This result is repeated, though to a lesser degree, in the men’s category. It is even more significant considering that Mori beat Noguchi in Lead in Hachioji, third place to fifth place. This is significant as Noguchi is the top ranked combined Japanese female competitor. Mori would defeat Noguchi, taking first prize. What is even more significant is that Mori would compete against qualified Olympian Akiyo Noguchi just this last week in B-Pump’s THE SIX competition. This would suggest that the Japanese Lead Climber has improved dramatically over this last year and may now be a stronger contender than Nonaka. Mori did not even make the top six positions in bouldering and yet, just last month, she would be the first-place champion, even beating out Nonaka. These results are significant especially considering that Ai Mori was most proficient, in Hachioji, in the Lead discipline. It is important to remember that this is a Bouldering Cup and not a Combined Championship, however, the individuals that stood atop the podium were not the expected Olympians, but in fact Ai Mori and Kokoro Fujii.
The event concluded on Januwith surprising results. For a greater discussion on the morality of the two positions, click here.Ī post shared by CLIMBERS reason that we are dredging up all of this old news up is due to the recent Bouldering Japan Cup Final. The JMSCA lost their appeal, and the IFSC determined that Harada and Nonaka would represent Japan in the upcoming Games. The winners of this internal competition would then join Narasaki and Noguchi as Olympic athletes. This would mean that Kai Harada and Miho Nonaka, who officially qualified at Hachioji, would have to battle it out against the other athletes from Japan that qualified at that competition. The JMSCA hoped to have an internal competition among their six other qualified athletes to determine who might best represent their country in the upcoming Olympic Games. By their argument, this rule should stand despite the fact that they had other athletes qualify. If no one had qualified, Team Japan would have been able to pick whomever they wished to fill the position. Due to the fact that Team Japan was allowed one male and one female position in the Olympic roster, regardless of placement, due to the fact that they were the hosting country, they believed that they should retain the right to choose who that athlete might be. The two organizations differed on the last two positions. Regardless of any advice you may receive while using this forum, it is your personal responsibility to make sure that you are fully trained to handle the great deal of risk involved in climbing and related activities.Due to their top-ranked positions, both the IFSC and the JMSCA agreed that Tomoa Narasaki and Akiyo Noguchi should retain their positions regardless of ruling.
