Much deserved, the route setting and climbing was cooler :)
One of the best competitions I've ever seen. Really amazing and varied route setting that really allowed each climber to shine in different ways. It was incredible to watch. Also after the olympics, OLYMPICS, THIS IS WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK AND SOUND LIKE. This is what 5 star commentators sounds like.
Seeing them talk and hug each other puts a smile on my face. They are so happy for each other's success, not a lot of competitive sports have that. Especially where you are going against the others. Rubik's cubing comes to mind but there it's more against yourself, not the other.
Yes! I find that in general the women's routesetting tends to be better than the men's, because they set creative problems that require a blend of strength, technique, flexibility, and explosiveness, whereas the men usually have problems that demand insane levels of strength or crazy coordination dynos that leave us stuck watching everybody fail a thousand times on the same moves and we usually end up only seeing one or two tops and a few zones. It shouldn't be this frustrating to watch or to actually compete, it takes away from the excitement and epicness of the event and makes it boring for new viewers. It sucks when nobody can figure out the beta and the scores have to be determined mostly through attempts; essentially what happened in the boulder finals at the Olympics.
@@ruskater145 Reading comprehension is sorely needed here. No one is bored they are stronger, we are bored of the route setting where it's very uniform in what the hardest crux tend to be or the fact that everyone failed on the Olympics last boulder. I'd say the problems at Moscow Mens are pretty solid overall - but we could still use much more variety. The Olympics boulders were especially bad.
Natalia is climbing on another level. It will be fun to see her potentially challenge Janja. The star of this competition for me was Camilla though. What a performance, I hope this was her arrival party at the top level. I also really liked Andrea's body awareness in the semis, very impressive. Elena's high kick beta was also insane. Great competition overall, very nice route setting in Semis and Finals.
Hmm. In a couple of years, women's bouldering finals will probably look like high school ballet class. But objectification is a no-no, so it will all have to be a coincidence. Bouldering will be big business and on telly. The likes of Puccio, Klingler, Janja, etc: I suppose they'll need to find other sports to pursue. This is just the impression I get.
Climbing is such a beautiful sport! Such an exciting comp with such strong athletes and amazing route-setting! That chocolate must have been delicious!
Awsome Finale, and those were some suberb Boulder. Very entertaining to watch. Great Job from Matt as usual and i wouldn't mind Sofya commentating more often.
It was very good session, very colourful with different betas! Very well set! Sofya was really good commentator also, she should do that more often! FYI @MattGroom - the sound of the climbers was captured by pointing listening device. You could see a few shots of this guy holding transparent "plastic" satelite that is capturing/enhancing the sound waves from where you're pointing it to...
@@willmurrin9344 yeah, but I'm talking about consistency! Natalia is actually leading on total points for bouldering than Janja in 2021. she's been super consistent all year, Just like Janja has been over the years. there come some competitors with spurts of greatness, like this Italian girl, there are some French Climbers oriane, fanny, and a few others , But Natalia is the only one I've seen this year who can really challenge Janja
I forgot I had watched this! but feel the same good, maybe better! Brook is amazing on the first boulder, and Natalia is, yes, at another level here. Excellent boulder setting here, too!
I miss Charlie Boscoe! I am still waiting for a good interview of Matt Groom. Natalia did literally not say anything informative at the end... Still, Amazing finals and great route setting!
I really like Stasa. Just have to say though her height was a major advantage in the finals and not a disadvantage on any boulder. Boulder 1 she just didn't spot the high foot beta. It didn't look like it required that much flexibility. Who knows if her height would help in the finish dyno. Boulder 2: Height didn't matter Boulder 3 the jump was easier for her and she didn't have to stretch as far at the finish. Boulder 4, her wingspan made it easier to keep a hand on the sloper for the finish.
I don't think there are many cases where being taller doesn't help you especially among female climbers. For example Laura Rogera is already a really good climber and it makes me wonder how much better would she be if she were a few inches taller or the same height as Janja?
Commentators: Talking about how smearing on volumes is all about having as much rubber on as possible and using your whole foot which takes good ankle mobility, etc. Brooke Raboutou: Watch me stay on this volume with the power of one toe and pure stubbornness. 40:26 - 40:37 was some of the most broken physics I've ever seen ahahah
Actually the surface area should make very little difference in climbing. The two surfaces don’t really interlock, it’s basically all about the friction coefficient. Friction force = normal force * μ and all that. I don’t know why climbers keep repeating it. If it were about surface area they’d wear clown shoes (or snow shoes).
@@Mike-oz4cv There's obviously traction at play, otherwise dual texture holds wouldn't make a difference---it's the same material, so same coefficient of friction. But the lack of texture means no traction, only friction. Since the volume is textured, traction matters, and traction is about surface area.
Hey, IFSC media people, since you guys closed the comments because of _the issue_, I'm commenting here to ask you to rectify the thumbnails, titles and descriptions of the semi-final VODs. It says finals where it should be semi-finals and also it says russian where it should be english. Also, don't close the comments, here or instagram or wherever, you've addressed the issue, embrace the transparency
The company filming the comp decided to do a lingering shot showing off chalk handprints on Johanna Färber's butt. Again. The IFSC has issued an apology, which Matt read at the beginning of these finals.
In the same sentence, commentators argued that the moves are not max moves if you can do them with 30 seconds rest and than assumed still that these are max moves. Love it.
Janja will be back. She's an Olympic Gold Medalist. I think she just felt she'd gone very very hard over the last few months and didn't have anything else to prove this season.
57:54 It's double stiff shoes, she changed to stiff shoes so she could stand on small foot chip. Stiff shoes are better at that. FYI: You can tell by looking at the bottom of the shoes. If it has a single sole from toe to heel its stiff, if it has one on the front foot one sole around the heel its soft shoes
Some people are just losing their minds because a cameraman shot Johanna Farber's butt and they showed it as a several second slow mo shot during the broadcast. The people getting upset over it believe they were sexualizing a female athlete's butt, but I think the more reasonable explanation is that the cameraman saw two very clear chalked hand prints that she made on her black shorts and decided that that would be a cool shot to take and then production decided to slow down the shot and you could very clearly see two clear chalked hand prints to the point that you can even see the palm lines and finger joints. I think the upset people are ones that think no sexual shots of climbers should be shot and shown no matter what and other people who believe in nuance and context think that that wasn't the intent of the cameraman when they took the shot and that people are getting too upset over a minor thing. This same thing has happened to Johanna Farber before at another event and some people have said that chalked hand prints were also involved in that incident as well. So it seems much more likely that both cameramen who shot her butt were looking at the hand prints rather than thinking 'Wow lets take a nice close up of her nice butt'.
@@roybrown6683 Thank you! Interesting. It's hard to know intent in that kind of situation, but sounds like it was meant to show how chalked up she was, not her butt. The fact they slowed it down on a replay is a bit odd sounding, but otherwise sounds mostly harmless. Depends on the context. Thanks for the info!
@@Cdudesproductions Perhaps we won't ever know 100%, but I really do believe the chalk prints were the focus and that was what the cameraman and the production that slowed the video down wanted to highlight. I mean this is the second time it happened to Johanna specifically and with all the nice butts of climbers that cameramen can choose from to shoot, I find it hard to believe they would focus only on hers unless there was another reason to do so. Clear hand prints on dark shorts is something out of the ordinary and could make for a cool shot (and in my opinion it was an interesting shot when I saw it live) and I think that's the most logical reason for a cameraman to focus on that rather than on her butt when they could shoot the butts of many other climbers. If you want you can search the semi-finals bouldering video and see that even though they cut out the closeup, you can still clearly see from a further distance the two very bright and clear hand prints on Johanna's shorts while she's climbing.
Staša giving everyone chocolate was the highlight of this. True sportsmanship and they all definitely earned it
