Climber got canceled after Janja hugged him

Fun clip from rednote. Turns out this guy is one of the setter and Janja’s local guide. He said both Roman and he thought Janja would fall that way , that’s why he chose standing there.

PS: im joking, people are just joking online, they say something like “ you will never climber anything harder than v1” “pls delete your account and never show up again”, to this guy. Pls don’t downvote me if you don’t know the culture difference. I just wanna share something fun about the GOAT.

How this works:
Fill out the form at the link below before the closing time.

  • For BOULDER this form will close on Thursday, May 21st, at 14:00/2:00 PM Bern Time (CEST, UTC +2), or 12:00/12:00 PM UTC. To see when the form for boulder will close in your timezone, click here.

Predictions made after the deadline will not be accepted, even if the form is still open!

Note: currently, it is not possible to see or edit your predictions directly. However, if you’d like to see or make any changes to your picks, please contact the mods via ModMail and we’d be happy to send you a screenshot of your choices and/or make any changes for you. If you'd like to edit your predictions, you can also submit another entry. Only one entry per user is allowed, and we will only consider the latest entry that was submitted before the deadline.

Everything you need to submit predictions is on the form!

The rules are the same as last year. You will fill out predictions for your top 8 men and top 8 women in your chosen discipline(s). If you guess a placement correctly, you will be awarded 20 points. If you are one spot off, you will be awarded 15 points. If you are two spots off, you will be awarded 10 points. If you are 3 spots off, you will be awarded 5 points, and anything more than 3 spots off is worth 0 points.

Awards

The top 3 in each discipline will also be given a badge for their user flair. We may introduce more awards later in the season depending on participation.

The results will be posted after the event.

Janja lead final frame by frame

I thought it was rope at first , but turns out Janja aimed a "hold" a inch away from the edge, don't know why, maybe it was blind spot. But she landed so accurately on the invisible hold like there were a crimp there, and even stayed for 2 frames on it...

I just checked the IFSC calendar for registrations to events at least up to July and Ai is not in any of them. She qualified as part of team Japan for both boulder and lead. In interviews, she said she wants to focus on competitions now that’s school is over. Anyone knows why she isn’t registered?

What are everyone's fav semis (mainly boulder but standout lead ones too) to rewatch from previous years? Could be good setting, dramatic scoring changes, unexpected underdogs, overall vibes - whatever the reason. Looking for something to take me through the gaps between comps now that the season is on again :)
