First Combined ranking in 2019
The Top-20 in the Combined ranking will go to the Olympic qualifying event in Toulouse with six sports to Tokyo. However, anyone being Top-7 in the Combined World Championship in Tokyo in august will get the Tokyo ticket and most probably they are not allowed to practice on the Combined format in Toulouse. As this, in fact, is the only event using the exact same format as in Tokyo it could be considered unfair to not allow also the ones who qualified in august.
As the maximum quota per country is two, it just might be that it will be good enough to be Top-30, or even Top-35 in theory, in the Combined ranking in order to participate in Toulouse. One dilemma is of course if, let us say Germany got two guys Top-7 in WCH and later one of them get an injury stopping him from participating in the Olympics. Then they the first reserve will get called in and in such case it would not be fair to not let also the third French male participating in Toulouse if having qualified.
From the first combined ranking we can see that Adam Ondra is missing since he has not yet done two Speed and Lead events. Interesting to see that in the female ranking, there are five Speed specialists among the Top-25.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs 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.
