Men's Boulder & Lead final || Laval 2023 

He made sure there was absolutely no doubt, what an unbelievable finish.

Like to hide spoilers 😊

Yannick fan ever since that time he spent his last minute brushing the holds for Adam. Dude seems so chill and steady

Adam's move on M4 should be called "tree-bar" because its a knee-bar with the legs in the tree pose from yoga

You both are such great commentators, thanks for adding insight and tension. Loving Shauna's knowledge.

So happy for Toby but man my heart goes out to Adam. That foot slip has to hurt

11:25 Boulder M1 Introduced 12:19 Climbing Starts 2:11:45 Lead Observation 2:24:08 Climbing Starts

It was super exciting to have Shauna in the commentary box. Very insightful.

I'll never get enough of Shauna and Matt they have such flawless chemistry

Excited to have these back on RU-vid in full length! Thank you! This can only be good in terms of spreading the climbing enthusiasm.

Brilliant to be able to watch all the semi-finals and finals. Great coverage and commentary

2:36:28 is when Yannick Flohé loses his glasses, the rope knock them out and you can see the light flash in the glass' lenses as they fall 😅 Glad they survived that drop lol

I can't imaginen being in Alberto's shoes. Those 2 emotions he felt after Adam and Tobby, felt that but he definitely has a chance to qualify.

Over the moon happy for the men's winner! But this format is just heartbreaking. As if there shouldn't have been silver and bronze. Watching outstanding athletes almost crying having to stand on this podium was upsetting. Seems like either just 1 winner and no podium or all 3 get tickets would have been more fair.

Shauna doing a great job❤. Please invite her more often!

I love that Toby seemingly kept looking at his Dad whilst saying how much he had helped and how thankful he was

LOVE that Ondra chalks up while reading the lead route xD

Please make Shauna a permanent cohost. They vibe so well and she adds so much to the commentary.

Big congrats, Toby! Such a sweet moment with his dad. After all that pressure in Bern, I'm so glad to see him bounce back and bloom! Heart goes out to Adam for sure.

The interview at the end was really nice. It felt like the conclusion of a great epic.

Just a good hour in but I just want to share my fascination with watching climbing - even climbers I am not rooting for and are not up in the scores much bring so cool moves at times that you just stand in awe! 😯😃👍

What an intense finals!

toby absolutely dominated this comp! excited to see what he has in his future

I didn't know half the climbers, I was very pleased to see all of their performances, outstanding work

Ohhh i am soooooo happy for toby 😭😭😭 really haaappy. Oh boy! I am really excited for the videoblog of this comp 😍

I love the commentry, both Matt and Shauna give great and insightful comments. I do wish thought that they would refrain from spoilers. Sometimes I can't watch the competitions live or in the right order and then they casually drop who had won the woman/man competition earlier on. :(

What a final🤯

The commentary is brilliant and extremely entertaining!

Nice Flamingo Bar Adam🔥🔥

I'm up for Alberto but Toby.. that was a magnificent top out. Amazing athletes!

Impressive and beloved Oriane and very impressive Toby, congrats to both and thanks to Shauna's return

That finish! Wow

You could feel the tension in the commentary box, Matt and Shawna truly delivering

Tremendo lo que escalaron!!!

Oh no vi venir la posible victoria de alberto... Lo amo! Estas competencias para clasificar a los olimpicos son tan difíciles de ver, por que ves la increible mejoria de todos y es doloroso ver que aun asi no triunfen.

A huge well done to Toby Roberts. Amazing performance and well deserves his place in next years Olympics. 👏👌

No camera in iso. Come on. As a spectator I have no interest in intruding on the climbers in their moment of concentration. Not everything needs to be reality tv.

Albertooooooo!!!!! ✊🏼 Tendrás tu oportunidad.

Superb!

What a finish 🎉

Sam dominating boulder in front of his home crowd, and 3:07:24

Can we get post analysis. Sounds like an absolutely amazing idea!

The only way to make the ceremony even more cruel for second and third place, would have been to present them with a gift card for a eurosport+ subscription - or to wherever they stream the olympics. I mean, what were they thinking?

much better now 😊 🙏

Inspiring stuff Toby!!!

Incredible performance by Toby. Really incredible, was on my feet watching his lead climb. For most of the time Adam Ondra couldnt keep up with the top 5 this year, probably due to his focus on rock and also hitting the 30 years. But still a pleasure to watch his interesting solutions for different problems. Regarding setting: Men finals were partly worse than the women. M4 was a real nonsens. There is no way a setter or anyone else made the final move. Not even isolated from all the other moves. The problem wasnt weak climbers. Physics was the problem there. Great final for this season. Cant wait to see the qualification events next year.

2:12:23 is so clean how they do the moves similar 😂

can we do only one climb at a time? :(

3:10:03 A figure-nine !! Dang! First time seeing a figure 9 on sport climbing!! Kinda interesting that the commentators are also not familiar with figure-9 and commentating it figure-4.

Can anyone explain why Sam was in third place?? He and Adam had the same score. What’s the rule regarding same scores in this point format??

Lead starts at 2:23:50

Adam Ondra on MDMA :D best mood ever in competition probably

Is there any video of the beta for the top on boulder number 4?

5:19 Adam already chalking :D

i climb with glasses and i use ROKA, really hard to knock em off even when going for big moves

Please add more info on the description including the commentators

Why didn’t Adam get 3rd due to count backs? Didn’t Adam come out of Semi-finals higher ranked than Sam Avezou? They both scored a total of 132.9 so why didn’t the count back kick in? What did I not understand about this?

why is the camera always at the wrong angles? Just show the basic front one all the time please

Toby and his dad litterally made me cry

1:03:56 - i hear what i hear and i hear it.

Love how AO is chalking up even during the observation & introductions 😂

Now, that's the way to close a final.

what a fukn beast

Where can I watch the panamerican comp in santiago?

What gym grade is the lead route? Like 5.15+???

Sam and Adam got the same total score. Shouldn't Adam be ranked higher based on countback? Or do they factor in time on the lead wall into total score (which would make no sense in a combined format)?

Congratulations Toby! 🥇

♥♥♥♥

Why can’t they do a table with athletes on left and boulders as the column labels. Then we could see how everyone did in comparison on each boulder

Why was Adam the 4th and Sam the 3rd, when they had the exact same amount of points?

Good on you Toby

Bad camera😢 cant see their feeds

Love shauna in the commentary Box. I Hope they make it a regular Thing :)

How come Sam Avezou was given 3rd place? He had the same score as Adam Ondra, but Adam qualified higher. I thought, in the event of a draw, it went to countback

please please have both athletes on split screen simultaneously when both are climbing, like they did at asian qualifiers

Sam had some really great beta on that first boulder - kind of similar to Mika on the slab in semis. Everyone else was going for the final hold once they got the side-pull, pulling into and up the wall, but he was able to actually push a bit down and away from his foot to get more comfortable on the side-pull before statically reaching the top. It seems like that theme comes up a lot in bouldering - can you, within 4 or 5 minutes, both follow your years of climbing instincts and also not get trapped by the thought of needing to get directly to the next hold or up the wall. Super well-set move

once shauna really figures out to dial back some commentary, she’ll be perfect! love her insights

Thank you for the commenting 😊

I feel that the previous members of the podium should auto qualify to the olympics given that they are active in the year leading up to it. Maybe give them some minimum requirements for qualifying like top 3 at 2 world cup events in the year prior. Made that up off the top of my head but you get the point

3:06:11 when you stop it and look at the pic , why everyone except Adam has shoes ? :D

War Toby! Also, I quite like the scoring system.

Spoiler: Janja Garnbret wins

2:36:28 Yanninck drops his glasses :S

33:21 Sam Avezou est clairement au dessus avec cet enchaînement + finish, la relève !

43:13 - Just look at that right hand muscles. At first he looks skinny, but seems he is extremely strong.

🇬🇧

Can someone explain what Shauna is talking about when she says "because Oriane qualified here, another female French athlete can qualify next year". Does this in any way mean that only one male French athlete can qualify next year even if they have a quota for two?

When can we watch Women's Finals?

토비 완승!!

43:15. look at that forearm size.

it's sad the competition was split in two boulder, less interresting and comfortable to follow

1:03:56 - 20 fucking points

2:36:30 yannic lost his glasses

Wait these Events are not behind a paywall anymore?

The commentators keep saying about the orange tension based crimping boulder as being "basic" and "old school", but reality is these proffesional atheletes are failing to complete it, and these competitions should be about diversity of skillset, not necessarily who is the most dynamic and "springy" boulderer. While no one would want to see every Boulder like this, as it would mean other types are missing, there is no reason this type shouldn't be in the mix and being supported when set if at an appropriate difficulty, to make sure the best all around boulderer is winning these competitions. If you can't complete this style and others can, well you just aren't "good enough" then!

I could do that

Doesn't Alberto qualify as olympic champion?

Matt is funny as hell

🤪👍👍👍👍👍

Why is Yannick Flohe not at least using sports glasses which hug the face more tightly?
