Competing for Great Britain will be Shauna Coxsey and Nathan Phillips.

Shauna is currently ranked in 1st place in the IFSC World Cup and hopefully she can continue to climb well to maintain this position - good luck Shauna!

Anyone know the maths of the point system? With Akiyo Noguchi seemingly currently in unstoppable form how likely is it that Shauna can hold her off. Would two more second places for Shauna be enough or does Noguchi need to slip up? This and one other round to go, right?

You can drop one score so effectively Shauna is 15 points ahead of Akiyo. 100 points for 1st place, then 80, 65, 55, 51, 47 so Shauna needs to beat Akiyo in one of the remaining 2 events, unless they both have bad results.

Cheers. I've been enjoying watching the comps online. Happy to see a Brit winning but I can't quite bring myself to *not* support any of the other competitors. I just like watching the fantastic bits of climbing from whoever is on the wall.

I've been at every event apart from the current one, it is a real privilege to watch :-)

The calculation is here: http://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/world-competition#!type=ranking&cat=ICC_FB&cup=14_WC&detail=1 I worked out some permutations but Graham has expressed it much more concisely.
