This news item could do with far less bold/italic words- it makes it completely unreadable. Even as non-native speaker am I able to find the important bits in a bit of text, don't need help for that.

To be fair to Neil, the runner was very successful at diverting his fall away from the mats so he could land squarely on the slab.

Aren't you trying to be a bit too PC, Mick. I mean highlighting two "comparably" mediocre female ascents? IMHO its E10s and people falling off E9s that'll attract the target audience.
