shame that michaela tracy had a face on her on the podium for the seniors

but overall a great couple of days had by juniors seniors and vets...good effort to all involved

If you'd trained as hard as the competitors in that event and put your heart and soul into it you'd understand her disappointment.
Add to this that fact she is very young, these competitions and disappointments associated with them are often hard to take with a smile.
Please show some respect for this girl as she climbed wonderfully on day and deserves to be praised and acknowledged for that only.
I'm glad you had a good couple of days and look forward to hopefully seeing you there next year.

oh dont get me wrong, i truely appreciate the effort these climbers put in, but i dont agree with her behaviour before and during the awards ceremony. i overheard one guy ask if she was sponsored, obviously wondering if they were around to witness such a strop.

as far i as i could see her gripe was that she wasnt given a + score on her final route cos she argued that she did touch that certain hold even tho the judge supreme that was tony powell disagreed. from the overall scores anyway she would have ended up with 3rd whether or not she held that certain hold...so as she had no chamce of being champ or 2nd she could have looked pleased with 3rd....tho she did give every1 a good chuckle

Raised a similar question myself on the mens first route after touching the last hold, but it only counts if you touch the USABLE part of the hold....
