  • The gym I went to uses an app where I could log in the boulders I sent and then does a ranking of your 10 hardest sends. I wanted to see if I could get to the top of the list in one session...

      1:08 you are supposed to start with your hands at the two holds with the white paper markings. Meaning those are the first things on the wall you are allowed to touch with your hands. Then you have to establish your starting position by not touching the ground for approximately 3 seconds. Only now you can move on with your hands. In competition boulders the starting position of all 4 limbs are dictated 💟🌌☮️

      Also a boulder problem is only really considered to be topped when touching the top hold for at least 2 seconds!

    And don't worry, everyone has "complaining" days, and you did great; it's a good video. So much better to see and learn, instead of just watching people flashing stuff.

    Very nice watching this vid! Good job on those flashes and that mature mindset! I always find it so hard to leave a project when there is a small grain of possibility to send. But especially if you really really just love to climb alot of different things you gotta move on and return when you actually want to project hard and improve yourself vs. going for bigger volume, more styles etc...

      @eSKAone- 9 місяців тому

      In the second boulder problem again, you didn't establish the boulder. Can't watch this. I wouldn't mind when someone is just bouldering for recreation/fitness but you are bragging and "crushing" a leaderbord.

    • @sofya_yokoyama
      @sofya_yokoyama  9 місяців тому +5

      Sooo first of all, the start for that first boulder is actually where my hands are (if you look closely, you’ll even see a red tape showing the grade). And the white paper markings you see on the higher hold actually have pictures of feet on them to show where you need to have your feet. Second of all, as you said “in competition”, there are 4 tapes and yes you can only use and touch those holds when starting a boulder. But this isn’t a comp, it’s a public gym and they have their own rules on how to start a boulder which I have totally respected. Third of all, as being someone who actually competes on the ifsc circuit, there’s no such thing as a 3 second starting position and the “holding the top hold for at least 2 seconds” doesn’t exist anymore. All you need to be is stable ;)
      And as much as I may be “bragging”, holding the start positions and top hold for 2 seconds are absolutely nothing compared to the actual moves in the boulders. So yeaaahh. Glad you enjoyed the video :)

    • @theobenjam
      @theobenjam 9 місяців тому +3

      Hello! I work in that gym and she started exactly as intended: The white markings you see on the top hold are for the feet.
      As a coach I know it's something we often tell beginners to help them understand but there is no such thing as a "X seconds" rule, and I think Sofya knows it well since she's competing at the highest level (international IFSC circuit).
      Finally, it's pretty common not to match the last hold for long but just touch it when you're not competing and know that you controlled it. In her case, it is pretty clear she did indeed control it.
      I hope this helps and will allow you to watch the video 😉

    • @eSKAone-
      @eSKAone- 9 місяців тому

      ​@@sofya_yokoyama You are wrong, often times the starting holds are some kind of a filter. Also fatigue adds up during a boulder problem and you just save your finger stamina by rushing from the bottom with momentum. What you did at the second problem at the start would not be considered established at a competition, rightly so. (If you search there are even rules inside the fag of the app)
