Can anyone beat Janja? And what do we reckon for the men's lead semi-finals tomorrow?

[benghiskahn]

Much more enjoyable than the mens event yesterday. Some really strong performances from the usual suspects but obviously Janja was just on another level entirely.

It's always nice to hear Toby Roberts' thoughts on climbing. I think he's the best communicator of this sport. UK is blessed to have his talent.

how can I watch the replays from belgium anyone?

A yank fan cheering on McNeice; she's really come outta nowhere this IFSC season, two OQS podiums remarkable; such a battler.
I'll wager she tops the rope wall & earns final 8! But ... I'm one of those bets w/ my heart not my head (why i don't gamble. ;-))

Did anyone count how many times Toby said "I love climbing" ? 😄

[kylegary]

Wow, did they fire all the men's route-setters overnight? What a more enjoyable and entertaining event to showcase these athletes.

Where's the climbing? Don't want to watch interview or talking heads

[camilacb]

Is it real? In a video called "WOMEN's boulder" it's just 9 minutes about the female competitors and the whole rest of the 36min video is about MEN? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[peterfrancis]

we want to watch the climbers not listen to commentary

Pretty annoyed on a video about women’s Olympic bouldering finals that you were not interviewing a…woman.
