Olympic best-case scenario

Here are some examples of best-case scenario happenings that would showcase sport climbing and make also non-climbers watching future World Cup live-streaming.

Janja Garnbret doing a triple dyno in Bouldering swinging out facing the camera could become one of the highlights of the Olympic. This clip would be shown over and over again in television and would quickly get 10 million views on YouTube.

If she later in the final is the only female topping out, she could be crowned one of the very big stars in Tokyo, especially if she is Top-2 in Speed.

For the males, one best case scenario could be if the last climber out needs to Top out faster in order to win overall. Imagine Adam Ondra pushes hard and screams his way to the Top making some extreme knee-drops, and tops out one second faster.

In Speed, there will be new world records set in the qualification heat where two Speed specialists run neck on neck.

In bouldering, the setters create boulder where the climbers face the camera doing spectacular moves and the last guy out secure the win on the last boulder.

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
