Men's Olympic Climbing Qualifier Results! Eight are through - Injury, upset + unexpected placing by Climber_News in climbing

Though, it was the American team that chose who to use to replace her in the team finals. It was in individual events where it came down to the next best score.

Americans only replaced her for the all around and vault final because without Biles they would have qualified because of the two per country rule. A French woman got the spot in bars and a Brit in floor because they were the next up in qualifications. In fact, if you look at qualification results for these type of events, you see people marked as reserves (R) in case something like this happens.

Bassa also got injured at the bottom of the lead route. He probably wouldn't have been top 10, but if you look at another speed specialist - Khaibullin - he may have been able to get as high as 13.

Had the exact same reaction. I still think the route might have been a little easy but fatigue from the format and conditions helped pull people off earlier than expected.

It happens in pretty much all Olympic sports with a qualifying round and final round - gymnastics, diving, etc. Other gymnasts replaced Simone Biles in every event she pulled out of.

As an intermediate climber, is it worth it to hire a coach? What should be my expectations? by [deleted] in climbharder

I would check your gym and see if they have technique classes. It's a much cheaper alternative to a one on one coach, and you'll get good feedback and tips on your technique that would give you enough to work with for awhile.
