Another major incident in Chongqing

In the picture we can see also Keita Watabe did the same mistake as Tomoa Narasaki, Alexey Rubtsov and Jongwon Chon to not match on the marked top hold. (Everyone who topped out misunderstood that the top hold was the small green camouflage hold under his left hand). Anyhow the Jury did not bother to discredit Keita's top as they did with Tomoa Narasaki. Imagine this would have been the Olympics. What would the IOC, 1 000 journalist and millions of viewers have said as all the four top ranked did not understand how to top out? Clearly, the IFSC and the route setters need to address that there can be no misunderstanding in regards to how to top out. Further more that the Jury guarantees fair judging among all athletes.
