Massive props to Meichi, such a wonderfully deserved result. It almost looked like the setters didn't expect him for the finals. In pretty much every problem his longer reach was a slight advantage. Not to take anything away, still crushed it like a boss. All other competitors looked physically done by the end, where Meichi still seemed fresh.
Up to two Japanese athletes for each gender can participate in the combined Boulder & Lead events at Paris 2024. The Japanese athletes who will compete in the World Championships and the other qualifying events are basically selected by the results of the Boulder Japan Cup (BJC), the Lead Japan Cup (LCJ) and/or the Combined Japan Cup (CJC). The athletes who are in the top 3 of “B&L points” determined by adding the BJC and LJC results and/or who are in the top 3 in the CJC will have a high chance to participate in these qualifying events. The B&L points of the current top male athletes are as follows. 1. Meichi Narasaki 1,000 2. Daiki Sano 805 3. Tomoa Narasaki 690 4. Ritsu Kayotani 610 5. Yuji Inoue 545 6. Kokoro Fujii 495
Tough day for Tomoa. I think the slab was the most surprising as he could get his hand to the top with ease and speed usually not seen on a slab, but just couldn't get the last move to stick somehow. If he only finds that top he moves into 2nd place. Fantastic performance from Meichi and wonderful effort from all of the competitors on a really hard set!
Tomoa was convinced he couldn't reach the top on the slab in balance off the left foot. I think he made a complete error in judgement since his right hand was already on - he only needed to match. Basically overcomplicated it for himself! But he came off the wall and was immediately discussing it with Meichi, saying he couldn't reach it that way.
This comp is more brutal than ISFC, or they just have different states now. Guess we'll find out when they compete in ISFC if their form now is the real deal. Can Ogata compete in bouldering too or is it based on rank in selecting who they send.
Yoshiyuki Ogata can compete in boudling World Cups by the IFSC status based on the 2022 ranking. It may be difficult, however, for him to compete in the boulder & lead event at the world championships which is the first qualifying event for Paris 2024 unless he wins in the Lead Japan Cup later this month or he finishes in top 3 or so in the Combined Japan Cup in April.
Meichi said he felt awkward being interviewed by her, she congratulates him, then says he was the only person who looked like he could top M4, asks him how it was. He says he knew he won when he got the zone but that he feels sorry he couldn't finish the boulder properly. She asks which boulder stood out to him, he says he got lucky with the boulders as they suited him well but that he is particularly glad he managed M2 because compression is not normally his strong suit. She asks his resolution for this season, he says he couldn't take part in world cups last year so couldn't show his skill, and looks forward to showing it this season. She says good luck for LCJ and world cups.

Those gambas on Meichi’s slab #3 were grating to the ears 😂

Amazing setting. The M3 slab is so fun! It’s so hard tho. So impressed with meichi’s 3 tops
Amazing comp for Meichi and Futaba, and well deserved. They crushed it!
Meichi in good form!!

The move at 57:19 is 🤯🤯🤯
Points for creativity lol
Divine arrangement
選手セッターの皆さんお疲れ様です。毎年アツい戦いが見れて嬉しいです。
課題もめちゃめちゃ面白そうだし、今回は全部タイプの違う課題ですごく考えられてるなと思います！
男女で分けて課題を設置するようになったのもいい変更だと思います！

I love that Akiyo interviewed Meichi, I only wish I knew what they were saying 😊

@@mayawitters thanks so much 😊
48:13 これ止まるのヤバすぎ😅
今年は生配信がないですか？
Wow, what an incredible performance by Meichi! Well done on the win!
where is ogata?
Unfortunately he didn't quality. Only managed one zone in the semi finals which is shocking as we're so used to him cruising through all the comps.
昨年は女子決勝課題の殆どの課題が若干リーチ目のコーディネーションで、それまでに国際大会で実績のあった森秋彩選手が2つの課題で想定ムーブを起こせすらできない事が物議を醸したが、今年は男子決勝課題の設定がやや不公平な采配だったかなというのが、率直に見ていて出てくる感想。第1課題の最初のムーブ、第2課題のボテから黒カチ取りと保持時の身体位置、第3課題のゴールマッチ、第4課題のゾーン取りが見て取れる。
Ogata didn't make it i see :O
Nope, he had a pretty painful semifinal. You can also watch it back on this channel.
自分用

Kokoro...0T0Z😭
He had a really bad day
実況の人はボルダリング知らないんだろうなぁ
この解説者、なんなの？オリンピック出場選手を忘れるって？！
1:20:00 応援の女性うざい
The shouting women are so annoying, for god sakes.
課題が酷い。
国際大会仕様？知るか。
んなもん必要があれば派遣選手が自分で練習するわ。
忍者になりたきゃSASUKEやれや。
BJCを愚弄した内容。
あ、選手に文句はないです。いい登りでした。お疲れ様でした。
言うほど？コーディネーションじゃないと無理なのって1課題目だけじゃないですか？
最近のジムもコーディネーションばっかでウンザリよね
逆に、理想とするBJCを教えていただきたい。今回はすごい良課題揃いだと思ったのに...
