Danke!
I never thought I would watch a full bouldering competition, but now I’m addicted to this.
same here lol
same here;)
Same
I don’t know why it’s so addicting
Lol same here 😂 there is something about these climbers that's really inspiring and I don't even do anything remotely like climbing 😂
love how much fun they're having w the comp, jongwon and jernej bromance is pretty cute
I think this is such a lovely sport! You just want to root for everyone. "Hold on! Come on you got this!"
I have never been into sports much, tried tennis, football etc. And left after a month or so. Been bouldering about 9 months now and don't see myself stopping, lovely atmosphere at every wall I've been to. Everyone helps when you're stuck!
23:33 "That was a very roundabout way of not giving me an answer" I'm fucking dying over here. Send help.
Miho is absolutely gorgeous.
So is Alex.
miho is more so
This is why I love climbing. Not just for my own personal amusement but also as a spectator sport. Besides the amazing level of craft and athleticism, the sportsmanship and comradery the athletes in-between is really touching and heart warming. Whether it's at a world cup, the world championships or a high level exhibition event like Rockstars the participants all seem genuinely happy for each others successes. I worry a bit about what influence the Olympics and especially the IOC will have on this really rather pure sport of ours...
Pure sportsmanship thts what it.
Doping and discreetererer doping is what it'll do
@@maltheri9833While the olympics may do some harm to the climbing community spirit by increasing egoism and competitiveness, I'm not too sure that we will see much doping in climbing. I mean, among the most valuable skills in climbing comps are beta reading, dynamic movement range and coordination movement skills, micro technique (slight variations in body positioning), flexibility and finger strength, and you can't really take anything illegal to improve these - maybe finger strength a bit, but that's mostly about joints and tendons rather than muscle, idk about how effective doping is there. In the overall body strength domain where doping is more effective, after a certain threshold there is not much to be gained anymore for climbing, and all professional comp climbers today are at or past this threshold. I'm not saying there will be no doping, but it will be less popular because there is less to gain as in other disciplines involving more endurance and overall physical strength, and the bit of doping that occurs will put far less of a disadvantage on clean athletes as in these sports. Rather, I'm afraid that similar to ski jumping, we will see some unhealthy dieting going on as a low bodyweight is key to success in climbing, an issue that has been and to some degree still is a problem in the sport, which is dangerous for the competitors and also sets a bad example of a model athlete. Also, what we will definitely get more of and I am tired of already is commentators talking about cheetah volumes and which types of climbing shoes the athletes on the wall are wearing and how it's basically 100% this specific shoe that's getting them up the wall, to make up for the fact that there aren't really any breaks in climbing comps that can be used for commercials.
That "fistbump" OH MY GOD LOL!!! I didn't see that coming at all.
I honestly love the community just as much as I love the sport itself. Amazing stuff!
Thanks for the upload.
Amazing competition. I'm not a climber at all yet having so much fun watching this.
I love how they look around after receiving a single shoe. "Wtf am I gunna do with this?"
So cool, excellent! Miho 💪💓
they should think about split screening the two competitors (male and female) so its more entertaining and doesn't make one more important than the other.
Do both compete against each other if yes why do they have different walls
Thank you, you've done a great Job.
Wooww that was the best comp I’ve seen yet!
I love how the spectators react when getting filmed for the second time :D
Really good event, always quality route-setting at adidas rockstars it seems. So nice to see Miho win and apparently recover completely from her shoulder injury, was hard to see her struggle hard in Innsbruck. Jerney and Chon are so cute!
I like this kind of finish, it is like a head to head match play between the top six climbers...
7:50 Tomoaki Takata straight up used his head on the wall 💪
Dude women here look stronger than men, look at those arms!
thanks for sharing.
That was freaking awesome. So much fun to watch!
23:15 This commentator is my favorite
never new this was such an interesting spectator sport
So cool.
Perfect competiton I think
thanks for the upload! what hapend with janja? she didn´t competed?
omag these womens' shoulders r amazing
so cute and sexies
Love Mino Nonaka # From Indonesia
jongwon chon is a beast
Bravo
Anyone else notice 1:21:40, right when the commentator dives into the hard shoe and it skips to Alex finishing?
yeah
You forgot to list this crucial moment 1:32:56
16:16 DAB
Yeah!!
great coverage!!! show the IFSC how to do it would you lol
Очень круто!
The whole competition was very challenging and technical and than they pissed it all away with a crappy short/speed final...
Miho had the opportunity to be the GOAT but then came Janja
So I've just started climbing, I've been doing V2/V3 routes. Watching this I'm just in awe! What sort of V-grade would these climbs be?
CueMaster 147 Differs from gym to gym but I would guess 13 and up!
v8-v10
@@infamoustatic wat....
Im getting sweaty palms of this
The filming gets really annoying for the finals why don’t they show the zoomed out view where you can’t ACTUALLY see the route and the holds?
You used a double negative there and it left me fucking baffled as to what you're referring to.
Asia selalu terdepan klo manjat2😂
Outstanding Climbing. Abyssmal product placement. That sucked a lot of fun out of it.
Why did only Chon see the footswap on M2? Confusing. Seemed like a standard technique and logical
There is seeing it and doing it even Chon had some difficulties pulling this off...
The crowd: Jongwon Chon: Are you not entertained?
JONGWON CHON = NEYTIRI OF AVATAR... KOREANO AGRANDADO, 1:35:00
How is that a foul start by Miho Nonaka on boulder number 1?
You have to hold the designated starting blocks with both hands and feet for a short moment before going anywhere else. If you look closely you can see them marked with tape.
Did Kruger not have to have two hands on that start hold in the super finals.?
시바 졷나 멋지다잉
where is kim ja in ?
Jongwon chon deserved the win here.
🔥🔥🔥
23:33 lol
The male commentator sounds very much like the one used for the Olympics and it was horrific because his high intensity commentating was in stark contrast to the silent/empty climbing venue and very somber/subdued athletes (especially the women’s comp where there was only tops by one athlete). Imagine his commentating in a totally silent venue and no audience applause; that was the feel to the Olympic climbing.
ㅋㅋㅋ꿀잼이누
52:44 noises from hell
amazing japanese
"So political...CANADA" Hahah
1:12:39 I think I missed something there
MrPointness wdym
CoD and Nintendo fanboi I think he’s talking about when she matched her hand to her foot on that small hold
milkman3399 oh k
I'm thinking it might've been something that was said.
Dude women here look stronger than men, look at those arms!
Men boulder, 3 time top lose by 2 time top, what a rules!
best player would walk with their hand
1 position, he is not worth he didn't finish 3rd one. Actually you guys must give the 1st position to jpn he is the one to finish 3rd
The women climbers are a little bit bigger than man... in particular the back. WOW
I think the perfect climber is a universal thing. Women need more strength, so the climbers bulk up. The men need more flexibility, so the climbers keep small.
Смотрю и потеют ладошки
Bleh...the rules are stupid. How was it fair that the guy who finished ALL boulders lost to the guy who FAILED the third boulder?
The rules have to do with how many boulder problems they completed successfully in the least amount of tries. The winner flashed the 2 first boulders placing him ahead in terms of points and automatically passing him to the final boulder. He then decided to keep his strength for the last one which was a calculated risk and payed off for him. That is down to the climber to decide wether its worth the effort if you already know you are passing to the final boulder.
@@swiftink You actually didn't watch it at all or know nothing.
The boulders were only really qualifiers for the last final and that ones just a speed comp
Keeps things interesting for the audience and the competitor. You can still win if you're not disqualified and ace the last speed climb. Keeps things unpredictable and engaging instead of us knowing the winner by the 2nd or 3rd round.
@@MrH2O1998 Just unrewarding for the climber don't you think? Jernej got to be feeling like he lost. I think it is bad for the winner and the second place, I would get a bittersweet taste if i was Jernej or Jongwoon
the asian top all the problems but still losed but he was better than the other guy that won
Petra Klingler... is that her real name!?!?
Why Not :D if youre not overusing the american accent on it sounds normal
darkbasex3 Not the way it’s pronounced but the meaning... it’s like her parents named her knowing she would want to rock climb. Petra is a feminine given name. It is a feminine form of Peter, which is derived from the Greek word "petros" meaning "stone, rock". Klingler is derived from the Old German word for ravine or gorge.
@@ryugo7713 wow thanks for opening my eyes on that ! rock solid
@@ryugo7713 Also, Petra of course being the name of the famous city carved out of a rock face.
청종원 형! 나도 언젠가 국가대표가 돼고말겠어!
It's a shame that the K tape people are fleecing the climbers with pseudoscience. We saw this in the Olympics a few years back, but the athletes finally realized it was a scam. Hopefully, we won't see cupping next!
Is that the tape there using ? What is it " suppose to do "?
K tape is a CrossFit thing and we all know how gullible they are (pull ups anyone 🤣🤦🏻♂️). . CrossFit - the Scientology of the fitness world
@@joshuahughes9191 The placebo effect is the only ''medicine'' that works for EVERY ailment that afflicts homo sapiens ;-)
1:32:56
Good concept but the final is way too easy
do they practise the route first?
Fyodor not in this comp. I think the only big comp they do practise before is the legends only one. These boulders are far from the hardest climbs these climbers can do. Just made easier so they can do them in a try or two
@@firefelll Ok, thanks for answering! I think this is the best way to do comp, together with the fact that you can still finish an ascent while the timer went to 0. It's the most entertaining way at least haha
Fyodor true. It’s pretty good to see how they work it out in the moment. Always cool to see them climbing at their hardest though too
thank you mr cameraman... you screwed this with your "creative" angles...
I was about to turn this off then Miho came out.
Super final was way too easy for the men. Should have made it brutal.
Extremely bad coverage of the women. Half the time, we don't even know they are even climbing until the male falls off and, well, THEY have to show SOMETHING!
Ikr. Smh

I got secondhand embarassment from Jonhwon topping ceremony. He is so great tho
Hello Adidas . New Market ??? IF you "Ambassadors" want climing really rocks - contact me please . We created your "Sport " as a winter training . Can you imagine what a laughing thing is this for us . CLIMBING IS ON REAL ROCKS . This is BABY STUFF . Didi
Lol kid sit.
Stop talking about shoes! Shoes shouldn't be the focus of commentating. Want to talk casually about it between climbs, when you've run out of relevant things to talk about, sure. But yakking about shoe and rubber types at best no necessary, and at worst detracting from the skill of the climbers (laymen new to spectating the sport being given the impression shoes matter more than beta by the announcers). Sean, amazing commentating as usual.
how can you say such a thing? we need to do somethign for the female vievers as well and obviously women only watch it if you have shoes being one of the most discussed topics... :D jk
what is best shoe?
28:49 did she rip her fingernail off or am i tripping?Entire fingernail is bloody and the one next to it as well
nah, just red nail polish.
Since when is the word “beta” pronounced “beeta”?
Since the greeks invented it? It's not "baeta" as i hear a lot of people say.
Actually, we English speakers pronounce many of the Greek letters incredibly wrong, interestingly Pi was actually pronounced 'pee' in ancient (and modern?) Greece. Many/some (not sure how many) of the Greek letters have even changed pronunciation over time such that the alphabet of ancient and modern Greece would sound quite different from what I gather. As for 'Beyta' vs 'beeta', it seems to be an American vs British thing (respectively) but in Greece the correct pronunciation is actually 'veeta' believe it or not. Long story short, pronounce it however you like because you'll be probably wrong no matter what you do anyway.
miho nonikia is hot
where is the mute button for Sasha? She's a worse speaker than Trump! Liam killed it as usual, and Sean did a good job with quality over quantity. Really cool looking problems from the setters.
jlehm 1982 his pronunciation of “beta” is cringe worthy.
@@semmtexx BEE-Tah is the correct pronunciation, the American pronunciation 'BAY-tah' is a corruption that makes no sense in ancient or modern Greek. Your ignorance is cringe worthy.
pathetic camera angles. For sure, no one wants to see climbers climbing from below.
I actually wanted to see the women climb, but whatever I guess 😒🙄
Exactly.
this is some of the worst comp setting ive seen
asians dudes and white girls
The brummy commentator was a little annoying at first. But he really carried the other two. They were pretty awful.
Can’t stand this commentator
@@timdolinger1352 He needs to stop shouting. He has that sort of "never been filmed before" voice that so many KZheadrs have like they don't realise they have a microphone.
2:30 He's just not strong enough. Needs to hit the gym and work on his strength. Guy can't even push his bodyweight up using his arm and his leg. 23:45 That's how someone with good strength does it.
The panoramic east controversly reply because scooter longitudinally agree versus a quiet daisy. relieved, noiseless gallon
Asians do have a lighter bone density so genetic wise it's a bonus in something like climbing.
The soggy patricia covalently complain because piccolo osmotically shock than a efficient squid. condemned, tender tense experience
I’d say Sean or Liam should have told Sasha she’s a shit commentator, but then she would have just cried misogyny and tried to get their sponsorships pulled...
love how much fun they're having w the comp, jongwon and jernej bromance is pretty cute
