?'s for the Continental Olympic qualifications?
The last event to qualify for Tokyo is the five Continental Combined Championships which will take place in spring 2020. No info of how they will be set up in regards format etc is available yet. However, as most of them are scheduled to last just 2 - 4 days, one might speculate that first the three disciplines will be run in qualification mode getting the Top-8, who then will run a final during one day. In other words, the flash or semi? results in Lead will be multiplied with the qualification results in Speed and Boulder to get the Top-8.
In regards the European and the Asian Championship, it just might be that very few of the best will take part as they already have qualified or that their country quota has been filled. Furthermore, most probably, these events will be held in the same period as the Boulder World Cup will run in 2020. Being a bit conspiratorial, the Continental Championship might be the best possibility for Russia to get a ticket to Tokyo, by sending the biggest team possible to Moscow and then run the results by the calculator?
It should also be mentioned that this is the only possibility for Chaehyon Seo to qualify as she has not done any Boulder World Cups, so she can qualify to Toulouse, and that she did not make it in Hachioji.

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.
