McColl wants fair treatment but IFSC seems to be right - UPDATED

Sean McColl, an IFSC Athlete Representative for many years, did fail to make the semi, together with the regaining world champion Romain Desgranges, due to have been called to stand and "use" a sponsor logo on the wall. Sean questions this on his Insta and almost 10 000 have backed him up as he means Adam Ondra did the same thing. (c) Udu Neuman Insta. Sean points out that even if Ondra would also have been judged to "use" the sponsor logo, as defined in the IFSC rule, he would have made it to the semifinal. Sean asks and hopes for IFSC, "to admit the signage was placed poorly and remove the down-score from any affected athlete. This would qualify both Romain and myself for semis." Adam Ondra has posted a video on his Insta showing that he did not touch the hold McColl and Desgranges stood on.
