Who will make it to Tokyo from Toulouse

The Toulouse Olympic qualification starts November 28th and here is the 8a speculation who will make it. Among the male, no Boulder specialist have been listed simply because of Team Japan, although no one can qualify, is sending four Boulder specialists. This means that it will be much harder to get a good ranking in Boulder compared to in Lead. At the same time, as the Japanese are also very good at Speed they will, in general, get a high ranking overall meaning that most probably being Top-10 will be good enough. This will open up for possibly two Speed specialists qualifying to Tokyo. The ones suffering the most that the Japanese are allowed to compete are the boulder specialists that are also good Speed climbers like Jan Hojer and Manuel Cornu. Furthermore, as Jernej Kruder and Aleksei Rubtsov do not yet know if they can make it, the odds are against them. 1. Adam Ondra - Lucka Rakovec 2. Bassa Mawem - YiLing Song 3. Alberto Gines Lopez - YueTong Sang 4. Stefano Ghisolfi - Jain Kim 5. Sasha Lehmann - Julia Chanourdie 6. Alfian Muhammed - Anouck Jaubert Among the female, only two from Japan will compete at the same time there might be five Speed specialists. This will open up for the ones being relatively weak in Speed. At the same time, it is expected that both Slovenia and France and possibly also the USA will fill their country quota. This means that it just might be good enough to be Top-12 to get the Olympic ticket. In theory, it just might be three Speed specialists going to Tokyo.

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.
