Looks like there was some drama after the #climbing events in the #olympics that I wasn't aware of. I do agree route setters may have been a bit sketchy, and I did felt bad for Mori being so short, but I guess it was about style, and in the next Olympics, boulder and lead will be sepparated which is great, boulders aren't solved the same way as lead.In conclusion:"You send, or you bend. Over" xDThis won't stop me from complaining though, I'm short too lolhttps://youtu.be/RN5DhAruF3k?si=zaGayg3ekMOGXKwl
