How do you judge competitive rock climbing? First to the top or extra are points given for taking a more difficult route?

I say the same thing about synchronised swimming.

 

[Steve Dore]

Probably something to do with the competitors' relative ability to climb rocks.

But how is that ability measured?

INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF SPORT CLIMBING RULES 2016

6.4 - Scoring

 

[Steve Dore]

I say the same thing about synchronised swimming.

There should definitely be points for artistic merit awarded in rock climbing.

Does anyone actually care?

ladder climbers are judged on the net value of their investment properties

 

[Doctor Feel]

Make it no harnesses and you can try to knock your opponent off on the way up. Might make a few more people watch it.

See, THIS is the shit that needs to be in the Olympics.

The Battle for Vinyl Mountain.

I can't stop giggling at the two poses that the gladiators are striking. The "i'm preparing to karate chop" and the "come at me bro"

Then give me the ****ing gold medal already.

The Boomer Olympics, with such events as "not hiring a millennial because they dress like a campaigner" and "holding onto the family house because I like living here"

I like the old Olympics where Christians and poor people got fed to the lions.

The real growly African lions not the Brisbane Lions.

Poor campaigners and Christian campaigners would have had a chance then.

If we can have 18,000 medals up for grabs between the sitting down sports (rowing, equestrian and cycling) which the UK have so successfully targeted, then we can easily fit in a medal for pursuits like surfing and rock climbing. A spread of medals across a more diverse range of sports is absolutely what the Olympics need to be targetting.

Bring on Olympic darts and the first to down a yard glass race I say (or even better combine the two)

I'm disappointed roller derby missed out for 2020. Still a chance for 2024 though.

My wife won a Gold Medal at the Australian University games for jug skolling competing against both men and women.

So marking your religion on a census form can change the constitution?

I'm tossing up whether to put Jedi or Pastafarian this time.

I had this realisation last night that every year in primary school (i finished in like 08) there was weekly religious ed classes. I was one of like 3 kids who didn't do it.

What the even. Retrospectively it weirds me out - do they still do that? Old people ITT with kids (gross) let me know. This was just regular non-religious branded public school.

"

“Bear in mind that although many Australians have no religion these days, the Muslim population in Australia will all declare that they are Muslim and this fact will be counted to ascertain what type of country we are in regard to religion,” the email states.

So really they're worried that the census will accurately represent Australia's view on religion.
