Celebration puts pressure on the opponets

Niklas Held, working as a route setter, has published a video analyses from the WC in Meiringen. Interesting is his comments in regards that Jernej Kruder, with his big celebration of boulder #1, heated up the spectators and sending the message, including putting more pressure, to his opponents. (c) Eddie Fowke It should be mentioned that Jernej is known for his big celebration and happy face and it comes just natural for him. However, for others who just quietly walks off the stage after sending, such celebration could be a clever move as Niklas points out. You could imagine that sitting in the isolation listening to the crowd go wild will create some extra pressure. Possibly this could beside the friction also partly explain why the #6 ranked in the semifinal, so often get much better results in the final.
