"This is my practice for the Olympics", so honest lol can't wait for his Olympics commentary!!!

* After mentioning Natalia Grossman graduated college at 1:05:40 * Alex: "I dropped out of college so I could solo 5.10, and you're kinda like, what was I doing with my life..." Matt: "I think it worked out alright for you though" Alex: "I mean, I can get to do commentary, so that's cool" Savage Alex, poor Matt

So great to hear Alex Honnold!!Great final!! Oriane looked so nervious, maby anxiety...I hope she is ok

Chatted with Oriane after the final, she seems very excited and happy, chatting with people, celebrating🎉 Don’t worry friend!

I never imagined I would hear Alex Honnold say: 'I couldn't do that' 🤭 I really liked his commentary. And @SaVie: Thanks for the upload

Honnold has immense mental strength to climb moderatly hard climbs without a rope but he is very far off from the climbing skill and power of the worlds elite climbers.

@@christophh9477 I mean he also holds the speed record for The Nose and countless other accomplishments in Yosemite. He got the Piolet d'Or(!!) for the Fritz Traverse. Has done lots of first ascents, crazy link ups. Even without the soloing stuff he'd be considered one of the greatest. To say he isn't an elite climber LOL (hint: he is a not a sports climber)

@@christophh9477 To be comfortable on those moderatly hard climbs he has to have a reserve in tank in terms of technique and difficulty, and if you look up what he climbed you will see he is not so far off from top athletes

Love Alex commenting! Hen has so much respect for everyone else and is still one of the best in his profession. And he has a lot of the "strongest climbing muscle" .

I liked Alex’s aggressive “Why are we taking a pause?” After he realized he had another 40 minutes to stay.

never watched a bouldering event but it was really easy with alex and the other fellows commentary. the video quality is amazing too, suprised this video has low views its severely underated

Omg Alex’s commentary is GOLD!!! Finally some real reactions and accurate opinions, it’s SO REFRESHING to not be tip toeing around the evident truth of what’s going on. His understanding of climbing is just so much more advanced than lovely current dude’s and it helpsss. Obviously Alex can work on the PG language and phrasing of certain things but keep saying things how they are!! It’s amazing 😍😍😍 can’t wait for him to comment on the Olympics.

"Lovely current dude" is Matt groom, a 8B> climber and a journalist with many years of experience, but what do you know about climbing? Your comments are really out of place. Alex has viertually no experience with comp climbing, and If anything he is the rookie and un experienced guy here, although I agree his commentary was hillarious and refreshing.

I don´t think there is a reason to complain on any co-comentators, they were all on point. In contrary, Alex mumbling is a problem for many people outside US, when I heard him in semifinals I thouht to myself: somebody should tell him he is not talking to his bud in a climb pub, and remind him he is comentating a WCup

Alex: 'I didn't know Jason Statham was coaching rock climbing" :D :D :D

Boss moves with boss comentary. Excellent content.

Can someone explain to me why Oriane is second and Naile third when they both have the same results? :o

@LuizaSchu

The tiebreaker is based on the number of attempts to climb the boulder. So if an athlete flashes (topping the boulder on your first attempt) they will be placed ahead of someone with the same score.

@savie591

2 ай бұрын

Yeah, if 2 athletes get the EXACT same score and attempt they take the semi final rank Here in semis Naile finish es 6th and Oriane 2nd so Oriane takes the priority !

Very good comp, exquisit commentary, boulders were interesting, however thumbs down for W4 - too risky, injury menacing knee and foot. I was competing at boulder comps, but I would refuse to climb it, no win or position is worth a health hazard. I felt so sorry for Natalia, but she managed, hope she was doing well in the next days...

Unreal that they set up that final boulder to be as punishing on the right leg as possible when USA's top hope for olympic gold has a right leg injury. Event organizers should be ashamed, if that was a Japanese athlete in Japan I promise you they would be smart enough to protect their athlete's future.
