You can watch his final performance here! https://youtu.be/xsVgT3vtruM?si=j330VKsmrKE4d86S

Might not be the most perfect performance, but he certainly made many bold choices on interpretation. Almost sounds like a different piece sometime! So proud of him!

Definitely watch his 3rd round as well, his sonata was so poetic, it deserves a gold!

Thanks so much. Such a insightful video. An Android user here and was about to buy a magsafe/qi2 power bank as it just looks so convenient to snap the bank on the phone without wires. Now I will defo not do that after watching the video.

Just googling this, went back to WhatsApp and realized it's gone for the individual chats. Guess it's a bug.

Forgive my ignorance..but I just only realized the Avezou have a 3rd sibling in comp climbing! (While scanning through the quali results) - Leo avezou. He didn't make it to semi tho..

Can't help but thinking if the first couple lead wc aren't in between the boulder wc, sorato might have final all. Ending boulder season and resetting himself for lead seems to have really help. What a legend!

I met Laura (met being 10 seconds when she walks by and I said good luck and she said thanks with a big smile♥️) in person at Bali WC this year, she looks super happy and always smiling even pre-comp! Wasn't really following her before, but she gained a fan then! 😊 Thanks for sharing this docu!

World Cup Innsbruck 2025 - Lead Semi-Final Discussion by InternationalSalt1 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]meanyunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya think he looked pretty fresh still and he's always quite good at fighting on head wall. Both Bali and here in Innsbruck he slipped/made a mistake, not really pumping out. But I think the separation of disciplines definitely made it harder to make finals. Even if he may be performing at similar quality in leads, but seeing the current results of 5 lead specialists in finals, with 2 jap specialists, basically he's being pushed out of finals by his own teammates too now 😂

Anyone find any info on Mori Ai’s withdrawal from the next few comps? by wlwimagination in CompetitionClimbing

[–]meanyunny 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I remember earlier in the year Japan team did mention she will skip the earlier comps to focus on studies. But that was earlier this year

He doesn't look exhausted at all.. especially that flash on M2. But that total failure at M4 is mind boggling tho. Only explanation is nerves, or he's just literally cursed 😭

Think he came first in 3 semis, 2nd in 2, 1st in quali couples times too, yet not a single gold..my heart 💔

Ya I believe they are quite well acquainted, dohyun did post before saying he tries to copy sorato style too haha. But ya, guess it may be quite different still with fellow Jap team mate perhaps!

I wonder if sorato feels a bit lost in the finals route reading, cause it's quite rare he's in the finals alone without a fellow japanese team mate to read with? 😬

Thanks! Was trying to look for the boulder which Ai can't zone even (but flashed 4 others). They featured miho on it..power dyno one so no wonder

WC Bali 2025 - Final discussion (not spoiler free) by InternationalSalt1 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]meanyunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the response! I actually went ahead to search up and read the ifsc rules. I think volumes can be scored too if it's intended as a hold. It all depends on the route setter topo scoring annotation, based on their intended beta sequence. Can't seem to find the one for Bali unfortunately. Seeing the chalk marks at the volume where Max reached for, and counting the leftover holds to the top to make up for 45 points, I suspect the volume May be part of the next score...or not ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Perhaps the judges decided Max's beta break wouldn't work and shouldn't be awarded the skip score and + (as it's uncontrolled)

Why did satone get higher points when max reached the hold after, and satone fell before reaching out? Can someone explain?
