Oeoeoeooe it is today already?
civic prism
The speed qualifs are already done
pliant wraith
Ye im watching boulder qualifs rn
And in an hour im going bouldering myself xd
Not at that level tho sadly
pliant wraith
Ye did climbing with a rope a few times as well
Is very fun but i prefer bouldering
sour dragon
Not at that level tho sadly
Better, exactly

@sour dragon are u homege yet?
fingers crossed for the last german who can qualify for the climbing finals if he has a good run now 
omg its gonna be so close
autumn canyon
pliant wraith
he didnt make it to the top and is 5th right now
needing 8th to make it to finals
that the others fuck up
pliant wraith
only for one german
sour dragon
Yisyis
pliant wraith
jan hojer is too far down in the standings to qualify
but megos could make it with a lot of luck
omg its such a nailbiter
2 more climbers to go and the german needs one of them to have less points than him to make it
pliant wraith
but the last two are reallllly good at lead climbing i think
its gonna be so close aaaah
civic prism
it feels so wrong that the french guy fucks up this bad in the lead and still can make it to the finals
he also sucked in bouldering
pliant wraith
well its a combined competition
civic prism
i know :c
civic prism
basse
civic prism
bassa is his name lmao
pliant wraith
and he was insane at both speed and bouldering
sour dragon
Oh it's already the 3rd competition?
pliant wraith
i think the other bassa also got injured pretty bad in the lead thing
i dont think hes gonna be in finals
oh wait
bassa is the first name
xd
civic prism
yes
pliant wraith
im stupid
sour dragon
XD
civic prism
a bit of a dummy moment ngl
sour dragon
Leom
pliant wraith
mawem is their name
yea bassa mawem is not gonna make it to finals i think
but his brother
pliant wraith
how???
pliant wraith
if bassa cant do the finals cuz of his injury, will megos go through or will they just have 7 people in the finals?
civic prism
tbh the less french the better
pliant wraith
just maybe megos can still make it then
civic prism
let's hope
pliant wraith
tbh the less french the better
but u gotta admit the younger mawem brother was pretty insane at 2 out of the 3 competitions
civic prism
i don't which one of them is younger but the other one was great
pliant wraith
but imo it is pretty stupid to have the three disciplines in a combined competiton
civic prism
it just doesn't feel very fair
pliant wraith
because they are so different competitions
civic prism
because he literally placed 18 and 20 in two out of the three
i think it would be nice to have it like they have it in gymnastics
all-around and individual disciplines
pliant wraith
ye idk how the system works exactly, but i guess he got a LOT of points for his speed run
civic prism
have 4 sets of medals
pliant wraith
i mean it was just 0.2 seconds short from a world record no?
pliant wraith
pretty insane
civic prism
samge
pliant wraith
there is a slight chance they let him in the finals if the french guy cant compete cuz he injured pretty badly in the last competion it seems, but idk how the ruling is (if someone gets the "free spot" or if they just start with less people)
pliant wraith
also rooting for the slovenian women cuz there is no german
and janja garnbret is just insanely good from what ive seen
so rooting for her
sour dragon
That is very true
civic prism
Now that i think about it
They have to have even amount of people
Because speed is in pairs
So one way or another you can make an argument that whoever competes alone has an advantage
I don’t think ioc will go for something that could potentially cause an argument
- for example all the disciplines simone biles pulled out of still had 8 finalists
Even though it’s literally individual sport
So unless the frenchman competes regardless of the injury i think the german is in
civic prism
omg the polish climber was 0.05 short of world record
civic prism
0.01 ARE YOU KIDDING
sour dragon
Sheeesh
pliant wraith
Aaargh im missing the climbing today :(
Hopefully i can watch the mens finals tomorrow
sour dragon
Wait
Which finals are Friday
sour dragon
Hopefully i can watch the mens finals tomorrow
You can always rewatch them I think
civic prism
Women’s i’m pretty sure
sour dragon
Makes sense haha
pliant wraith
You can always rewatch them I think
True
civic prism
uh oh i guess some shoices have been made that bit someone in the ass
the polish climber came 1st in speed and then (as far as i understood) decided to not do anything in bouldering
and now she did pretty badly in lead sooooo
i think she still qualifies tho
she pulled a bassa mawem from yesterday lmao
and i'm mad at the system again
1-19-20
out of 20
how the hell do you qualify after that
you'd think since this is a combined discipline it would reward overall well-rounded athletes
nope, you can be good at one single thing and absolute shit at everything else and still make it
pliant wraith
and i'm mad at the system again
So Bassa Mawem had to withdraw from the finals tomorrow because he ruptured his bizepts tendon, but because of ruling apparently Megos will not be replacing him and he will be marked as did not start and placed 8th, which i think will automatically give his speed climbing opponent 4th place since it is head to head competition
Which is super bullshit tbh if thats the case
Because the opponent was one of the slowest in speed climbing quali
And Bassa was fastest
civic prism
BITCHHHHHHH
THIS IS SUCH BS
Isn’t speed just best time?
Regardless of pairs?
Man i hate this
sour dragon
wtf is this
pliant wraith
Regardless of pairs?
Thats what i thought, but i read it is head to head for some reason?! Dont know 100% if thats true, i will check later
Nvm i checked now
So apparently this is how speed climbing works:
But with 8 people
So first place vs. last, second vs. second to last and so on
And then multiple rounds
pliant wraith
Im not 100% sure on how it works tbh, since that picture is from like a climbing magazine trying to explain it, couldnt find an official olympics site with clear rules on how the point system works
Imo their system is way to complicated and poorly explained
civic prism
attention attention men's climbing finals are now
lmao this thing literally just started and the first two races are a joke already
the first one because b. mawem didn't start and the second one had a false start
sour dragon
@pliant wraith
haughty sequoia
GB vs GER in track cycling right now 
civic prism
oi
haughty sequoia
civic prism
so this is looking pretty interesting so far
i don't remember this spanish guy at all from qualifs
but good for him honestly
m mawem ranked pretty high and he was the most well rounded in qualifs so i'd say he has all the chances

Now i can finally watch climbing final
And jesus christ that last boulder looks insane
charred drum
Welp, 2 gold medals for us today already
Hockey and another one for indoor cycling
Might get a third aswell
Can I just say that for a tiny ass country we ain't doing bad? 
haughty sequoia
Always good seeing the little countries do well

So our women’s hockey team just won the tournament. This team has won every big prize imaginable the last few years and are reigning world champions, European champions, won the pro league, champions trophy and the world league and now the Olympic gold. I can only say mad fucking respect to these ladies.
haughty sequoia
Amazing achievement
