I'm not afraid to say that Anraku will really soon be at Janja level of dominance in competition. This guy crush every boulder, every route so easily that it seems unfaire for the others lmao.
I dont know, in the mens circuit there is a lot of competition, Toby Roberts, Mejdi Schalck, Sam Avezou, Colin Duffy, Jesse Gruppee. I think comp climbing is about to explode in level because of it. But I do think Soratu will be the one leading.
so far Sotato looks unstoppable, but if Toby's bouldering gets a little better or if mejdi's lead gets a little better they can definitely give him a run for his money in the combined format
I really wonder about that, because it seems that kind of like Ai one of Sorato's big advantages is how light he seems to be, but if puberty hits him hard and he grows plenty of muscle granted he will be stronger but heavier as well I'm curious to see how that will play in his style
If you didn't comment on it I'd think my audio was messed up. I had to constantly up the volume and lower it. A bit poor definitely Extraordinary performance by Anraku though, what a beast he is (I think we were all hoping for a 200 but 199.7 is no mean feat, at all)
For anyone annoyed by left-right volume problems, you can try enabling mono audio in your phone or device settings. On iOS, I found it made things a bit louder as well, which was good because the volume was really low at some parts.
Agree on the sound, and the images were not much better, often blurred, and we could have had a better view on some specific holds (the lâché on M4, or the swing dyno on lead, for instance). But, great comments by Matt and huge perf for Sorato!!
Gotta feel for Yufei, his lead performance was incredible. But Sorato was just on another level, going 5/5 tops and if he read m4 better would've been perfect score.
The sound was a complete DISASTER the whole day. The routes were tricky, both at the ladies and the gents. So sad for Seo and especially Kim, I can only hope she can still have an olympics in her future. But congratulation for Anraku, that guy is unbelievable!
Back during the first half of the Women's Boulder & Lead Finals, I actually DM-ed Matt about the audio & camerawork issues (mainly sound) that was occurring. He said that the stream was covered by ru - Indonesian local company (as are all comps). So it's mainly their fault. I have an idea regarding the camerawork that I'm going to suggest to Matt & IFSC, but I want to organize thoughts & type it out first.
Big congrats to the winner! Recover from the Bern Championship, prove himself that he deserves to be the Olympian! Really hyped to the Paris Olympics with lots of talented young climbers and experienced climbing legends!
It would be so helpful if on the leaderboard we could see an easy indication of how many of the routes each climber has completed. An extra column or a tag by their name or something, like for example when Sorato has 50 points he should have a tag that says 2/4. It would make the leaderboard much easier to process since some climbers have completed more boulders than others.
That is why they use the points system in this format. It is minus .1 for every failed attempt on zone or top. So you can work it out, or just remember. Only 8 climbers afterall
The commentary was really fun and added a lot to the watching experience (at least while I was able to hear it), so thanks for that! I was literally on the edge of my seat when Sorato climbed the lead route. Although Yufei had a great round, it would have been very disappointing not to see Sorato in the Olympics. Now that the Japanese team has two olympic tickets for the men, does it mean we will not see Meichi and Yoshiyuki competing at all next year?
Sound quality was quite bad the entire time, unfortunately...levels were way off and I could barely hear Matt the entire time over the sound of the DJ. I've never had problems with it on any other IFSC streamed videos though, so honestly not a big deal. Thank you to the AV team and to the commentators for all your hard work!
IFSC sound guys need to get their act together! 😬 In this one we had announcers louder than commentators, feedback leading to distortion, fluctuating volumes and even random panning issues! The climbing, route-setting and commentary was great though, obviously ❤
I wish they show the bars on the scoreboard like before so that you know exactly which boulders they made top, mid, etc. It gives a much better sense of which boulders are difficult for everyone. Also I don't know what you're all talking about audio issues. I'm watching it on a fireTV and it's completely FINE. perhaps it's a mobile issue.
Man the guy playing with the sound completely botched it. At the start it was actually okay. I could hear Matt and the co commentator just fine. Not perfect, but good enough. Then for some reason, the whole production, someone kept messing with the sound and by the end of the Boulder, was it to hear the crowd? I don't know, all I could hear was that woman screaming on the microphone. The audio kept lowering and increasing randomly. Look, I just want to hear the commentary, if you want to even mute the other sound, that's fine. The sound of Matt was completely drowned out by this point. And it only got worse for Lead. I mean I am trying to hear what he's trying to say at 2:29:26 because apparently it's important, literally can't catch a word. Someone needs to be listening to the production itself and taking feedback from others because it just seems they were just winging it.
Ahhh... Would really appreciate a translation for Yoshiyuki's interview as well. Really sad that he won't be able to compete in the Olympics. He is my favourite Japanese male climber on and off the wall.
2:54:18 What did Matt expect him to answer? "Nah, I fought so hard but actually don't realy care about the Olympics." And I love how he answered very simple "Yes!" 😅 By now we know how it ended...one damn move short! But revenge in LA! Sorato first, Tomoa second! 頑張れ日本 🇯🇵 🤟
Hard to hear the questions but here's my guess: Q: something like how do you feel after the comp. A: Sort of regretful but also refreshed at the same time. Q: The boulder route seemed quite hard but you were able to top the 4th route.. (can't hear the rest) A: It may have happened before if we look back in the past but I hadn't really experienced not being able to top 3 routes in a row in the final round. I was confident that I could top the 1st and 2nd route but I wasn't able to so I was driven into a corner and I felt pressured about the possibility of being discouraged and not topping the last route. I was glad I was able to get fired up again and top the final route. Q: Did you feel impatient/pressured after the 3rd route? A: I didn't feel impatient but rather disappointed in myself. This season I was in good condition with regards to bouldering and was able to top the routes that I felt confident in. My performance at this competition wasn't clicking well and I was disappointed in myself. But like I said before I had decided that I was going to top the last route. Q: Something about the lead, couldn't hear the question. A: I often make mistakes like slips or my hand popping at these important situations in the competition. I thought to myself that I won't make a mistake this time and climbed the lower section carefully. Honestly, I wasn't too worried and the hold looked good so I jumped with confidence but the hold was closer than I had anticipated so I was surprised and fell. Q: Something about reflecting on the past 3 days, fighting for the Olympic spot. A: I was able to have a really good experience. Although I cannot participate in the Olympics anymore, I was able to gain a great experience for future competitions with regards to resetting my feelings/motivation in this sort of difficult situation and climbing under a lot of pressure. Q: something like were you able to climb the way you hoped? A: Honestly I wasn't able to climb the way I would have liked at all, but I was able to fight till the end so that was good. I was close to giving up honestly. Q: can't hear at all haha A: It may sound weird since we were fighting for the same spot but Sorato is someone who is meant to go to the Paris Olympics. I feel it would be wrong if he didn't compete at the Paris Olympics. Since there were only 2 spots (and 1 was already taken) in some ways I guess I had lost before the fight even began. So I'm not shocked about the fact that my path to the Olympics is gone. I'll try my best like always for the world cups and competitions next year and continue to fight. Q: can't hear at all but something about what he thinks the Olympic results will be like A: I think Sorato has a high chance of winning if he continues to grow like this. But as someone who has been competing for quite a while, I would like to see someone with experience like Jakob, Tomoa, and Adam, although his spot hasn't been decided yet, to show their will and perform well. The level of pressure is completely different so I would like to see the fight between the experienced climbers in that kind of situation.
Abysmal production quality from the local team with audio mixing, camera work, and commentating over the PA system. I'm sure the racket would be very distracting for the climbers as well. Hyping the crowd during the crux is very inconsiderate. International commentators were great (when I could hear them) though, no concerns there.
Quick question if anyone has an answer for me: aren't downwards jumps not allowed (boulder 4)? I thought routesetters could not make routes with downards jumps 🤔
Please like my comment to hide spoilers. Also, please give a huge medal to the head setters and the route setting teams. These people need top billing in a credits reel for their work at this event, and I don't even know their names.
No I believe 2 is the maximum per country. It’s just that the host country (this time France) can use up their host nation spot if no one else other than Oriane qualifies. The reason I know this is because Japan was host nation in the first ever climbing Olympic event in Tokyo (which included speed). They had 2 qualify (Miho and Akiyo) and they assumed because they were host they could throw in another athlete. Ai Mori qualified as well. But they were told no, they could only have a maximum of 2 athletes. They even went to court about it because the rules weren’t very clear. In the end only Miho and Akiyo competed in Tokyo. And they got silver and bronze respectively.
@@lill8537not really, they were told they could chose who to send, but everyone knew 2 spot per gender and in case no one managed to qualify then they get one spot as a host nation! Remember they were invited in France for the qualifications for the Tokyo Olympics despite Noguchi and Nonaka! Rules were not so clear then, and Japan wanted the opinion to chose in case one gets injured, then the IFCS came up with some excuses, but they were not clear from the start...well, nothing was very clear since those were the first games 🤷🏻♂️
Chalk on chalk actually makes it more slippery, because chalks, dirt and skin..yes skin gets on the holds. And their surface is somewhat like sandpaper, so you don't want anything on them that prevents friction. But you want your hands to have the most friction and no moisture(sweat) so chalk is applied.
I don't want to discourage these folks from putting on more comps, but they need to step it up. Matt and his co-commentator did their best with what they had!
Bro is dominant, some of the others had great performances and looked super strong, but they cant even be mad because even if they'd had perfect days they wouldnt have had a chance
2:53:00 99.7 for bouldering because of the 3 attempts on M4...I blame Matt and the commentator curse! He just needs to shut up! 😅 100 for lead because he topped the route! 199.7 total!
Sound was bad, but definitely miles more watchable than semis. I couldn't get through those at all... As hard as Matt try (nothing against him, I love the work he puts in), I think the lack of a co-commentator absolutely kills the vibe.
Sorota climbs one grade higher than everyone else. Not quite like Janja that's more like one to two grades higher. Anyway he will be favorite but he's young and has shown his mental game isn't always best. Impressive to see next level of climbing in the Men's finally, wouldn't it be nice if he could try to advance climbing outdoors as well.
Great sound. Crazy idea, hire someone who monitors the audio and the video feed in real time, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER GOD DAMN PODCAST DOES. Embarassing.
why is there such a difference in the quality of the stream? camera work and sound is quite bad but im also confused about why there is no scores or placements or timings? like no overlays at all :( but hej, dont wanna sound like an hater :D im grateful for the stream anyway!!!!!!! 🫶 hope the other competitions are in better quality again
To be honest, the lack of coverage all season combined with this, honestly amateur production quality really sums up the general approach the IFSC have had lately. You'd imagine after Olympics they would be pushing the sport, but it's been shocking since.
guy at the audio mixing board clearly had no idea what they were doing. ruins the whole production. kind of watchable for the middle hour, special, lol.
56:45 “Jongwon leaves the stage as his shadow follows him across the wall, desolate out there on the mats.” - some of Matt Groom’s finest poetry
Sorato's cute foot tap @1:41:17. Probably his happiest throughout the boulder round.
So endearing
I'm not afraid to say that Anraku will really soon be at Janja level of dominance in competition. This guy crush every boulder, every route so easily that it seems unfaire for the others lmao.
I dont know, in the mens circuit there is a lot of competition, Toby Roberts, Mejdi Schalck, Sam Avezou, Colin Duffy, Jesse Gruppee.

But I do think Soratu will be the one leading.
@@hotpocketbitchso many young talents. Climbing is in a big spot.
so far Sotato looks unstoppable, but if Toby's bouldering gets a little better or if mejdi's lead gets a little better they can definitely give him a run for his money in the combined format
Dont forget he is only 16 when he grow up i think he will dominate the game too easy for him
I really wonder about that, because it seems that kind of like Ai one of Sorato's big advantages is how light he seems to be, but if puberty hits him hard and he grows plenty of muscle granted he will be stronger but heavier as well
I'm curious to see how that will play in his style
So psyched by Pan’s extraordinary performance. Hope to see him in Paris.
His first name is Yufei, just in case you weren't sure :)
Yoshiyuki's attempt on M2 @58:16 is mind blowing. That finger strength..
Very poor sound management unfortunately... Congrats to Anraku! He deserves it by far, seems almost unbeatable
If you didn't comment on it I'd think my audio was messed up. I had to constantly up the volume and lower it. A bit poor definitely
Extraordinary performance by Anraku though, what a beast he is (I think we were all hoping for a 200 but 199.7 is no mean feat, at all)

The way is got quieter, and then suddenly got way louder kills me.
Such a legendary line to say at the end, Matt. "FLY, Sorato" 🦅
Thanks IFSC for having the audio so low that every time a UA-cam ad pops up it scares me out of my seat lol
I had to download an equalizer so its loud enough.
Audio for this event has been horrendous but thankful for the coverage.
Gotta feel for Yufei, his lead performance was incredible. But Sorato was just on another level, going 5/5 tops and if he read m4 better would've been perfect score.
Of course Sorato will go to Paris, of course
But also BRAVO to Yufei Pan!!!
My God Yufei Pan, what a fighter, got so hyped up watching him on the wall. Hope he qualifies!

Thank you Matt, difficult sound conditions, but you coped and didn't capitulate :)
woah, he came so close to a perfect 200 score! Also Matt is just the best
What a final, so exciting, the routes were truly amazing. See you soon in Paris Sorato!!
Almost unbeatable. But Toby might be also good to watch who is also both good at boulder and lead. Can't wait to see Sorato and Toby beat again.
Love the interview with Sorato at the end :D
2:11:40 Lead climb segment start
i love you
Wildly grateful for the coverage of this event. IFCS, can we get better sound?

Now that the Japanese team has two olympic tickets for the men, does it mean we will not see Meichi and Yoshiyuki competing at all next year?
Matt did a great job hyping the viewer, especially during Sorato's attempt on M4.
That’s right, no Japanese men will be in the OQS. They’ll still be at World Cups though.
42:42 The boulders begin to beg Sorato for mercy
glad to see the coverage, but my goodness it sounded like I was listening with my ear pressed up against a door....well....until an add came on.

One moment volume at 100%, next moment my speakers getting blown out, then volume at 100% again...
Sorato = male Janja, basically unbeatable.
This audio needs a remaster. It distracting that the stereo sound does not seem to be consistent.

I can't hear anything but I'm sure the commentary was excellent as usual
really wish the volume on was boosted for this video. It it so quiet then when the ads play i think my speakers are gonna blow.
10:37 climbing starts for bouldering
I wish they show the bars on the scoreboard like before so that you know exactly which boulders they made top, mid, etc. It gives a much better sense of which boulders are difficult for everyone.

Generational talent. ISFC, please hire some translators. It's unforgivable not to have them for a regional final

How many people get to go to Olympic per country? 2? Never 3?
why would one country get 3 and others 2 ? :D
I believe the host country always has one more spot available, so France could have 3 athletes next year if hey can qualify @@randomhoe40

M4. I thought downward jumps were against setting rules.
Just dynos. Feet landing first is allowed
why is volume so low?
Lead climbing starts at 2:13:00
Why do they wipe off chalk from the volumes but then go on to calking their hands?
Chalk on chalk actually makes it more slippery, because chalks, dirt and skin..yes skin gets on the holds. And their surface is somewhat like sandpaper, so you don't want anything on them that prevents friction. But you want your hands to have the most friction and no moisture(sweat) so chalk is applied.

wtf this microphone volume?
Insanely bad sound levels.
I had to turn it up to 90 to hear. Then every advert rattled the fucking foundations!
199.7 is absolutel mad
They made the jump too short for Meichi.
If only Meichi's parents knew...They'd have made him shorter.
horrible volume on this one
I think he is a robot
quick question but why Sorato got 99.9 on lead and not 100 ?
He did get 100 points on lead
Because of the attempts
2:53:00 99.7 for bouldering because of the 3 attempts on M4...I blame Matt and the commentator curse! He just needs to shut up! 😅
