I was curious how the two disciplines would stack up against one another with their own unique scoring mechanisms. After the Bouldering semis on Monday i was afraid the lead scores would be much higher (and thus more impactful), but the scores turned out to be quite equal.
A very tough early move(at 12 points) in the lead climbing ruined a few competitors chances at succes, but unfortunately that’s the way lead climbing is.
Insightful data, not a great chart. It’s are least missing the beautiful part.
Tomoa didn’t qualify? That’s quite an upset.
Even though a similar average was achieved by the field in both bouldering as lead (about 34 points as calculated by someone else), it stands out that the top 8 in lead managed to qualify for finals. Main reason is the crux move at 14 points in the lead route that caused 6 climbers to fall early and score very poorly for this event. I think ideally such crux moves have to be avoided in this combined format and the difficulty of the lead route should increase gradually. Easier said than done of course. Hats off to all climbers and setters.
can you do this for the women too please?? (once their lead semi is done tomorrow)
Amazing, didn’t know I needed this.
Shouldn’t this just be a scatter plot?
Tomoa Narasaki not qualifying is quite sad. Pleasantly surprised by Alberto tho after seeing him strugglr in the bouldering section.
