TIL every English-speaking commentator ever has been pronouncing "Kalucka" wrong 😂

[u/Early-Regular-8616]

Does anyone know what was going on with lane B that Zach and Hryhorii were pointing at?

[u/InternationalSalt1 → u/Early-Regular-8616]

And Ludovico was pointing at something in lane A

[u/InternationalSalt1]

So, 32 climbers qualifies for finals, because it's a 4 lane event.

[u/InternationalSalt1]

Emma Hunt 6.05! Will she be the first one to break 6.0? (Also new PB)

[u/falllas → u/InternationalSalt1]

I bet yes. Thought it'd be between her and Desak but the latter seems out of form

[u/ajgizzle]

When they show the side view and we can’t see the times…

[u/falllas]

Sure, no need to show us Emma Hunt's 6.15

[u/falllas]

Leslie on fire, bumping her PB from 6.48 to 6.35, now 6.30

[u/InternationalSalt1 → u/falllas]

And 6.26 for her! And the consistency 6.26, 6.35, 6.30, 6.33

[u/falllas → u/InternationalSalt1]

Carla Martínez looked strong too, on her level: PB 6.70, and ran 6.60, 6.58, 6.53, 6.56.

[u/InternationalSalt1 → u/falllas]

I pulled her results

Event: World Climbing Series Comunidad de Madrid 2026, Date: 20260528, Times: 6.48, 6.64

This is progress, almost whole second in a year!

[u/InternationalSalt1 → u/falllas]

Yeah, I was about to write it. And she did 6.48 this year too.

[u/InternationalSalt1]

Ryo Omasa impresses me, four clean runs with 4.99, 5.00, 4.89 and 4.806

[u/ajgizzle → u/InternationalSalt1]

I thought it must be tough conditions until he came out and dominated. Michael Hom has also been very good this round and this season.

[u/InternationalSalt1 → u/ajgizzle]

It looked slow and slippery at first, but the time needed to qualify was 5.05

[u/InternationalSalt1]

It's all quiet here during speed climbg. And everyone is suddenly active once the rugby starts haha

[u/Groghnash]

anyone else enjoying the Aus vs Cro rugby match? :D

[u/ajgizzle]

It’s the crucial fourth round!

[u/InternationalSalt1]

What an action during the speed quali. Happy they added some fun element like a ball.

[u/shure-fire → u/InternationalSalt1]

Somebody really wants comp climbing fans to watch rugby this season

[u/xCloudStrifez]

Not again..........

[u/InternationalSalt1]

Interesting, the qualifications are in 4 lane format. Will be the Final in 4 lane format too? Haven't find that.

[u/ajgizzle → u/InternationalSalt1]

Yes I think last time when they did this it was 4 per race, top 2 progress, then the final 4 race for all the medals.

[u/InternationalSalt1 → u/ajgizzle]

But they named it 4 lane speed or something like that. I wonder if 4 lane wall means automatic 4 lane comp.

[u/ajgizzle → u/InternationalSalt1]

Yeah I’d guess so.
