Unfair rules decide the Slovenian Olympic ticket

Lucka Rakovec did climb faster than Mia Krampl in all the three rounds in Speed. Then in Boulder, Lucka was totally superior doing all three boulders at the same time Mia did just get one zone. In total, Lucka got 2 + 5 + 3 moves longer in the three boulders. Then in Lead Lucka recached 31+ and Mia 32. Clearly, it must be obvious for all including Mia Krampl that Lucka Rackovec is a better Combined climber although the IFSC multiplication ranking list says the opposite. Personally I think the word "Combined" means adding the results in all disciplines like it is done in all other Combined sports. Adding the results then Lucka Rakovec would have been #3 in the ranking and Mia Krampl #7! On the other hand, Mia is a Lead specialists who got the silver in the World Championship in Hachioji. During the Boulder final it seemed like she had a back problem. She must have known that her chance to get the ticket was, first of all, to win in Lead and she adopted to that an executed perfectly.

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
