Commentators need more digital info

The commentators are doing a very great job describing the climbing and doing interviews etc. They are just improving and it is nice to see that they are so familiar with the athletes. What makes their job super hard is the lack of a digital scoreboard, especially with the multiplication format in Combined. The number of times they mislead the viewers are just endless, talking about what is needed to make the final etc. The Top-8 selection out of 20 will be around 400 points. This means that any winner of any discipline are almost certain to advance to the Top-8. Using this estimation it is quite easy to share speculations what is needed etc. When it comes to getting a bronze in the Top-8 final, we are talking like 24 - 64 points. This means that 1 * 8 * 8 most likely would make you fourth. The commentators should also talk to IFSC officials explaining rules and the format procedure so they do not continue to mislead the viewers.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
