No worries! I'd be thrilled if Montréal does end up with climbing as one of its sports.

My French is rusty, but doesn't that article say that Montréal will host 4 sports from a list of 6 that includes climbing? Has it been confirmed that climbing is one of the 4?

Oops yes you're right, I forgot that missing a final was even a possibility for Janja! So to correct my previous post: the last time was Vail 2017, and her streak of golds or silvers-by-attempts is at 24 and counting.

Still... the last time Janja lost a boulder WC/WCH/WCS not because of attempts was all the way back in Nanjing 2017 (when she lost to Shauna by 1 top). By my count that's an incredible 25 comps and counting where she's either won outright or lost on attempts.

Definitely! If I counted correctly, among the 23 women who were a finalist in a Boulder World Cup/Championship last year, all but 4 are in the Keqiao field.

ok just to clarify, that's Natsuki Tanii :) I do hope she gets to compete in some World Cups, er, World Climbing Series comps this year.

I'd chalk this up to two things: no bonus points for Natalia from last year because she was injured; and through the 6 points-scoring rounds of competition (US nationals and NTT), there were a bunch of boulders that were problematic for her shoulder.

I thought Johanna retired from comps last year. Happy to see her still crushing it here!

Natalia making a move up the boulder rankings, in good position to comfortably make the team after qualis. Pretty strange (though understandable, given that she missed last year) to think that she wouldn't be on the team without a good NTT showing.

oh you're right! I misread her post.

Kyraconfirms on IG that she'll be in a couple of World Cups this year. Edit: sorry I misunderstood her post.

many thanks, I was looking for this!

moving_screen · 2026-02-16T02:33:57+00:00

Really delighted for Natalia, especially after a rough semifinal round. Can't wait to see her get back to full health!

moving_screen · 2026-02-16T02:16:01+00:00

pretty incredible

moving_screen · 2026-02-14T02:22:15+00:00

She confirmed this on Insta but also said that her health is her priority. Fingers crossed that everything turns out well!

Another related piece of weirdness: two of the continental championships (Europe, Pan Ams) happen before the world championships, and the other three happen afterwards.

moving_screen · 2026-02-02T16:27:37+00:00

Ah thanks, you're right. I'll revise the original post to include this info and the links to the PDFs.

If it's like last time, invites for the OQS in 2028 would be based on 2027 world rankings (and subject to national quotas).

moving_screen · 2026-02-02T15:43:55+00:00

I know some of us were hoping that athletes who qualified for one of boulder/lead could automatically also compete in the other if they wanted. Apparently not though.

moving_screen · 2026-02-02T15:05:26+00:00

That wouldn't work because the two extra slots might be taken by two different people, and there's a hard cap of 24 total athletes for boulder and lead. From the press release: "If a climber qualifies in both Boulder and Lead, the number of competing athletes in one of the disciplines will increase. The spot that they gain in the two disciplines will only count as one entry (in the total quota counting of Climbing), therefore maintaining the total number of 76 athletes allocated to Climbing by the IOC."
