Amazingly, Shauna did it again and took gold for her second time!

What's Basil Brush got to do with it?!?

Well done Shauna. Keep it up!

In reply to LionSJH:

I remember several years ago being at Awesome walls in Liverpool when Shauna was climbing with her friend on an adjacent route to me and I was gobsmacked while they were climbing and chatting about what clothes they were going to get for their Bratz or Barbie dolls for xmas - route grade was 6b or something. I felt very old but well done

In reply to UKC News:

Great news, has this been reported in the main stream media anywhere? (It ought to be.)

In reply to UKC News:

Great news!
Having watched some of the footage - noticed that Shauna and Adam got penalised for something seemingly completely minor when starting a problem. Couldn't see myself what it was and in Ondra'a case did it lose him the gold? He didn't seem too pleased about it.
What were their infringements?

In reply to toasted:

Think it was they both didn't have two feet on the marked start hold (both had one foot and the other flagged out).
Yes, think Ondra would've won (same tops in attempts, fewer attempts for the bonuses).

In reply to UKC News:

Adam talks about what happened on 8a.nu

In reply to zapal:

What a guy

In reply to UKC News:

The problems looked amazing, does anyone know who the setters were?

In reply to UKC News:
Rustam's fight at 45 minutes is awesome!!

The 4 minutes is up so he can't fall off and try again.

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

It was a pleasure to be there and watch Rustam on that boulder. He got a standing ovation from everyone inside the barrier

KerBOOOM

In reply to UKC News:

Did any one spot the stage invasion right at the end and the guy promptly taken to the ground by security?

In reply to toasted:

Shauna made the same mistake as Ondra; didn't start with her foot on the foot hold before moving.
