Everyone is going for the Olympics

Having talked to most of the top male WC boulderers and many of the coaches, it seems like everyone is going for the Olympics. Nobody, besides the French guys, have started any serious Speed training but many say they will start this winter. In one way, it is good for the athletes that most give low priority for Speed which makes it feel less hard to become a very good Speed climber. On the other hand, the French guys did perform relatively bad in Munich which could be explained their broader focus already. Alexey Rubtsov said specifically that he plans to not train Lead but just Boulder and Speed as it is not a problem to be weak in one discipline if you are good in the other two. The Combined result is calculated by multiplication.
