LOVED the setting for the men’s. Semis and Finals. Really the only miss was M1 being too easy. I’m never going to complain about a boulder like M2, because IF an athlete had pulled that together, it probably would have been the difference in this comp. And it’s not like they weren’t close. The athletes have needed a bigger challenge for much of this year.
Also THANK YOU, a video crew who finally gets it. It wasn’t perfect, but they did a much better job this comp of showing the climb while it was happening and then showing close ups, quick cuts, and facial expressions while the climbers were resting or swapping out. Excellent directing and much better than the past few comps.
Finally, congratulations to Colin, obviously, and to Yoshiyuki for winning the overall, well deserved each.
Amazing final, and I’m also very happy Matt addressed my pet peeve: a hold is “dual texture” because it has two different textures on it. So calling the slippery part “dual texture” is false.
But please Matt, don’t start calling that slippery part NoTex, because slippery is also texture! Can’t have a dual texture hold with only one texture 😉
Hoooly crap man, that was epic! Dohyun Lee earned a new fan out of me on boulder #3. And man Jongwon Chon has so much fire! Freaking love it!! Grats to the winner too, looking strong af out there!
It’s always great to see JongWon in the finals. Love the fire he brings.
With the exception of the first boulder, I actually enjoy the setting quite a bit. The setting really challenged the athletes, and created a fairly good separation between athletes. Setting is difficult, especially for the WC level. I personally think the setters did a fairly good job 🙂 congrats Colin! A total beast!
Maybe the best camera work I’ve seen at a World Cup outside of the grand finals. Great comp!
The commentary from Matt’s guest commentator (missed his name) is so excellent for this round. By far the most insightful and analytical commentary of any of the guests. I really, really appreciate the insights he brings to the physical aspects of these climbs: balance, power, relaxation, body position, tension, etc. Please have him on more!
이도현 선수의 은메달 정말 정말 축하합니다~ 천종원 선수도 정말 수고 많이 하셨어요~^^
이도현 선수 잘 성장하고 있고 포기하지 않는 모습이 멋져요
천종원 선수 회복 잘 하고 있는 것 같아 다행이에요
두 분 모두 멋졌습니다
Great comp some amazing climbing and cool moves, setters did an amazing job for all except 1 hold.
Blocking the crimp on the 2nd boulder made it something only specific climbers might be able to top as climbers with thicker fingers won’t get as much out of it.
A different angle on an unblocked crimp would make it more fair by putting an emphasis on power and skill over a climbers finger size. They had a decent beta on it, should have been topped by at least one or more climbers to spread out the results more.
Climbing starts at 20:10
Watching the “Observation” period is so interesting and the fact that they share their thoughts with their competitors. I really love it!
Fantastic!! Best bouldering comp in a while, I’d say!
Although you two are not at all doing a bad job, personally I liked the changing athlete co-commentator in finals better.
At 1:18:25 whoever is in charge of the on screen clock finally decided to do their job and started displaying the count down timer…. You know only half way through the broadcast
Jongwons screaming face is too good, I can feel the excitement

은메달 축하드립니다 🥈
I feel like the boulders could have created a better separation between the athletes, although they were nice to watch. Great performance from everyone!
I feel bad for jong won, he looked super strong on every Boulder besides 3 🙁
What a sick round for finals!
Love the new problem intros, especially noting where the hold sets are from!
1:18:25 in case you’re still wondering if the clock will ever work
