12 days of competing at Youth Worlds

There are 1 172 athletes registered to compete in the Youth World Championship, making it the biggest ever competition ever. Only in male A Bouldering, 132 will participate. The registration starts on Tuesday 29/8 and the marathon event finishes of on Sunday 10/9 with the Youth Olympic qualification for Youth A. On this day, the Top-20 in Combined will once again compete in all three disciplines and the Top-13 best qualifies for the Argentina 2018. (C) Eddie Fowke - The Circuit Climbing First all will compete in the three disciplines doing qualification, semi and final which also counts as Combined qualifications for the finals during the last weekend. In practice, it is not so important to have a good result in all the three disciplines but rather to win one discipline as the Combined result is based on multiplication. In other words, 1 * 20 * 20 = 400, beats 7 * 8 * 8 = 448. On the other hand a potential Speed winner getting around 250 points will have hard time to get to the podium as 2 * 6 * 20 = 240 points and 1 * 12 * 20 = 240. Most probably, the medals will be rewarded for the guys getting in between 100 - 150 points and in order to get to the Youth Olympics you will need a maximum of 1 500 points. It should also be mentioned that to qualify to the Top-20, it is even more important to have at least one good result instead of three medium results. 5 * 50 * 50 = 12 500, beats 23 * 23* 24 = 12 696.
