And finally that's it for Innsbruck, what a spectacular competition we had ! Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already done, I'll be so pleased 🙏 See ya !! 😎
Hey, it's one of my first times watching a climbing competition. I was wondering when do they start the clock, is it when the athlete's 4 limbs are off the ground? Because the last girl had only 3 seconds left on her clock and I felt like the clock was started a couple of seconds after her last foot lifted from the ground. I might be completely wrong, of course, so if someone knows when does the clock start, I'd greatly appreciate it if they'd let me know! Thanks
I think they started her clock as quickly as the other athletes' but there is one thought I also want to share: Janja is in general a pretty fast climber. Especially in the female field. And she is very good with time management. Usually she looks down at the clock when she rests to estimate when she has to get going. It's pretty likely she knew the format here was "If I top I'll win gold since the semi final score matters when it comes to ties, not the clock." If the time was the relevant factor in ties, she most likely would have rested less. Which would have made the movements more risky, of course. This time vs. risk management is something I often saw with her.
@@miristtotallw Got it, thanks for your input! I thought the same, if the athlete knows they just got to win, they can take their time and climb at their own pace. If she had seen she had 3 seconds earlier on, she would've made her move at that time, that makes sense. Thank you again!
Congrats to janja and Ai toping but honestly i think Ai should be the one getting gold here. The semi/quali rounds should only be considered for tiebreakers if in the final they had both toped at the same time. I think only the final round should count for the final round and here we had 20 sec difference in top. Not my rules thought but look at any other sport like football, no one takes the semi final into consideration if they tie in a final like thats kinda logical to me but not so much logical here. Non the less they all competed wonderfully and i wish them the best, just thought this rule doesnt quite make sense to me and is confusing
Don't agree, sure it would be nicer for the public especially the ones who are new to climbing, but I think it's fair that the climber who's done overall better during the whole event wins.
I think I have actually seen a lot of comps where the one to top quicker got the gold, nevermind their position in semis. Maybe it's a wrong memory, but I think there were also comps where Ai lost bc she was slower than Janja, not because she did worse in the semis.
God damn this was exciting. Ai Mori and Janja really put on a show here. Incredibly well done by both!
I agree, It was fantastic show 🎊

Insane performance from ai mori. She deserved the gold in my opinion as the faster climbing to make the top.

oh honestlty I'm not very sure, but I think the clock start when the climber start to climb yes
@@savie591 thank you!
@@CrazyMachinator No problem !

Thank god for Ai Mori. The boulder final wasn't that exciting. :)
Can someone explain me why janja won over mori ai even though ai finished quicker?
First tie breaker is the previous rounds (qualfiier I think) score and the second is the time of the climb
Janja came first in the semi-finals, qualifier and Ai second (just). So the count back result means she wins even if Ai tops.

@@iris5789 exactly. it isn't a speed competition, it's an endurance competition. the competitor who climbs the furthest wins, including all rounds.

@@miristtotallwthat was because both of them topped in semis
