When I first "got into" luxury handbags, I purposely bought a kislux . I wasn't trying to show off, brag, or pass it off as genuine, I just wanted to see if it fit my requirements and how it would sit with me before I spent money on the real thing (without the SA staring at you). Turns out, it didn't fit me. I saved a ton of money and time on returns. It made me very happy. It fit me perfectly.
Two athletes at the same time is a pretty terrible idea for both the spectators (constantly trying to switch view and pace and progress, most chaotic from at the first attempt) and for the athletes (you've got a woman trying to work through a complex slow boulder next to a dude that's trying a flailing step-up dyno). Also impossible for the commentators to give the attention they need. That said commentators did a great job given the situation, and crazy impressive job from the athletes. Setters hit a decent split/ratio too, which it always a super hard thing to do.
they do multiple climbers at a time for like... most major climbing events. it's not uncommon and if they all went separately the event would be ridiculously long
It’s a Cody Grodzki issue. The commentators mentioned he set M1. He’s consistently set boulders that are explicitly height-biased, and given interviews where he’s said he doesn’t believe that any boulder he’s set could suffer from this issue.
@@jeffreychongsathien Then explain why there are so many short climbers in finals literally all over the world? The first mens boulder favoured tall and the second favoured short with the stand up move. The women's first boulder also absolutely favoured short. If it was simply height is best then the best climbers would all be crazy tall like bball. Average height with a good span would be the best to have cuz you aren't disadvantaged in either tall or short boulders but have a better reach. You literally have pro climbers saying that tall is not better and expert commentators repeating this yet so many casual viewers think it's some casual cheatcode
??? Both women super knowledgeable, fluent in their explanations, focused on the action of the moment... WTF are you talking about?!? What would bringing a man change about the commentary? Plus these two were great at having a nice discussion about the climbs and passing the mic to one another and not talking over one another plus being able to catch a lot of action even with two climbers were on the wall at the same time... your comment is so weird!! Edit: you can hear a male voice during W4 if this is all you need to sooth your soul 🙄
@@sylvaingilbert6296 You're not wrong, but you have to notice my comment enfolded an awareness of its likely problematic prejudice-- for me, the absence of a male voice in commentary for climbing is glaring and undermines my interest in a small way. I realize this is straightforwardly a sexist judgment, and my reporting on it is mainly to draw attention to that element, not make a case for redressing it.
i love the editing from this channel, keep it up!
LFG
I think m1 is a great showcase of how male climbers really need to train flexibility. Cool set!
anyone else skipping right through the bullshit M2 slab climb? so crap that only one tiny dude got marginally close to sending it...nice
same for m3, one move no fun boulder
Love Zander's finish at 32:00 😅
Also OMG Chloe's top at 1:16:40, love it
Allison and Megan are verbal twins.

So much male slab here it’s crazy

not a fan of no holds slab balance problems
this is defiantly utah setting
this wall is terrible
Men 1st Boulder. Nice - but too morpho 😢
Climbing needs height categories, like boxing.
I dont know, it doesnt feel like one is clearly superior to the other. Some boulders favour shorter climbers and some favour taller climbers
@@stillprophet7529 It's asymmetrically in favour of tall climbers IMHO
@@jeffreychongsathien I see, that is why the worlds best climbers are tall

sorry to be so reductive, rude and maybe bigoted, but two women for a climbing commentatorship leaves a lot-- specifically a man-- to be desired.
