Digital info is badly needed

Showcase our sport through events is the IFSC first key objective. I must say that IFSC badly needs to present digital info live on the screen in order to take full advantage of all excitement that happens in Combined in Moscow Here is some info that could be visible all the time making the event a better showcase of our sport.

1. Personal best time next to the athletes time
2. Current rankings after each round in both Speed and Boulder
3. In bouldering the results for each boulder is not possible to find at all
4. Current rankings based on the multiplication score

Furthermore, Matt Groom who is doing a great job, needs a sidekick that can analyse the result and explain what results are needed for the athletes. With no digital updates live on the screen it is very hard for him analysing everything live. As an example, as Jernej Kruder was in trouble on his third boulder, the excitement would increase if the audience would hear. "Most probably, Jernej needs to top in order to have a chance for Tokyo."

In reality, one can speculate that a max score of 380 is needed in order to make it to the Top-8. In other words, William Bosi and Sergei Luzhetski, could just drop out after the first hold in order to save their muscles and performing at their best when the Olympic ticket is at stake tomorrow. Stasa Gejo just needs to beat the Speed specialists, meaning she can let go after 4-5 clips probably.

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
