Oh awesome, I love to hear that! I hope you and your grandpa are enjoying following all the Olympic Sport Climbing events. Thanks so much for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻
Can I ask maybe a dumb question? In speed climbing, why do they pair the 1st and 14th, 2nd and 13th, etc? Seems obvious that the 1st will most likely always beat the 14th. This was the first time I watched speed climbing and I was curious why they do that.
It’s similar to a sports playoff bracket. It’s a way to “reward” the climbers who are seeded higher from their performances. Otherwise there would be no advantage to the better performing climbers
Yeah, that's a good question, and I think a great answer already from Austin. I would add that it also is designed to get the fastest climbers into the quarters, semis, and ultimately the final. If 1st seed goes up against the 2nd seeded athlete right away, that means that one of the two very best athletes will be going home at the early stages of the competition. Keep the questions coming 🙂
I love it! The Indonesian athletes are so strong in Speed Climbing! I'll be rooting for Veddriq tomorrow... I hope that he does well in the finals 👍🏻👍🏻
@@augustclimbing the make proud this sport minor fans here but luckily every senior high school have the wall for practice, hope next olynpiade boulder and Head too
@@alexinvianto that’s so amazing that each high school there has a climbing wall. Now I can see why there are such great climbers coming from Indonesia! And yes, I would love to see an Indonesian athlete compete in boulder & lead in ‘28 👍🏻👍🏻
The level of sportsmanship shown by the male speed climbers was downright heartwarming.
Hey, Adam! Oh, I couldn't agree more!! The overall sportsmanship that is common to see in competition climbing is really great to have👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much I show my grandpa these vids to help him understand better.

Haha, I think you might be right!! It made it more fun for all of us watching to see her "struggle" a bit 😁 Thanks for your comment 👍🏻👍🏻
