Very exciting final to watch for both men and women. It was so close I think Ondra would've won if he'd just stuck the finishing hold on the last problem. I thought Nathaniel Coleman was very impressive in climbing consistently well throughout the comp and along with Levier it will be interesting to see how they do in Vail this weekend.
The women's was very close and it was interesting to see Miho Nonaka do so well again. She definitely looks like one of the strongest women climbers at the moment and so young still, interesting to see how she develops.
It was also cool to see the slab problems being a key part of winning making technique important and not just raw power.
The commentary was just about acceptable but far too much ad-libbing, it was obvious the guy didn't really know what he was talking about. Fine for non climbing viewers but I suspect there are very few of those watching these events. Definitely a mistake that they didn't hang onto Daniel Finn for commentary who I thought was much better and so knowledgeable you would easily think he was a climber himself.
Looking forward to Vail which will hopefully see a return of the Russians too.
