Multiplication gets Mia Krampl to Tokyo

Mia Krampl had a poor start in the Combined final, ending #7 in both Speed and Boulder at the same time as her competitor for the Slovenian slot, Lucka Rakovec was #6 and #3. This meant that the only chance that Mia could get to Tokyo was winning Lead at the same time at Lucka was third. As Mia, who the last four comps had lost to Lucka, did just get 3/4 up the route, starting first, it did not look promising. Then Lucka got just one hold below Mia meaning the only miracle that could get her through was that another one equalled Lucka's score at the same time climbing faster. Furthermore, no other should beat, Mia's highpoint. Then Julia Chanouride did just that and as all the remaining four did not pass Mia's highpoint, the 19year-old got the Slovenian remaining Olympic ticket. Complete results X. Futaba Ito JPN 4 - 1 -7 = 28 1. Julia Chanourdie FRA 3 - 5 - 2 = 30 2. Mia Krampl SLO 7 - 7 - 1 = 49 X. Lucka Rakovec SLO 6 - 3 - 3 = 54 X. Ai Mori JPN 8 - 2 - 4 = 64 3. Iuliia Kaplina RUS 1 - 8 - 8 = 64 4. Kyra Kondie USA 2 - 6 - 6 = 72 5. Laura Rogora ITA 5 - 4 - 5 = 100 Noteworthy is that there were four girls tied on 31+ including also Ai Mori and Laura Rogora. If Laura had been the fastest, she would have been #2 overall instead of being #8 and dead last. If she would have gotten one move further, 32+ instead of 31+, she would have gotten 20 points and won overall! On the other hand, such a result for Laura had moved Krampl from #3 to being #8 and dead last! Furthermore, if the normal rules with countback to the previous round had been used then Julia Canourdie had moved from #2 to #7 and Ai Mori had advanced from #5 to #2. (Pointed out by JLH in the forum.) Adding the results instead of multiplying would have meant Lucka would have been #3 and Mia #7.

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
