Agreed. Gold looks locked but I'd say Pilz, Raboutou, & Mori are just too close to call; Bertone will have to dig deep on the rope wall to hang close. AND would love to see one of the long-shots surprise, too. Final looks exciting for sure and possibly epic. Actually, so many so fun to cheer for will feel worse for 4 thru 8 than the top 3. G/L to all.
Thank you so much for these coverages! My country only shows the final events so it's great to get context from the semis. Grossman has a knee injury unfortunately. On Hannah Morris's channel you can see her being belayed by her coach even on a bouldering spraywall (so she wouldn't take a nasty fall) 😕 Sad that she didn't get to give it her absolute best!
I followed the live score today during the lead climbing and I'm honestly really bummed out and surprised that Miho didn't make the finals. Nevertheless she ROCKS
Stunned neither Miho or Natalia made it. Stunned the latter and really disappointed the former. We love Miho! ;-) (She'll always have Olympic silver tho.)
Surprised that Grossman won't be in the finals. I thought that she was the only climber that had a decent shot of beating Janja. I figured that she could get 90-100 in bouldering and 70-80 in lead.
Not really, Natalia is not as strong in lead climbing. She's very good in boulder. Nonetheless, boulder and lead needs to be separated. It's not fair to combine two disciplines.
@@29chhangte Good points. But I still feel like Natalia at her best--and with an easy lead route--had a shot at pushing Jana. I don't feel that the same can't be said of the rest of the field.
Genuine question, why the world record holder is Bronze, but Gold and Silver were slower than Bronze and 4th place? I didn't get it. THanks for answering!
The speed finals are head-to-head to head races where only the winner of an individual matchup goes to the next round like a soccer tournament. Samuel Watson lost his semi-final race so he faced the other semi-final loser for the bronze medal, while the semi-final winners got to race for gold and silver.
Dunno other national streams' coverage but the US' very frustrating. Not even half the climbers' attempts shown - not Nonaka, Grossman, or even a couple who earned Final 8. Able to real time track the IFSC webpage's tabular scoreboard until another sport's - diving - coverage completed and switched to climbing, more than halfway thru the semi by then.. Ugh.
Correction: Julian David is not Australian, but Kiwi! Sorry, New Zealand ❤
You just be careful

These videos are great for someone who doesn’t have access to any live Olympics. Thanks for the comprehensive recap!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I have access in the USA but we only show the American athletes. So these vids help me/us too!
vpn your way to australia or canada. both have free olympic streaming. and replay. so you can go now and watch the things you missed.
Honestly both the men’s and women’s lead climb was INSANE so many unexpected moments and the cut off to 8 climbers was brutal
Wow imagine having the world record and getting bronze.
brutal
World record by 0.001s!?!
🤯
Gold medal is clearly well deserved, also.
Honestly, wow your pronunciation of the names. Hiiiiighly appreciate that!
Trying! Tomorrow is the reveal of my newly researched pronunciation of Sorato Anraku's name so be sure to tune in :p
@@walrusclimbing hahaha looking forward to it!😂
Yeah, every time the commentators say Sio or Say-oh I cringe 🤨 Finally, you pronounced Seo Chaehyun's name correctly. Alé~
Brilliant round up as usual 👏 the points difference between Jajna, Jessy and Brooke is insane - Janja on top form 👍
What a great womens comp. You'd think the domination of Janja would spoil it but in fact it's really close between the rest of the field.
I'm loving the women's side of things too!

Your commentary and breakdown are absolutely top notch! Thank you so much

You're welcome! She would've been up there with ease if she was 100%!
Thanks a lot for wearing Indonesian shirt. That was really unexpected.
best pronunciation
These are my favourite reviews from the olympics of any sport! Thank you :)
Thank you so much!
Hey just a slight correction Julian David is a Kiwi not an Aussie.
Oh damn ur right! I think I said it right in day 2's vid but I must've brain farted today! :/
@@walrusclimbing brain farts happen :) i only picked up on it being a Kiwi myself.

Emas Pertama🇮🇩 thanks Leonardo, menyala abangku🔥
Let's go Ai! Ganbare!
I'm leaving to the climbing gym right this second. I'll show them!
The blocker in that top hold is so mean
I think it's actually meant to make the hold better? Not sure if it does though
Julian David is from New Zealand. Not Australia
Was going to say the same thing
Thanks for commenting! Corrected it in the pinned comment. Sorry, Kiwis!
3:32 australia??
Yeah brain fart! My bad :)
Baby wake up, new Walrus climbing update just dropped
Bummed Grossman didn’t make Finals.

@@29chhangte climbing is still young... With enough viewers, hopefully we'll see it grow as a category
FYI u call the nz speed athlete Australian

@@walrusclimbing Thanks for answering! so it depends only on that one-time performance for each athlete. understood now! THX!

Stunned Grossman's early slip and Nonaka falling outta the top 8 too. Good for Seo, Oceania, & Erin McNeice to earn chances to medal.
Jesse Pilz looks REALLY dialed-in. Confess expected her to make Final but not podium but that call has, "not aged well." ;-) Good for her.
Yeah u can never count out Pilz! Thank for watching. Do yourself a favor and get Peacock for the last two days! They stream the whole thing in the US.
Hsve it. Tuned intried every way think of ...
If you’re trying to get the pronunciations right, do the French “r”s like how they pronounce 😅
Never.
First First! :D
You win gold!!!! 🥇
