Luzรกn Matyi - Egy pรกratlan mรกszรณ egyedรผlรกllรณ metรณdusa
Matyas Luzan 2014-ben kezdte a megszรกllott edzรฉseket az Action Directe 9a รบtรฉrt, motivรกciรณja รฉvrล‘l รฉvre egyre emberfelettibb erล‘ tulajdonosรกvรก teszi รฉs ismerve Matyit a Dรกvid รฉs Gรณliรกt harca sem biztos hogy olyan sokรกig fog mรกr tartani. 2015 szezonban Matyi lesรฉrรผlt a projektelรฉs elsล‘ napjรกn, de รฉpรญtkezett a hibรกkbรณl รฉs a motivรกciรณja sem lett kevesebb. Tavaly Matyi egy teljesen รบj lรกbfejezล‘s bรฉtรกt talรกlt ki a kรถzรฉpsล‘ szekciรณra, ami csรถkkenti a mozdulatok szรกmรกt, kihagyva az egyik kulcs egyujjas fogรกst. Jelenleg Matyi megszรกllottan edz a teremben, van hogy 10 รณrรกn keresztรผl vereti, erejรฉrล‘l szรกmos nemrรฉgiben napvilรกgot lรกtott videรณ tanรบskodik. Egy edzรฉs alatt megmรกszta utcai cipล‘ben a Komjรกti 8A bouldert, illetve prezentรกlรณdnak a 8A-8B boulderek szรฉp szรกmmal. Video doing Moonboard's up to 8B. "Jelenleg 10 รณrรกt tรถltรถk a teremben รฉs prรณbรกlom kihozni a legjobb formรกmat. Mit mondhatnรฉk... egyszerลฑen imรกdom. ลszintรฉn szรณlva ez arrรณl is szรณl, hogy el kell tudni jutni a fรกjdalomig, de azรฉrt ez nem olyan dramatikus mint amilyennek hangzik. Teljes รฉlvezet, mรกszni mรกsokkal, mรกszni egyedรผl meg ilyesmik. " Matyi terve, hogy hamarosan รบjra nekiรกll az AD megรฉpรญtett falรกn valรณ gyakorlรกsnak. Mรกjusban pedig 8b legnehezebb kรถteles megmรกszรกssal Matyi elindul Nรฉmetorszรกgba, az Action Directe alรก sรกtorfรกt ver รฉs addig le sem bontja mรญg meg nem mรกssza, vรกrva a legjobb kondรญciรณkra. Ha ez sikerรผl az vilรกgrekord lesz abbรณl a szempontbรณl, hogy mรฉg soha senki nem ugrott ekkorรกt a fokozatokban, lรกsd 8b -> 9a. Bennem szรกmos kรฉrdรฉst felvet mรฉg, mi fog tรถrtรฉnni Matyi motivรกciรณjรกval ha sikerรผlne elejteni a nagy vadat รฉs hasonlรณk...de remรฉlem erre majd a megmรกszรกs utรกn visszatรฉrhetek. Matyival telefonkontaktban leszek a projektรกlรกs alatt, รญgy elsล‘ kรฉzbล‘l jรถnnek majd az infรณk. ;-) De a fenti kรฉpre visszatรฉrve: "Ez egy kรถnnyebb megoldรกs, HA elรฉg erล‘s vagy, kellล‘en hajlรฉkony รฉs tรถkรฉletes paramรฉtereid vannak ehhez a fogรกs-lรฉpรฉs pozรญciรณhoz." 8a interview from 2015

8B+ in Font by Melissa Le Nevรฉ
Melissa Le Nevรฉ, the retired World Cup climber who was #3 in the Boulder WC last year, reports on Instagram that she has done her first 8B+, Mรฉcanique ร‰lรฉmentaire in Fontainebleau. (c) Fabian Buhl "Today I was able to send my hardest climb on the paper but mostly my hardest challenge in terms of reachy moves and mental side! After falling a while on the very last move I finally could stand on the top of "Mecanique Elementaire" 8b+."

Two 8c onsight and a 9a by Adam Ondra
Adam Ondra reported yesterday on Instagram with a picture by Javi Pec from a failed onsight attempt of Directa Cornualles 8c in Siurana that he has been sick in beds for some days. "Since then I have been recovering, but I am not back in the shape where I would like to be (and was). Sad to be almost leaving with all my projects untouched, but they will not run away." Anyway, Adam had time to redpoint Fabelita R2 9a and onsight two 8c's in Sadernes, Milenium and Magin el Mago. In total, the 24 year old has recorded 81 routes onsight 8c and harder which can be compared with the runner-ups who have done like a handful. He also did a "retro-onsight" of Le Concepte integrale 8c+. "I had tried the first 8b+ part 8 yrs ago."

Three 8c's by Laura Rogora (15)
Laura Rogora has during the last week done three 8c's including the FA of Ercole bolted by Cesare Giuliani in Collepardo. Yesterday she did the chipped route Crazy Horse skipping one of the chipped holds. To make the 15 year old's ascent event more impressive, she did it second go. (c) Lorenzo Russo "I understood all the moves quite quickly. I had to try a few times only one move because I didn't reach one chipped holds so I had to find another method on natural holds.

IFSC have decided that only the Top-6 will qualify to be in the finals in the Olympics. "For the Speed Final the concept of โ€œLucky loserโ€ (7ยฐ and 8ยฐ ranked Athletes in the 1/8th finals) applies, as a quota of 6 does not allow the duel system." As the "Lucky Loser" has nothing to win, this system could create a sportsmanship dilemma as many of the athletes are friends. It might just be that the "Lucky Loser" competing against a good friend, who could get a medal, will not give 100 %. Further more, if a "Lucky Loser" makes it to the final or bronze final, such a run is of no interest for the competition. In fact, it would actually be smarter for a Top-6 finalist to go a bit slow in order to save energy. (We assume that the Combined ranking will only be based on the results of the Top-6.) Imagine how strange it would be for any of the 12 finalists, a hundred commentators and tens of millions of spectators to follow such a Olympic Speed final, where some athletes will not go 100 %. The simple solution for this is to include Top-8 to the final. Alternatively, have three lanes of Speed routes, where the two fastest qualify to the semifinals.
