the climbers would not be able to get as far as lopez, ondra, roberts and sorato. one who constantly does that is alex, who is second atm in the lead ranking world wide and with ondra probably the biggest legend in it. therefore my argumentation and Im not alone with that every big climbing magazine wrote tomoas and alexs slips were by far the most disappointing and Im not sure if you are aware but there is a big discussion about the setting, bc it was just not a good route and loosing bc of slipping is for everybody involved, fans, viewers, athletes, setter just unsatisfying, thats why the setting should try to avoid that.

The top8 is completely open so far, there is a very small gap from 8th to 11th so lead will be for sure deciding but again, Sorato and the rest of the top6 are pretty much safe if they manage to do 65% of the lead wall which imo isnt fair for lead specialists like Megos. Nonetheless I think Sorato is proving why he is n1 right now. Jakob had the greatest climbing year in 2023 but in 2024 he wasnt as good as 2023 so I think we will witness Sorato winning gold and probably Tomoa and Jakob top2 and top3. I can definetely see Adam pushing for top3 but not higher, which I really hope I am wrong because rooting hard for him!

in my opinion it was really almost no fun to watch (the cameraman also did a horrible job, sadly). also I think it would be better to separate boulder from lead as single events and I dont know make a combined over all rating based on the rangs and not on the points, bc it just doesnt transfer well.

I think it's the live director who choses what angle to cut to and I agree there's a lot of frustrating choices. Cutting away from climbers as they are about to make a move, cutting away from boulders of consequence to moves that everyone makes consistently... I was also disappointed with the lack of splitscreen use. At the end of the stream, one splitscreen was used, so they definitely have the tech.
