Nordic Boulder Championship 2021

uh what are our thoughts about uh the men's final oh we see the names here oh let me see well i think also like the the two other finnish guys i don't know them it's very interesting that they yeah it is like yeah destroyed the qualifications came out of nowhere yes with uh i i can't remember if it was axel or the other guy uh come coming coming in with the jeans on i think that jeans on yeah is going to be i believe immense number one yeah okay and i can uh i can i can just talk a little bit about them because i've been up there and uh i gave them a good look yeah yeah i did them of course made them with my sneakers on no so this is a running start actually i don't know if you can see that right now but it's a running start up to an undercling so you have to run and do like a little bit of a parkour move into the start hold then there is some pushing on the large volume there in the middle and then going with your left hand as opposed to the pocket-like hold and grabbing underneath and going for the last two holes something like that absolutely but remember guys if you go to the climb a long app you can check out the model uh on your own however this is the women's number one as well yeah i think this is this woman's number one just to be just checking to be sure about okay so uh this is a more of a powerball boulder as a start for the woman um when we zoom out maybe we can see that it starts like a starts in the roof parts you you start sort of with the with two toe hooks on the latch on the starting hole down there and uh and you grab that little ball on the with your right hand and i i suppose you swing your feet around the corner and then there is a jump in the end i think that's my uh impression of it looks like it jumped to the uh ends there here we go this is going to be the finals of the seniors how pumped are you robin i am actually uh pretty excited now and we're seeing hannes and uh cena down there two huge competitive i mean sort of a legends in the norwegian countries both of them and um i'm just really curious to see how it goes on oh absolutely but robin we didn't even really get a chance to talk about the format so can you quickly run us through yeah so so now we're in the finals so uh every of the six climbers goes goes in onto the same problem and then we go on to next problems so this will be much more focused than what you've seen earlier on because uh we only have to focus on two problems at once you can see that cena getting started on the uh sort of quite physical problem and actually hannah's is already on his way oh but han is just holding on here taking his time but with that foot slip obviously you can't spend too much time on this boulder they are very physical yeah so um pretty uh interesting also to see hannes he didn't really do a a running start up on the wall he he actually took one of the footholds and did a jump up to the first uh to the undercling there so he didn't need to do the um running start um i'm sure some of the other athletes will probably do that i didn't see how far uh tina went uh on the first try here but um i believe she got to the zone hold so okay i think she might have been able to get that so far but cena and hannah's both some really strong competitors all in all you know hannah is just super strong has so many medals on his uh or in his resume on the side of tina uh she's a senior branch medalist in the lead um clubs here in uh the whole nordic regions like she has so much experience and just look at her creeping her way up here once he got that he looked it looked so much better yeah and another heel just to help her get up there now she has to try and see if she can get that foot around once again so my feeling is that this is a jump but i'm not sure maybe she can actually just like do a toe hook or something like that uh so she needs to get in a position where she can actually release or can can do the jump um can can get a jump going from more bent knees i suppose so hennis is up again and is once again back up on that boulder already has to show thanks first attempt i think a physical problem like this should should in a way play to his strengths it's almost like he's a little bit rude climbing here uh now doing a match [Music] [Applause] which was probably not the intention of the root setters but it works and i think he's going to get it now come on hannes that is such a hard pinch he's doing there yeah that's it whoa really strong performance here from henderson i believe in his second attempt as well so a really strong performance overall here i'm not sure if there was uh one attempt we didn't see but uh maybe yeah two or three attempts at all in all for hannah so a really strong start here from uh our uh our male competitor from sweden and i think he actually sort of uh broke the beater there or or did something they didn't intend a few matches there martina giving up right there saying no more no more and with 22 seconds left she just pulls the process no more i don't have enough power and i don't have enough time to do this yeah so a strong first round here from our competitors tina not getting that top unfortunately but and it's getting the top definitely goes to show just how strong all of our competitors are because i mean even though tina didn't get that top she definitely gave it her all and he looked strong on her attempts looks like it's not the kind of problem you want to do too many times and she sort of decided that she couldn't do the shoulder shoulder press there uh she might as well just uh save the energy but oh yeah really impressive with hannah's there just uh finding his own way up there sort of a little bit rude climbing switching hands doing a match um but it just tells you a little bit about the level uh in the qualification that you that the first guys out here is uh hennis and tina um absolutely and now our next competitor here from denmark will be gaia chuffed alongside alexi mikola from finland gaia is our only danish competitor in the finals is one of the really strong danish female competitors both boulder champions in the youth uh circus and now here climbing in the junior scene alongside those seniors as well as the format is a mixture of juniors and seniors gaia is going to have to give it her all to take home a medal as you can see alexi finding his way here on men's number one as well so you can see uh up on the men's there um they're in a quite an awkward position uh when they're pushing towards the volume other than the roof there uh quite often it's extremely hard on yourself your back or this is where the strength comes from in that situation um yeah and uh yeah gaia she's she actually missed the hole there on her first attempt it's not really being precise enough come on guy yeah come on guys you got it gets that first ball jumps out for the second one but it's a really long move and gaia isn't the tallest woman in the field so i think if she can get up there she's got quite a good a lot of uh shoulder strength should be possible yeah skya is a super strong competitor so that is definitely something that can help her quite a lot as we zoom on to alexi right here trying to fight this compression right here that is a pocket and it's just really hard to get around that corner because you are being pushed out and away from the wall so hannah's found a way to to get out there without sort of uh jumping out there in it's all blind uh he actually got there now guys once again pulling up but yes did find a way to get over there but it just looked like such a powerful bump and maybe we can see alexi do that as well but forehanders it just looks like such a powerful bomb and i'm not sure that it's something that every single athlete can do but obviously some of the bigger guys who talk about frederick who talked about anthony might be able to do it uh once they come out because i mean hennis he is a really strong one but anthony and frederick they are one of those big uh favorites of this whole final as well a good attempt there from gaia but um i think one issue for her is that uh she is as she said not very tall so her swing is quite big yeah because she's just totally stretched in the roof um so going from the uh roof section and over to that shoulder like press is is quite far for her and the swing is really an issue so she needs to maybe see if she can get the toe hook very uh more more so more longer maybe get it get another toe hook where she can uh get a little bit less of a swing but also she's had many attempts now and it's just surely it's such a physical voter yeah only 30 seconds left to go here from both alexia and gaia it is a very physical boulder but guy right now is fighting for that zone if you can get that one that is a very good start to her yeah but you can just see how yeah she's getting more and more tired getting to that zone definitely takes a lot and with only 15 seconds left she is jumping on for another attempt but you know robin we've talked about this before it is something that just takes a lot of energy out of you and you need to be conservative about your energy in these types of competitions i think it's uh it makes sense for her to maybe give it one more go because you do in the in this final format you have a little bit of a longer break it's more than five minutes maybe sometimes it's half an hour even between the bowlers so she's gonna have a lot of resting time so it's fine but yeah uh i think maybe some i thought i did think that this boulder it could play to her strengths but it was uh the swing was just too a bit too much i think yes unfortunately for gaia but our next competitor will be [Applause] i'm not going to try and pronounce that last name i'm sorry for butchering that last name who's that but uh she is from finland and then our next male competitor is going to be leo coming in from norway so uh some really strong competitors all in all as well ruse has slimed since she was six years old right she now is a gym manager of a bouldering gym so okay quite a long time let's see what you can do right here nice a good start to this bowler already getting the show now let's see if she can transition from here that is a really strong healing definitely giving her a lot to work right there [Applause] okay so a huge effort there and uh she looks like she's considering whether it's worth giving this another try because she did use so much power there but okay it looks like uh the gym time paid off really there and and the great solution she had with the matching that little round ball there so she could sort of release more comfortably uh to the shoulder press yeah that looked like a really uh nice a beta from i'm sure that she can give it another try but definitely have to take a break because that was a lot of effort so there you saw the running start that we talked about it looked cool i don't know uh maybe it saves a little bit of energy but yeah nice start there so it's just uh shows it's possible to just run up there and when you get up into that position that also looked quite good here from leo if you could have just reached around the corner and gotten that pocket i think that might have helped him transition onwards from there but swapping over to rusev you can see now she is just brushing it she still has one minute and 50 seconds left to go she's already had one really good attempt she knows what she needs to do in order to move onwards from there surely so she just needs more energy yeah and it makes sense to uh maybe just give this boulder two tries for her she knows what she needs to do and the best things he can do is give it one more try after a nice rest so um should be able to push in the roof part and uh now we're over to rosa yeah back to rosa here coming in not with that uh baser that she had before where she had both hands on that so she actually changed it up yeah it looked like it was doable as well she just always swung right there so had so she fell out and then back over to leo once again there's a funky start isn't it it does look super nice it does look super cool but apparently leo is having a bit of trouble getting around to the stone hole so if he needs to press onto that one just yeah yeah i'm pretty sure he needs to press and i'm pretty sure that's what hannes did as well okay [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right i am being told that apparently rosa has an injury in her right leg so she has a hard time making a heel without really really so on a boulder like this it doesn't really help you a lot when you have to put that there right that might be why she jumped off from the first attempt could be yeah and now leo he gets it there that isn't a great attempt maybe we can get can move the picture now yes but he has doesn't have any more time the timer is up he has to jump off but he does get the zone hold it might be very important so he got the zone well it could end up being very important so far hannes is the only male competitor that has gotten the top on their boulders so obviously that does mean that it puts a lot more pressure on everyone else and if we do see some of these newer competitors coming in here uh the next one being axel linfus and ingrid kindly harken so if let's say actually doesn't get to seoul then suddenly you're going to be seeing uh alexi move up and while you're talking he did a straight up jump to the undercling it looked super powerful but you know sometimes you can do that he was definitely one of those guys who could do it [Applause] actually fighting ford right here can't quite reach around the corner and get that one but here we go with england england kim jong-un getting onto the big ball getting on to the zone now putting up that right foot pushing yourself around this is looking like a super good first attempt from her robin yeah is this the flash attempt maybe we could see a flash would be really nice to see a flash of this boulder it has looked doable so far but all our competitors have had a hard time she can't just reach out up uh up there she has to jump over here oh kindly hugging with a flash off the first folder oh my god that was such a good flash from her english getting high fives all around so uh ingrid is still uh juniors right i do believe that england is coming in from the junior side of things yeah yes she is coming in from the junior side of things she isn't old enough to be a senior so that is interesting to see that we do have a junior currently leading the way in uh the senior final yeah uh just a quick recap for everyone who didn't watch yesterday uh the reason why we're having both juniors and seniors in the same final uh is that we had a mixed qualification where they were timing on the same problems so some of the juniors are getting to behind alongside the seniors as you can hear them just a crowd going wild here as we do have our male competitor excellent force getting this zone now trying to see if you can get out to the last few holes as well swapping around with his hands robin this is uh a bit complex i suppose i think he needs to reach underneath like that is the idea um [Music] and that is so powerful from axel that is so powerful come on come on last move [Music] oh my god unfortunately not actually ended up spending so much time and so much energy on that boulder he still has one minute and 25 seconds left to go robin so if he wants to he can get another attempt but surely you're here surely he should just wait until uh he's got 30 seconds or something like that and just go for it there absolutely the question is um that was half the energy is like 45 seconds enough to regain energy it makes a difference but uh but um yeah i don't know but that was just such a good effort there and uh and this guy uh he's just impressed us also yesterday he came from out of nowhere and he has got the jeans on as well still yes i remember robin talking about how uh axel is just he's climbing in jeans it's not sports shorts it is just straight up jeans so obviously that doesn't limit your move super powerful but he is getting onto this boulder with 30 seconds left to go he knows what needs to be done now moving out into the pitch come on come on come on come on axel uh not enough power to pull himself all the way in there and that is going to be the end of this uh first men's problem here 10 seconds left and a huge uh applause coming in from the crowd here for axel meaning that our next competitors will be anthony goldstein and suniva i have it [Music] so maybe uh yeah we haven't talked a lot about anthony but he's won the nordics quite a lot of times and um yes we briefly touched about it uh that he is the senior gold medalist uh he's won three times yeah 2015 16 and in knight and he act he has actually won more than that because i remember back in the days he used to win before 2015. i've been in the competition where he won but he's a very dynamic climber and we talked earlier about sort of intuitive climbing or very analytical climbing and stuff like that and i think he is uh really good at feeling his way through the problem and sort of not being all too analytical about it but really sort of intuitively uh finding a way and finding momentum he's really good at finding momentum and while we're watching we might see a top here [Music] getting a flash as well we haven't talked a lot on sunnyvale but and sunita is also used to winning here in the senior side of things 2009 going straight to the push and through there and that is a good start from him and he's also going for the match no he's not deciding to swap things around oh actually we'll go back to that match yeah going with his left hand underneath let's see if we can get out to the pinch yes he will getting out to the pinch come on come on and he does it and that was a flash i believe that supplies as well so a huge and fast ground for anthony and for sunima we haven't talked a lot about studio but just to briefly talk about her resume she is the defending gold medalist because 2020 obviously was cancelled so she won the senior gold medal back in 2019 uh silva in 18 and then uh bronze in 17 so she's only become better and better and surely she is one of those climbers that we are expecting to be on podium tonight but just uh watching anthony there uh something i've seen for now in quite a few years um i think he he doesn't hesitate a lot when he's on the wall it's also a matter of confidence and explosive power so i know he knows he he can make these moves but he really doesn't hesitate a lot and that also makes it really efficient that is going to be interesting to follow him throughout the night but now we do have uh frederick cilacios coming in here from sweden and hannah mitchell coming in from norway as well super super strong start there from slashes already in to the zone getting that undercling as well so this could also be a flashback throwing for touhou that's just to transition over there and it looks like it works really well and even does it again that is extraordinary that is definitely a different uh beta than what we've seen so wow the total definitely helps frederick a lot that is a super super good feature he found there yeah huge toe hook held to quite a lot but now checking in here with hannah still uh she this is her plastico as well she hasn't quite jumped up quite yet robin but she is just uh killing the confidence to go up there and miss unfortunately very close but you she did now uh jump from the same hole there is these two large balls you can jump from and she jumps from the from the lower one the um and i believe that was the same that sunni about it so i think that's the solution so you can actually build momentum because you've got a little bit more of a space to move in when you want to do the first jump or the last jump so i think she's just she might just take a break now and knowing that you should be able to do this yeah yes and as we talked about er earlier on obviously uh hannah knows that this has been topped probably yeah she's probably been there she could probably hear that so that could put on a little bit of pressure yeah so going back to that pre-show we did talk about about hannah being uh the favorite to win this final obviously not getting that flash growth does put her down in terms of uh ranking having having the flash go for some of the other athletes definitely could stem up right now and let's put more pressure on to hannah but just getting into the second goal would definitely improve her chances as well considering uh doing the jump from here and but you can see here on your screen how uh it's hard candy harden uh who are currently the ones having chopped this one then we have bruce and cena uh having gotten the zone gaia still haven't gotten the shown so she is definitely falling behind against these female competitors but if hannah can get the top she will stay competitive but without a flash it still puts uh suniver and ingrid up at the top now hannah has 50 seconds left to go so she has taken a break uh in between that second goal this is her third attempt and she really really needs to talk he needs the top and and this is actually a bowler that's at least the first part really plays to her strength this is just hannah being a really strong and you can see how how well she does the first part here she goes quite easily up to the shoulder press um having already done that three times now [Applause] but it's just a matter of the jump there and finding uh the right position of your body to do the jump yes 15 fairly fairly low down unfortunately that means that hannah will not be able to chop this first boulder with only five seconds left to go we are going to get uh the second boulder uh for the men and for the women up on the screen before we continue [Music] three guys uh chopping their roots uh holder okay so we're on to the next uh so this is men's number two yeah and what you're seeing here is a boulder that might be a little bit more like uh about finger strength at least it's part of it the last part you can see there's there is those crimpers and there's this large disc on your left side which is totally slippery on the top but there is this hole in where you can actually uh stand them so the idea is to uh in the start you uh you jump up to the large disc there you you probably do a tow hook and the heel hook at the same time sort of squeezing your feet down on the two black volumes there um and onto the crimps and here the women's which is more of a partly sort of compression and quite a long a long bowler with quite quite many moves on but there's uh a boulder without any feet there's hardly any feet on it so it's it's about sort of holding on to those uh holes there and uh and sort of twisting your body a few times sort of cross over core i suppose and it says it's uh not high risk it's fairly intensive it's not that complex so this is a little bit of a physical bowler uh to splitting the uh the uh the the the competitors and i think this would actually also be a builder that should suit hanamipu so maybe she can sort of um yeah regain her position there i quite like how they put the crocs at the very top so i feel like we probably will end up seeing some fingery crooks that's up some very uh frustrated faces on the women once they get to the top and if they fall down then they're probably not going to be in like the best mindset if they fall down from the very top no so um yeah quite a good view you get here from the uh on the crimps there those two half moons they're pretty good crimps but there's far between and you need your and as i said the only foot you have there with a bit of friction is is down in that hole so it is a risky problem it's finger strength and it's yeah what is dependent i'm not sure what uh what uh what that means i think it does it depends on you having multiple points of contact on the wall that you just you can't rely on just having like a single hand or a single uh okay okay well sorry uh two hands you always need to have like multiples yeah that makes sense and now we are going to be continuing our final ride here starting once again with tina hopsas and hannes puman [Applause] i think this uh might also suit hannes uh he is uh as we talked about her originally uh a bill i mean he's a root climber obviously also a boulder now but he uh he did so much root climbing in his uh youth and have been to so many world cups doing root climbing and been very successful at it um that would in theory also mean that he should have quite a lot of finger strength and endurance and this problem should suit him pretty well then yeah well hannes is taking his time trying to figure out how to start this bull obviously he's seen it before yeah but he's just trying to get back in the mindset of how to do this exact one but starting up there jumping up getting that start yeah so now he has to release this it's not an easy release but you just see how the muscles they activate here in hannes's bag so he needs to get a toe hook with his right foot which he did there so he can just keep onto the wall and then go for the next sprint come on hannes and that is a close crimp and that's another probably another closed print there these are really small but positive edges and we can't see his left foot unfortunately but i think it's down in the hole and this is such a good effort for a manus and a very very long their hand is just forced to fight for this one you can't just do it uh easily but he jumps up gets that top hole and there's a flashlight from hand doesn't even hear a crowd going wild yeah man it looks so hard you must give uh applause to hannah's because he definitely thought going after that second last one that was just so strong and i mean you can just see uh as we just talked about that his uh sort of like root climbing almost came into play that and i i think i always saw him uh shaking out in one hand at one point but this is definitely a problem that you would like to do the first time so apparently uh there has been some mix up with the female number two and then [Music] they might have swapped it over in the very last second but right now we are seeing uh tina haves us over at female number two a different one that we just introduced but you will get an introduction to have one later on as well yeah this uh this problem i've seen that before um and uh it starts with uh on the on on you can see the start holes there and you need to go around the corner and almost go go into uh what do you call that a um um yeah where you can sort of push on two sides at once into uh yeah yeah just the opposite way and then sort of slowly push push towards the large gray structure there and um and then there is some thumb catches on the uh on those yellow um three beam on the on the on the highest one of those three uh parallel ones and then uh get up to the crim and do a mantle there's some angle on that one yeah so it's a really strong one you need a lot of power so i'll be able to do that a lot of balance a lot of um sort of full body sort of pushing in the start and then the end end out with a mantle and i think that's going to be a little bit of a difficult swing when she gets the next hole yep um but looking pretty uh pretty calm there i'm not sure if she had a try before we uh she probably had a child too before we went over to her but remember ladies and gentlemen that the hole that she is holding now is the short haul it is not the big great one but this is looking super good for her 15 seconds left to go super powerful moves you made there like a canvas move all the cameras more training coming into play there okay unfortunately tina will not be getting more than a stronghold this time around as the clock is running out two seconds left to go and that's going to be the end of tina's second boulder i'm quite excited to see how many male competitors can follow up on hannes's uh i mean flash go on that second male yeah and he looked super uh also pressed uh it was just by by a martin that he did it so um and imagine if you get that far and has to do it again absolutely that's what you need to consider on this boulder right so there is just shots and advantage that he did it in the first try on the boulder like this um yeah so super good effort from uh from hannes and this might this could be uh quite a crucial crucial boulder it definitely could it could just separate all of the men as a lot of the men they did end up getting uh boulder number one so if either everyone finds this easy or finds it super hard then it could definitely just go to show that this could separate them alexey mikola not harness poo man are on the boulder right now you can see alexis fighting forward but now getting onto that very crimpy point yeah and he did had a really good pizza in the start with the heel hook man but um trying to match the stone hole you don't want to spend too much time on the wall because it will just drain you he falls off and now he's walking over to gaia tough from denmark gaia the only female competitor so far should not have gotten his own sorry she definitely needs this one to stay in the loop and stay competitive for a spot on holding looking uh quite comfortable by now and i think if she gets to that uh mantle this could be a good folder for her our last danish competitor so uh we might share a little bit for her that's okay right absolutely we definitely can we are a bit biased up here in the commentator box but moving over there slowly getting in position with two minutes and 28 seconds left to go she has figured out what to do to get to the stone hold now she just needs to control it as well yeah i do believe there there is uh two thumb catches on the uh hole she just fell off from uh where you sort of can can put your thumb on at the with the thumb catches it definitely makes it easier for gaia to get into position guy up one of our uh boulder champions of uh a few years back in the uk is used to these kind of folders and uh gaia comes from my gym back in oh so i i do see gaia practicing quite a lot she is one of those uh super strong voters back in all as well so yeah i obviously going up against everyone else from the nordic region does put a lot of pressure onto her but i i know what she is capable of okay and she is super strong but now once again getting into position to get to that zone meanwhile out of screen and lately jumps back on to his boulder after having spent around one minute just resting on so i think she needs to switch her feet and that she makes that work [Applause] and there is actually a tiny hole on top of this uh of this uh of the large hole yeah you can kind of spot it right now dryer is holding one of them at the same time also another one just a little further to the left this guy falls off but times that means we can swap over to alexey real quick he's fighting for the top reaches for the top but will fall down so unfortunately i think that might just be there for alexi he has only 34 seconds left to go uh and it is a boulder that takes a lot of power and he did already get the zone so he is kinda in the clear already off of this boulder so um 20 seconds left for gaia it's still possible actually but uh she needs to move quickly you can see this the uh the time up on the left side and it's proving to yeah five seconds left she knows that she has to move that she doesn't have a lot of time jumps for it but unfortunately i do believe that will mean that guy does not get a stone hold on this one as well i'm not sure we will wait for confirmation on whether i think i think i think he gets the zone there yeah sort of i'm not 100 but i think that's the stone [Music] we are waiting for a confirmation on that it will come up uh once we get further into the female uh second round as now leo kitten bruh will be our next male competitor going on to uh uh the men's bowler number two they are also a super strong driver um has so many gold medals in uh the bouldering nordic championships won back in uh uva that's right back in 2015 uh on lead won back in 2014 on boulder and also won in the bouldering in 2015 so just a super strong one i can't wait to see what he can do right now we're checking in with bruce who is also just a super strong climber we saw her on women's number one just doing everything she can but she does have an injury in her right leg which means that it is super hard and super painful for her to do the more advanced moves with that right leg yeah so just struggling to find the balance there and also struggling to just find that little chip for your left foot looks uh super super sketchy the bruiser giving it her oh meanwhile leo just standing looking at the boulder taking his time trying to figure out what went wrong on his attempt but we're checking back in there with so you can see putting on her feet especially back over to leo leo and we are going to bring good attempts here [Applause] but he has to release that tow hook at some point and it is looking to be really hard for him to release that toke and keep his balance [Music] what's the next step from here rob and once he has those two holes how does he effectively release that uh yeah nothing else to do then release it and uh and try to sort of fall into your left uh sort of also for i mean bend your yellow knee uh to sort of slowly take off the momentum but yeah but i'm not sure if uh if maybe he can release it before that um because he is fairly stretched and uh doesn't look to suit him well to to to sort of take a swing at that point um so uh yeah that was what it was it said in the start on the graphics what did it say uh that it was very dependent dependent and that's what we're seeing here right and finger heavy yeah i think finger strength but also this uh keeping uh the toe hooks there while moving on it's just yeah um but that looked like a much better attempt from him uh matching that uh banana moonish kind of looking hole looked like a much better strategy from him one minute left to go however rusev still not making too much progress here on boom stoppage yeah but it also just shows that hannah's uh he just hit it really well in the uh first attempt there and you could just see how how much he just gave it everything and um and and and paid off because i i seriously doubt that he would have done it the second time to be honest absolutely he spent a lot of energy just getting onto that folder you can see right here as we're checking in with the men that uh everyone else who's jumped on to the male problem so far just had a really hard time just even getting to that so let alone getting to the very top so yeah a really hard one on lol as you can see bruce are getting frustrated but 15 seconds left to go it would be really nice for her to get that zone it would help keep competitive we did see just a few seconds ago gaia did get that stone hole as well so she is also still in the race but time runs out that is the end of rusa getting onto the second one uh apparently we're gonna get the graphic here for uh women's number two as well so uh talk us through this real quick yeah so uh the technical part we've seen that in the start getting around the corner really balancing um again sort of pushing towards the gray volume there and i believe that we can't really see the small holes on the top there but there are small chips put onto the uh to the uh holes there and uh ending it up in a yeah a tiny tiny pinch almost a screw right basically just to make sure that everyone can see that you have yeah in the top row so it's a mantle up there and you should be standing fairly comfortable i think at the end yes as we do check in here with ingrid kim de haaken who's already on her way around this red around the corner making sure to now press herself in to that one she has 3 minutes and 20 seconds to go so it's basically her first attempt getting that screw on now as well let's see if she can control the swing because that is apparently something that a lot of our competitive competitors have had a hard time doing superstar for her and uh see if she can do that dino move uh and you can see that on the uh that that crimp they are reaching for there uh which you need to take really dynamically they've been um yeah they've been very irritating they've blocked it right the roadside hasn't been fairly annoying here right they've blocked the right the top part of it so you need to be precise as well exactly while you're uh in a really really uncomfortable position i need to go dynamically for it so and and by blocking we mean that they put another hold onto it so it makes it less positive and just a bit harder to get a hold off yeah you can't just uh overshoot it you need to be precise um yeah but checking in here with alexis who is uh currently having quite a hard time with uh sorry another next year axel rather uh who is currently having quite a hard time uh figuring out what to do right here um he can't get off the start but reaching around the corner getting that crimp is looking super hard for him but i i'm quite interested to see how ingrid will fare throughout this final because she is already now on the number two looking very comfortable uh in getting that swing as we do check in now with axel we can't really reach around the corner having a really hard time with it but now ingrid wants to get up here let's see if she can get that trip if she gets it [Applause] and this will be super interesting if she can do the mantle it looks promising she's right where she wants to be and then just sort of slowly beginning to push with her left hand even though it's still a crimp exactly like she does there and there should be a top here from ingrid yes super yeah a beautiful performance all along here from ingrid and it puts her i believe up at the top because we haven't seen uh too many tops on this boulder so far we have two zones coming in from gaia and but i do believe that uh tina had a hard time on the ball i can't remember did she she got to the very top right at the very last second yeah on the green on the the number one i think she tapped number one oh she didn't top them through ingrid oh uh tina i can't remember okay uh maybe she did but it does put ingrid up at the very top at least getting uh two tops now in total so she is looking really really strong [Music] [Applause] as we're checking in here with axel falls off timer runs out unfortunately no more for actually what a very nice try all in all [Applause] [Music] our next competitors on the stage is anthony goldstein and sooner i have it two competitors with so much experience we've already introduced them we've already talked about how strong they are now let's see if they can put it into action anthony is also one of those really strong muslim guys so i mean with kind of the same physique as hannah's it could be very interesting to see if he can do the same as hannes and get on top yeah he's obviously really strong i don't know if um normally uh huge dynamic moves and really technical stuff um coordination moves this sort of this style uh i'm pretty uh yeah it's gonna be really interesting to see whether there's more raw power that you need on this boulder on the start or on the crimps there if that's uh okay for him but we are now looking at sunivan who are slowly making her way around the corner checking back in with anthony and stephanie so getting around the corner now has to release one of his throws instead of making another throw he puts up a heel so that's a new base that we haven't seen so far super strong from um from anthony there and two moves to go three moves maybe [Applause] so he's down onto the uh in the hole down there a super strong performance you can see in his eyes how powerful that move was but he gets it done goes through with that uh with that crush through move as well with his hands so definitely a different beta but it looked like the toe helped him out a lot robin did you expect anyone to come up with that uh i think we actually saw her he looked earlier on but yeah he switched it to a toe so uh super super efficient way he started out there and it's good to see that anthony can also just basically crunch a really hard fingery move because we always see him jumping around on fancy stuff but yeah really good effort and that just means it's all open right yeah but i think that was just such an important job for him because as we talked about earlier going on to that motor problem two times this is not what you want to do no absolutely not so just getting it done quick and efficiently does uh help anthony a lot in the rounds to come as we're now checking in with universe look right here we're zooming in on those screw-ons she's getting one she's getting two now she just has to control the swing but unfortunately can't quite do it i mean what we've seen so far from the ones who have uh toughness one was that they basically once they got that swing they just knocked off they pulled himself up and made sure to not swing too much so maybe that is the way forward you're considering that as well yeah so um controlling a swing is quite often about just getting up in a position where you sort of can lock a little bit off in your shoulder so you're more in control and also just slowly slowly releasing your feet from wherever you have to to to to uh release them from um to to sort of minimize the swing yeah um but getting a bit further up in her shoulders uh could definitely be helpful but what she is what she needs i think um but she's pretty quickly up there again and yeah well she hasn't she hasn't switched her feet down on the chip there maybe that it's okay but wait but she only has 30 seconds left so she is in quite a hurry yeah uh if she needs to get this boulder done now with 25 seconds left to go she jumps back on to this boulder and it's not a super powerful boulder so like obviously some energy will be spent but in the end you see footsteps right there she jumps off and that's going to be the end of soon about yeah and i believe that's just going to be a strong portion of that here in our second boulder riven so um next competitor i'm pretty psyched to see on the power problem there the immense uh we've got frederick's delusions there and my feeling is that this should also be a problem that suits him well he's really strong in his fingers he's a former like a super serious root climber yeah has of course the last year's gone more and more into bouldering and that's his thing but i think this should shoot him well because he's that strong in his fingers but it's also a matter of getting those first three moves right the first time so uh you're ready for the uh for the pure finger power part absolutely it takes a lot of strength to get that vaulted gun but now hannah middle also on this problem so robin is this a problem that kind of fits anna's style i think i am positive i will almost bet anything with you that she will do the mantle if she gets there the first part i'm not so sure um but you know you talked about frederick and you just see right here his fingers they have so much strength in them that he's holding on really really well fighting for this but go doing the cross through move as well as what does the anthony do yeah i'm not sure what happened there if actually maybe he slipped on the uh on the large disc there we can't really see the disc um but yeah it's going to be interesting to see how fast he's on the wall again because uh maybe he want to go maybe he he only wants to give this uh one more goal or something like that okay so hannah is out there struggling to get her right hand on the on the little chip up there um [Music] so she still has a little over half her time left so plenty of time to try and figure it out so hannah is i believe not that tall so um as maybe a little bit uh as we saw with um um as we uh saw earlier on with um with gaia uh sort of getting out there and taking the swing can be quite difficult because you're a a little bit more re you're sort of a little bit more speechy for you and and the swing can uh be a problem right yeah so um yeah but if she takes a swing managed to hold that should be good for her yes because then there's the canvas move and there's the manual both fingers are super good thing suit her style pretty good it's very powerful but you can see frederick just briefly got a look at him falling off the boulder once again he is having a hard time yeah with this boulder has spent i think three or four attempts now so he's starting to get a bit tired but hannah trying to get into the swing taking her time trying to figure out if she can get in there and release it so as you said we're seeing uh frederick has already made a few attempts uh also tried different betas on the crimp so the first few prints um i think maybe he he almost had the right solution the first time but maybe he sort of felt like there is a more efficient way of doing it and he changed it up sometimes when you're in a competition like that there's just so many things going on at once that you forget the solution you you actually use the first time and starts that trying to fix it even though it's not broke and with only four minutes you climb you need to be very efficient in what you're trying and the way that you are climbing so you don't really get too much time to think about the strategies no this is the last attempt and he's only got 15 seconds so one last shot at it come on three seconds come on fresher two seconds come on freddy won't be able to do it try to jump right but won't get it that means we're going to take another just very small break in between these boulders as we do have another 3d model coming up and this time around it should be of men's number three and women's number three that we thought were women's numbers yeah so men's the next problem here is like uh really large volumes uh it's about pushing uh you start out by sort of a press out on two large volumes then you put your feet on some small chips and try to sort of slowly traverse out to the left and end up with sort of taking yeah jumping from the zone with your right hand onto this ledge there um and you sort of mantle up into the end i don't think the last part is that hard but um yeah a high complexity assess uh it certainly looks complex so many holes so many angles technical slab tiny feet and these dual textures says a mantle finish i'm not sure that is the hard part it might be but i don't think so yeah we can only wait to figure it out once we get on with these folders this is uh this is the kind of problem that's so hard to read beforehand but you almost have to just get on there and try absolutely and when when i looked at that boulder before we went on to uh to go with the finals i mean it looked very very hard robin but here we have women's number three yeah we already talked about this before before we got we we looked at it didn't we and so this is the problem with um quite a lot of uh there's no feet so basically you have to go uh through that section um by sort of pure strength so high intensity not too complex not too risky but um yeah fingery crooks at the top as we talked about yes and i'm still really looking forward to seeing that part because it could mean that a lot of our athletes will get frustrated if once they get up to the top it's going to be so fingery it's going to be really powerful yeah and if they fall off then they're going to have to do it all over again so you're in it for the drama here i kind of this time around i do definitely feel like you like people tonight people who put a lot of effort into it failing at the last point well you know it could just bring forth some emotions from ourselves oh yeah yeah that would be really nice but then going back to men's number three i i really like the look of this one uh before we went into the finals as i said i just looked at it i thought it looked super super hard i still feel like it looks like such a hard problem so i i am really interested in seeing which of the athletes over on the men's sides will be able to do this one simply because we do have some really powerful guys but suddenly they're thrown onto a slab where they have to really think about what to do yeah especially when most of it is dual texture i think this uh kind of a problem really suits um anthony actually i think it's just anthony because um [Music] uh he's he's pretty good at feeling his way through a problem like this he's pretty good at complex movements and there's this jump i think from the stone hole up there which is going to be fine for him as well so um yeah i think he's a good bet to uh to at least topless and there is absolutely no crimps or small holes that you need to there's no finger strength in more than this problem actually at all so but yes it's definitely going to be a very interesting folder to look at and we are now going to have our first set of competitors coming out once again on to these boulders so honest woman coming up as our first competitor and then tina uh coming in as our female competitor so robin how do you think hannes is going to fail in this one because he had a very uh a relatively easy time on men's opportunity um yeah yeah yes yes he flashed yes number two so how is he going to do it in this one well um as i said before i think maybe this is more anthony style uh obviously uh it could play to uh hannah's strength that he's he's just super fit when it comes to sort of full body strength right so he's uh that may play may play a role here i think the women's uh problem here that could be also good for hannah mitchell actually so maybe she can get her first chop on this one because it's really like a power power and compression problem so yeah hannah's just trying to figure out what uh what the first move is and um yeah and you can just see on his that he's not quite sure what to do already so this is just a super complex problem absolutely there's so much going on in this problem that we just have to slowly figure out and he switched he was uh switching his shoe actually there yeah so hannah is putting on a different kind of shoe trying to get something that works a bit better on these slabs i said tina still trying to figure out just to get off the start of this uh sorry uh women's she's doing this super complex like double dino from the crust where when she's got her hands crossed uh i didn't know that this was the solution maybe this maybe she's overthinking it might just be it isn't a real complex boulder but it might just end up being her solution as you can see right here hannah's figuring out how to get away from the start but more than that we're gonna have to wait and see if he can figure more out as tina actually figures out how to get on from start as well now gets into this more uh fingery and really hard without any feed position tina slowly working her way here she has been in this position for quite a while now and falls down a lot of energy just used to hang on to that hold so robin how important is it to not spend too much energy when you only have those four minutes yeah it's super important and um she sort of tried to do a sort of a dynamic match switching hands just by pulling the one out and quickly putting the other end i'm not sure you need to match that one i think you can maybe uh sort of twist your whole upper body and uh and um because it's a it's a pretty good hold you've got on your left hand though so that's what i think you need to do but um [Music] yeah and hannes is uh just really finding it hard to get get this program going question is if he needs his left foot up there on the first or the second hole i think the first time he put it on the first uh little tiny chip there yeah pulls off 40 seconds left to go for both athletes and we haven't really seen too much in this round robin neither of the athletes really getting too far on these boulders now tina definitely looking for that stone hole with only 30 seconds left to go the zone must be what she is aiming for yeah but um maybe she can actually i think she can use the volume there on her right hand and go from there i'm not sure yeah like that no so maybe it is a match looks good looks good yeah come on and that's the zone yeah that's with five seconds remaining will get the zone so fortunately for her that is going to give her a better fighting ads here in the rest of this competition harley's won't you move on further as well as now we are going to have our next step of the competition uh competitors coming out gaia soft coming in and alexi mikola coming in from finland and i think we saw on that problem that probably the match was the wager to go with it that just proves how that that just proves that i am myself quite bad at reading roots because i thought it was some fancy crossover movement but you know that can happen but now how do you uh think gaia's chances on this boulder will be we still haven't seen her get anything but a single stone but she is a really strong upper body climber yeah and with this being a thought about your fingers and the upper body how do you see her face yeah i think should be good for her um i wonder about that start there if you really need to do um that cross cross dynamic move no you don't have to she did with the funds come on gaia yeah easy [Music] now the question is will gaia also match or will she use that volume going with her feet first over to that short hole still trying to figure out how to get over to the show now matching up on us yes so she went for that crossover like visa and yeah good effort though alexi over on the men's side i think one one thing we haven't talked a lot about uh in these uh finals is um maybe you can't really see it on the stream here but if you are here in the venue you can feel the music going you can see there's a huge crowd looking in towards you and being in finals like this there's just quite a lot of focus on you to be honest um so maybe it doesn't show but there's quite a lot of pressure going on here i'm sure gaia feels that and sometimes if you fall off in the start holes as you did there or sort of struggles to uh to progress on the voter problem you just the the fact that there are quite a lot of people watching who can really stress you i think i definitely could imagine remember ladies and gentlemen this is coming from a former competitor uh who knows the game who knows how you need to uh like deal with these kind of stressful situations and uh all those different kinds of environments that you can't be uh put into as a climber but gaia come on guys just for that zone can't quite get it trying to stabilize yourself by reaching over to the next hole unfortunately won't be getting it one minute and 30 seconds left to go here for gaia and for alexi still relatively uh plenty of time but alexi has to look the most promising of all our male competitors so far here on men's number three i think he was almost up at the zone there maybe uh the other try but yeah it's just uh the kind of problem that where we can't even really tell what they're doing right and wrong because there's just so much going on [Music] oh gaia does save after a foot slip so yeah not the end of the world quite yet still trying to figure out how to get over to that stone hole puts up that heel once again tries to reach over let's see if you can do it this time around [Music] so she's uh sort of a little bit stuck in the solution that she uh she ended up with i think she should maybe uh yeah try to um try something else but with 30 seconds left remaining she doesn't really have that much time perhaps you should have tried it earlier on but all in all gaia has i've had a lot of attempts on this folder so far um i don't think she's gotten the show yet even and uh i i don't even think that we have any male competitors getting the show neither now i can see that lexi has uh quit his attempts on men's number three same goes for gaia she moves off the mat and now we're gonna have our third set of competitors going on to boulder number three [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] neil caitleb getting ready laying down his towel obviously uh for a whole of those who are relatively new to climbing you put down that towel so that you can brush your shoes obviously if you get a lot of chocolate shoes there are going to get more and more slippery so you don't really want uh that to be the main problem uh so i'll see above the climbers they do bring a towel already off here that is a quick start from him with only 30 seconds to spend [Applause] trying to go for that compression uh type of data we haven't seen it work for all of our competitors but it works for some and here being one of our uh higher competitors relatively easily jumps into that move now good slips and she falls off unfortunately but she is quite a tall competitor so getting into that stronghold might be a tad easier for her than it was for gaia or what do you think of it yes you might have a little bit more reach and uh she's super strong in the whole body kind of moves so yeah i was just thinking um this kind of boulder problem that we're seeing here is um where they're so struggling to get off the ground this is this is probably the the kind of problem that when you are not used to bothering when you've seen the olympics for the first time as i talked to some people that saw that thought that speed climbing was just a great great and but they didn't get the part where they were just struggling to get off the ground right yeah so this is the kind of problem they're talking about it just makes no sense if you don't know what bouldering is absolutely speed climbing is super easy head to head of course but here with this bouldering uh when it flows it really really flows so far we haven't really seen these boulders go the way that the blue set has probably intended it looks a lot harder than what i expected as well we have to have two taps on the first one so yeah it's been pretty successful in that way but um okay so this is one of the premises problems have looked super top for the competitors leo reaching out with a zone hold not quite able to control it and stabilize uh and we i don't think we've seen anyone on the female side move past the soul as well so these are some really hard problems and they're really uh dividing our athletes all in all making sure that there is going to be a like some athletes who will get the zones and we'll get the tops and some will just won't move further than us yeah we're now one minute remaining leo is still on his boulder still trying to get up to use that stone hole and uh bruiser still trying to figure out how to just get to the stronghold to begin with her foot keeps slipping and remember she does have an injury in her right leg so oh yeah using that is a bit more painful for her but there you go that is the stronghold come on yeah she got the zone there i think i'm not sure about i think but uh i'm guessing what leo is experiencing right now is probably a bit like going to the world cup this is uh what i've tried a few times and sometimes you just meet stuff like this really complex and uh yeah just doesn't have the time to figure it out yeah you just need bowlers where you can't see what you really have to do and with only four minutes and it's fairly frustrating standing to standing in front of a problem where you know you can do it because this is not a matter of strength basically um there are probably parts of the boulder problem that is about strength of tension in your body but uh basically it's about finding your balance absolutely but now our full set of competitors will come out that is going to be axel linford and ingrid kinsley harkin ingrid i do believe that she currently is at the very top of the school board uh so she is super super strong um definitely one that we have to look out for and if she can do this then that would be really really cool would definitely give her even a better fighting chance you see right there on your screen she is in first place if she can get this i think it will more or less cement her getting uh either uh third or first position because she just is so high up the only one who's really i think it bothers so many tops but he spends one attempt just trying to get off the ground again apparently it is a bit of a harder problem for these competitors same goes here for uh axel limpus who is just trying to get off uh through that zone hold on men's number three [Music] getting up through that hold now she has to transition over to that zone hold but it's a really hard one it has been blocked it isn't as positive as you could want so ingress ingrid is at the top of the leaderboard so if she can do this problem as well it looks really good um [Applause] yeah it doesn't help on this uh this this balancing problem that there is this two two holes that is stuck together in the middle and i don't think they really mean anything i think there is like graphics on the wall or something like that um and i talked to the root centers and they they also used it to cover something up or something like that but it just makes it even more complex maybe you're thinking there's a small heads there but these are just like yeah you don't need to use the those uh blank white ones without the the texture part yeah they are just for showing also they are dual textured so they aren't fun to hold it all they are super slippery so probably won't see any competitors using that as we now check in here with ingrid two minutes left to go on her attempt here on women's number three if she gets this one i think that is going to cement her getting that first place i don't think anyone will be able to uh reach her i haven't quite made the math uh and i'm not the best at that but i i do believe that is going to be the case she still has one minute and 45 seconds left to go so plenty of time her to figure it out uh and with her already having the show she definitely uh is in a good position to take it a little bit uh slower relax a bit more and uh figure out how to get to that i think axel is making a quite quick progress on this one so maybe and that could be crucial getting your left foot over to the last ship there i really do hope that we do see some men get to the top of that one i feel like this or i i think it is my favorite problem so far off this final i don't think we're going to see another problem with this one uh just because i really like the looks of it it looks super nice i'm a big slap fan myself but obviously if we don't really see anyone topping it it's going to be very unfortunate and you see many of the athletes like struggling to get an undercling on that problem to get a really pull from an undercling right and she makes the move now let's see if you can get the rest ingrid in a very good position now we're getting to that fingery crops that is going to be very very hard and talking about those frustrated faces if she falls off here it's definitely going to give us a frustrated face come on so the last two hard moves here [Applause] english signal time lining it up [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] no she falls off so unfortunately that's not going to be a top timer runs out but that is the most promising we've seen a female competitor be so far on this problem yeah it's just a huge effort there and unfortunately all she gets is the song from that one and it doesn't really reflect how much energy and how much time she put into that boulder because damn did she give it her all now anthony the male competitor that you said robin might have a chance at doing this one i'm looking forward to seeing whether or not you're going to be wrong because no one has really looked super promising on that folder five but if anyone could do it it might just be empty yeah i think he's got a chance there but um okay maybe there's she's shared the visa with a tina there may be only talking to uh yeah i don't know well t-net has definitely uh showed us that you can go with that beta suniva so far uh utilizing it and getting quite priced well here on our first attempt [Applause] [Music] nice guess out onto that one now let's see if she can get as far as ingrid ingrid got off to the fingery crocs at the end but phil just at the very last second [Applause] lining it up getting that first one in let's see if you can get this other one [Applause] and she does i believe that's a flash as well coming in here from sudaba so such a strong performance all in all here from sort of a uh ingrid's norwegian uh colleague coming in as well so man what a performance from the cinema and now we're all just back to looking at anthony the last male competitor on men's number three so i believe that makes it really exciting uh when we when we get to the last female problem i think there's uh two two tops from uh english and sunima is that true is that true i believe so yes i can't quite remember perhaps we can get this scoring up on screen uh at least we will get it i believe after this boulder so uh it does make it a bit more exciting and it does put zumita up into the chances of getting a gold medal here against england but anthony struggling here on immense number three sort of trying to get get his hand in in an undercling position you might say [Applause] yeah he's having a bit of a harder time with 1 minute and 40 seconds left to go athlete hasn't really looked as promising as some of the other competitors we saw we did see axel he's getting it's half further on just holding yeah he did uh he's been there for the 17th i i do believe he asked but i don't think any uh has been ordered for the show so far so just getting a zone here from uh anthony would be a victory in and of itself but obviously i would much rather like to see your top because the top just looks so interesting [Music] [Applause] so left foot on the uh that one the the number two yeah come on come on number two chip let's see if you can get into damaging pushes right foot out and now left foot super promising i think at the position he was in there he needs to grab the last hole there as an undercling before he does the jump [Applause] i know that anthony is the kind of climber who who likes to uh move quickly and move sort of execute but you need to be patient on this one don't you yes you do 20 seconds left to go doesn't have a lot of time and he just goes slimes up into there i don't know what to do so roman anthony didn't do it no he didn't do it just prove that this was a bloody complex problem a really complex problem let's see if our last male competitor can do it frederick now coming on to the stage pulled by hannah mitchell now for hannah this might just be her type of problem it's super strong it's a lot about your fingers so if anyone can top it alongside english it might just be hannah over on the men's side of things do you think frederick stands a good chance at getting this problem i i honestly don't know if this is his kind of style but um this is this is his chance to set himself itself up for for for a five for the final problem right absolutely he's got one top he needs another one so this is it absolutely like we haven't seen anyone get the zone so if he can get that problem done it would definitely show just how strong of a climber he is but uh just to quickly touch back on whether or not it's his style i mean it hasn't been anyone's thoughts so far but here we go so let's take a look at the women so as soon as i have it obviously coming in on to first place right here because she is ranked higher than england coming from those qualifications ingrid coming in as uh third climber sooner coming in as number two uh hannah desperately needs this top if she gets this one she's going to move straight up into third position so definitely a much needed top for her frederick i haven't really done anything so far here on this boulder it looks like one minute already passed pathetic now going out for that compression let's see if we can get that on the thing that anthony couldn't yeah and you see him uh sort of trying to move quickly and when you do that you're just thrown off basically [Music] it's moving quickly on a slab it's never a good idea robin so [Music] you do see once in a while you see sort of actually dynamic moves on the slab right but most of the time you just need to be really patient yes and also just sort of being okay with being in a constantly awkward unsecure position where you're where you're not in control basically and that most of us it makes us get impatient on the wall when you're in this uh sort of slightly feeling you're you're not in control falling off the wall or sort of nearly falling off the wall every second and being patient in that situation is really hard actually absolutely and well none of the uh male climbers here tonight have really proved themselves here on this men's number three you can see on your scoreboard no one getting that song so it doesn't really change anything in terms of the standings we still have anthony over the top alongside hannah spuman frederick on third place but if you can't get this zone it will start to change things up and secure his spot in first place so it's interesting he's interesting he was uh going for the next uh underclings everything super effort there from hannah got the hole after a match [Applause] now this is hannah's part this is where it is all about those fingers robin [Applause] [Music] hannah taking her time chalking up she knows that the top is not easy but oh is she touching that uh yellow one i don't think she is she hasn't called down so that might just mean that she is going to get this top she needs to move her right hand up and that's the top here from hannah mitchell is the top i was i'm a little bit curious uh if actually she was called down but i don't think so she did touch the uh the yellow hose there it definitely looked like it from our point of view but you know it might not be true that that is what happened as you can see all the all the crowd just going over to that right hand corner because that's where the last two boulders are yeah but with that being said runs out of time we're gonna get another 3d model up on your screen of men's number four and women's number four before we move into the last folders of today [Music] so uh last folder is um starts out uh on the crips there i believe uh on the volume uh two feet down on that moon then you need to sort of jump over to the next hole while doing i think a heel hook actually and then there is a sort of dynamic move where you need to jump up and push with your left hand and hold the top hold with your right hand so that's like a counter push ending if you know i mean it's but with a risky top once again uh robert this could definitely prove to mess things up here gordon man i i just have to say again i know i've talked a lot about anthony and his like dynamic but i just have to say this is just his style it's just it's his answer it's a problem i think and uh the women's here is uh also a dino in the start it's hard to see here but you dino up to a large hole where there is a chip on we cannot see that on the 3d model but there is a chip on that hold i believe and then you uh maybe you need to push with your hand your right hand in the dino then maybe take the thumb catch and the volume do a little bit of a jump or skip to the latch out there and just do the dyno in the end i think it's a it's a large [Music] volume for the uh as a chop hold i think high risk intense uh not that complex maybe it's a coordination steep what does it say step start or steep step steep start so it's not really easy to get onto that start at all but i really like rob and how the risk has gone up here for these last two bowlers how it's just going to be so much harder for these competitors to get it without any problem and they have to really fight for it and i also love how it's coordination boulder so we're going to go out with a bank yeah it's quite a it's quite a little bit sort of uh it's quite normal to see a high-risk like show bowler for the end right absolutely giving us a show i'm looking kind of but as i said on the men's side i think this is uh i don't think it's answer this problem but i may be proven wrong and i'm not sure on the women's side who is our most sort of dynamic and who likes coordination bowlers but yeah i'm not sure actually no but we will see who is going to uh have the best time here on these coordination boulders but basketball is all in all here for the men and the women's last fall in the 2021 nordic bouldering championship as you can see hannah's pullman and tina hopson making their way over towards those folders so maybe we can see them both at once here keeping the stream on two at that time [Music] but both hands and tina getting in position you can see hannah's just going for that push let's see if he can get over to that zone hole nearly controls it at the very start but looks like he got a bit too much momentum i'm not sure you have too much actually but i think maybe this is the kind of older way you really need to a large swing [Music] so he goes straight for i know the intention was that you should go for the heel up there but he just went straight down with his hand super efficient now let's see if you can get that top it is a risky one uh it looks like you need to press as well so not super easy to do at all you can see right there hannah's only went for that top hole and this sort of shows that you need to go really high on the last that's like a classic dyno like getting really high on your feet and just pushing through there um [Music] because you need to get as ha so high that you can push with your left hand at the same time so yeah not an easy position at all to be in uh robin so but um i think hannah's i mean he's he's he's nailed the first swing layer i thought yeah i thought maybe uh his swing was a little bit i thought he would have to swing even more but well it looks like he's he's got that one so it's just a matter of really doing that classic liner in the end come on hannah's yeah and it's lining himself up once again getting that right pulled up goes up but it looks like his foot slips or couldn't quite get in here and i don't don't know why he sort of put his right foot that high really he could put it uh on a more sort of on a better surface i think okay so um yeah tina trying to sort of end her jump in a push push up towards him i think maybe uh you need to go straight up uh sort of taking it taking the thumb catch with both hands maybe i'm not sure [Music] tina just having a hard time getting up to uh that zone just getting away from the start really so with only just one minute and 15 seconds left to go she hasn't been made too much progress it kind of feels like she is getting stuck down to the muscle when she tries to go up before that person yeah [Music] [Applause] hannah's trying to jump up can't quite get enough height once again and probably like we've gotten to a point where you don't really have any boldness in depth and more how much of a break you have to take in between every try simply this is the matter of i think gaining strength i don't think it's too bad i mean this is not really tiring and too much so i suppose just giving giving the uh giving as many attempts as you can sort of stay fo while still staying focused right so um [Applause] so he's just slowly slowly and you can see within each attempt he's getting a little bit higher a little bit more focused on the sort of getting his right foot up there while jumping so that's why it makes makes sense to give it quite a few attempts but he only has four seconds left so hannes has to go and he has to go right now but unfortunately won't get that top that's going to be the end of hannes and tina here in this final you can hear the crowd giving them a huge applause and what a final from them as well hannah's uh coming out and really giving us a show on the first few boulders yeah and um did tennis flash the first problem i do believe he did yes um oh sorry flash yeah but he didn't flash the first problem which i think anthony did yes really i think anthony and frederick so this could uh perhaps be crucial definitely getting that throne is important all in all but also the attempts on the first boulder if they have an equal amount of tops and probably also they didn't get the first zone so um yeah maybe uh it's it's it comes down to attempts [Applause] absolutely yes gaia is lining her way up here yeah she has only gotten one sewn so far definitely needs more and sexy however unfortunately we couldn't see that he looked there from the judge but uh he really nailed it yeah he just landed that heel look without any problem we did see a hennis move in with his left hand instead to stabilize himself but the heel hook is the intended basel so it would be nice to try and get a clear view off that hill yeah come on [Applause] it's not an easy ball to do at all here full gaia there is that ship on but you know just getting enough height especially when the wall is throwing you away simply because it is leaning outwards yeah uh doesn't really make it easy at all and i think maybe uh you need to simultaneously go with your right hand into a push maybe she's throwing that now yeah sort of something like that almost looks like it's a double step die i know it probably isn't but it almost looks like you could sort of you could uh jump from the starting uh holes right to get higher up it might be necessary as well you know kaya isn't the highest competitor so you know that might be uh the strategy that she needs to apply instead of it's probably uh way too steep so it's just us imagining it but okay she's going for a more static solution here trying that is certainly not the intention what wasn't the intent okay pretty nice try and she almost did the double step dyno just in a very different way yeah not intended beta but you know if it works it works and gaia so far it looks like she is having a problem getting that hide in right robin so like what kind of strategy do you think she should be applying now to try and at least get up to that stone mode i think just uh putting her feet really high on the grey volume so she gets as much height as possible and then going for the for the uh for the um the chip with her left hand and the push with her right hand but that that obviously means she has to go fairly high yes 125 seconds left to go i do think this is what gaia's fifth attempt so she is definitely the one who has been putting in quite a lot of time and effort into this boulder so far must be slowly getting tired because you have to keep pulling yourself upright well um i mean for gaia this whole competition i guess it should still give her a boost of confidence i mean she's gone to the finals in really hard field so many uh great competitors have have already left the competition i mean after the semifinals so just the fact that she went through it's just uh quite an effort absolutely absolutely and you know gaia coming in here as the only danish athlete uh also still being at junior that too we are definitely proud of her for well first being a danish athlete and fighting and representing denmark but also just coming in here as a junior fighting against the seniors those uh big names as as hannah mipper as uh definitely someone that she must have seen really dominate the scene when she was growing up yeah and you see uh alexi actually uh had a hard time sort of regaining doing the jump again i don't know if he did it twice or once but um he quite quickly got the heel hook and then sort of had a hard time redoing it actually but alexis does get that shown on his first attempt that could end up being crucial now however time runs out and we're going to get our next set of competitors uh moving in so that is going to be rusa moving in alongside leo leo coming in as a climber with quite a lot on his resume you know got a gold medal in 2015 in the bouldering nordic championship um he did also get a gold medal same year in the lead competition in the nordic scene so like he is definitely someone that you need to be reckoned with um now he is showing us what he can do here on the last problem for the men can't quite get far enough to land that a tow hook right there around the corner and rusa also looks to be having quite some problems here on uh women's number four as well so when not exactly seeing all of the all of the competitors are having a super good time here on uh on these boulders no they certainly didn't uh make it uh purely show boulder uh easy as they sometimes do um they're proving to be maybe one of the hardest problems the last two here yeah well all these dynamic moves and uh having to coordinate it all especially on like a steep ball for example it is a hard one you could see her getting fairly close there and it looks like it is the uh the thumb cuts and the push yeah so if you dress if you can do that shoulder press right it definitely helps you a lot loser is a very strong finger up in that shoulder area so i'm looking forward to seeing if if she can do more also hannah mitchell later on if she can't get up and doing that shoulder press yes question if she can diner the distance that is true that is definitely true but so far both our competitors are just taking a bit of a breather right here two minutes left to go [Applause] [Music] still plenty of time to uh to like figure out what they need to do you see leo just having a hard time or getting over to the stone holes does get in there super good swing he had there a good sort of preparation in this wing and he ended up really swinging through you might say [Applause] so that means that tina will get up there touch the stone hole i'm not quite sure if that's going to give her the zone i don't think sorry but uh well now gets that show let's see if she can use it she's got the zone now come on come on exactly ah and she actually overshoots it doesn't he or she shoots above the hose exactly you can't really grab that part it's dual texture so it is super slippery you will fall off if you don't uh just reach around the corner and actually get into the well the textured part of that hole now tina however knows what needs to be done has done it once let's see if you can do it once again with one minute left here on the timer so leo has got the first one now and then this huge dino and that it just proves it's just uh by now looks like it's too far it's too far up so um i'm still rooting for um maybe anthony could do that well i'm not sure yeah the men haven't really been able to do it quite yet perhaps anthony can do it anthony will not be the next competitor coming out that will be actually linfus joined by ingrid timsey hawkins so i mean angry does look super dominant tonight uh we know actually can mess things up he definitely is one of those climbers that sometimes have a really good day it's really hard to say with uh him he's fairly unpredictable uh yeah we'll see as that now ends this final for rusa and leo and ingrid moving their way over to these boulders and i'm really looking forward to seeing ingrid on these boulders because i feel like she has been such a huge fighter and she definitely has given it her all whenever she has uh had the chance to to really give it her all so if anyone can do this i'm sure it must be english so the uh the uh the the um the interesting part here is between ingrid and sunila isn't it it definitely they've got two tops right they both have two tops so this is a decider it is whoa whoa well talking about someone who is unpredictable i am actually coming in with a different beta this guy that's probably quite impressive um that would be just absolutely breaking the beta as we talked about just shortcutting it not doing the dino not even the first one and just going straight for it i'm um curious to whether he's gonna try to repeat that or if he's or if he felt it was just uh unrealistic to go any further maybe we'll have to wait and see once he moves up once again uh but talking a bit more about english what experience what has really been surprising me english now trying to go for that the gaia baser that we did see the slow steady one where they're a bit more aesthetic [Applause] [Music] let's see if you can stabilize himself it's not really positive it's only like an edge you could really uh hold on to so you don't really get too much to work with uh i think the solution where he started uh turning his left foot and then went for a full push down on the crips if he can do that then it's possible absolutely but now for ingrid and uh this is an important boulder both they really need to uh get this holder whoever gets it will be uh basically the winner for england if she can get the zone and then sunil can't get it then he would will be yeah the winner of tonight but if both get to zone then obviously sooner will be the winner simply because she is higher ranked than uh than english but what is surprising to me uh coming in from england is that she hasn't really proven herself in the bouldering competitions quite uh yet she has participated in over 30 i ever seen youth cop so she definitely has the experience but where she has had the most success is in those league competitions she has gotten second place in every league competition that she has participated in in the nordic scene since 2017. okay so she definitely is a hugely climber yeah but let's see if she can also transition it into a a battle here on the bowling scene and well so far she definitely is well on the way so back to the uh the part where he's trying to break the beta if he could just turn his right hand i.e yeah okay but i think that is his best bet right now because going through all the those other dinos is uh has proven really hard so just stick to that strange pizza there is my advice well you know with only one minute left uh as well robin you don't really have time to try and figure out different solutions and try to figure out okay how do i do the entire boulder on the regular way so i mean all in all you have you are desperate definitely right this is the best solution here from action oh he actually goes he actually goes for the standard one [Music] [Applause] going for that zone 20 seconds left she definitely needs to show but i don't think she got this no this is not going to be destroyed for english so unless sooner that doesn't get that slow uh ewit is not really safe and sound yet and there's uh six seconds left so this is the thing with three two one come on english you can do it unfortunately i won't get that thrown but oh my god did she fight for him that's what i said she is a fighter but now it's all in the hands of tsunamis she can't get this gold medal if she tops this one or it gets that show [Music] but also anthony robin you've been talking about anthony all evening he's going on to men's both boulder um definitely want to look out for you said if anyone would do it then should you have them yeah i think we might see a top now and uh anthony proving once again that uh he's just the king of the uh nordic championships he's won it quite a few times and actually being quite consistent in the nordics i'm quite impressed so yeah i think he might do it [Music] lining it up trying to get that first go as well but unfortunately not getting on the first goal athlete might try to go for that uh basic break as well nope decides to go for it [Applause] but not quite getting no way there not even close actually no but like it's it is really hard when you have to go for that first ride yeah where you apparently you need to get so high that you can get your left hand that is a different way of doing it he's going for pure finger strength on the right hand there yeah it just looks like it's really far and the only last i mean this last dino there i don't know if they can kick up their right foot onto those crimps right away uh if that's the solution but yeah but nevertheless both competitors is just taking a break right here trying to figure out what they need to do both know that the balls haven't really been seeing too much action over towards the top because obviously they can hear the crowd going wild and the crowd hasn't really gone wild over these boulders yet no one has stopped it we haven't seen that uh top as our robot camera apparently goes a little bit crazy as anthony lines up this top [Music] yeah it's just super high or i mean that it's just the distance of the bloody jump there okay so uh maybe no chop for the uh it would be nice it would be super nice to get to end this to the top let's conclude it because we have tops no we didn't have a top one number three as well so not for the men so yeah yeah it would be nice to see the male competitors come in with the top right here anthony and frederick are gonna dash two competitors out one minute and twenty five seconds left but in order to get that job so my uh if anthony doesn't make this i still think he might win uh when if it comes down to attempt i haven't quite done the math but i'm sure that you are okay i've been going for the push now going for the push super interesting [Applause] there's really no s to really hold on to on those holes so it's all about just how much power you can put through your hands anthony clark for 50 seconds i just give it one more really good goal suniva can't get uh probably can't get to the top right but it doesn't have a lot of time left to do it and well i mean this should put her in first place still coming back to come back she is higher place from uh qualifications than uh english so i can't believe that she is higher up i'm not sure about the attempt earlier on if they're equal on them there might be a difference in those but if it comes back to a compact then sunbath is higher up but anthony goes up grabs it but just again not enough makes his head no [Music] okay that's five seconds left and that means that we are now going to get our last two competitors in frederick alongside hannah midfield but hannah has one top she has one top yeah so this is still possible for her so maybe depends on the attempts i can't remember did she get a shown on women's number three so women's number two yeah i think she did she did because she went for the uh yes he did no wait women's number two uh what's the yellow one over there i'm not sure i'm not sure no i'm not completely sure either but she currently is in the third position so perhaps if she gets a top right here or something she can maybe even winning okay nice momentum there build up by uh frederick huge swing he did [Music] yeah come on hannah [Music] and i lining it up but can't quite get into that compression no i thought shoot spits too far from the wall outside up [Music] needs to get closer to the wall as frederick lines it up once again with that uh momentum it is he's doing a really good job at building it up but getting over there and standing that healer just to stop his progression is apparently uh proving to be a bit harder something something we might still forget he's watching is that they are doing these swings from a few crips it's not like they've got a bar or something like that so that makes it hard to make a full swing yeah that looks good [Applause] there we go for frederick landon that won't get in the zone this time around let's see if we can get up to the top jumps up and uh [Music] more promising from him it looks like he we actually got his right foot over exactly yeah we're about to stabilize themselves so with two minutes and 20 seconds left to go frederick is my hope for top now there we go they are fairly positive those crimps there so it's not the end of the world having to hold these ones but obviously uh they aren't the best in the world it's not like swinging from a bar as you said robin so just being able to build all that momentum definitely comes down to how much you can swing [Music] [Applause] anna really close to stabilizing yourself right there [Music] one minute and 35 seconds left to go here for these competitors and these are the last ones coming out yeah so after this we will have the standings and we will see who are going to be the of the seniors by more here today yeah and unfortunately we don't have the uh results in yet and we just struggling a little bit to get the results in on a regular basis as well so we can't quite tell you who is on first place right now i think uh yeah [Applause] so he he tries to to go for the right beta but it's just uh yeah again proven to that that this jump is just enormous it is a really really hard jump so cryptic can't do it hannah is having a hard time just getting up to that zone as well so i don't think hannah will be the one uh missing understandings over on the female side so i do believe that unless something crazy happens within the next four seconds [Applause] i'll put a push now it you just get in a stuck position unfortunately when you do that but yes but without that unless anything crazy happens now from hannah's grove the movie is univer at the top followed by ingrid and then hannah and you're pretty certain cinema is above [Applause] [Music] about eight seconds left and this will probably be the last attempt from both competitors and that will continue right here robin there we go so now we have the results here for the final so anthony goldstein up at the top hand is poo man second place and frederick solacious coming in in third place so he did a right state of mind to in the competitions right and here we go with the women's final as well so suniva up at the top followed by english kinsey khan and hannah [Music] you
