Ondra benefits from the tight schedule

The semi and the final will take place tomorrow for both gender. This means that meanwhile the female had a rest day, the male will compete two days in a row. The male isolation opens 10.45 and then it is a full day of preparation and competing, finishing with medal ceremonies around 22.00. Adam Ondra topping out all five boulders in just six tries means that he saved some energy. The day after tomorrow, the WCH continues with the Lead qualification in between 10 - 20 for both the male and the female. Then the following day, semi and final in Lead. Then there will be one rest day before the Combined WCH take place where the athletes will do all three disciplines followed by a rest day and then all three disciplines again. As anyone can understand, qualifying to the Olympics will be an endurance challenge where these athletes might have to do 21 boulders, 6 routes and around six Speed runs. In practice this means that the guys with a excellent endurance will benefit from the tight schedule, especially if you saved as much energy as possible in the first bouldering qually like Adam Ondra.

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
