Brooke topping that third boulder will put her in a really good place to clinch a medal!

I feel like I'm at some weird angle to the Zero Dawn remaster discourse because everyone's arguing over Aloy's face and I'm still agitating for her to have a proper boulderer's build

TERFS GO DIE SLOWLY

This blog, and sports as a whole (and yes that includes womens sports) has NO place for transphobia, kindly exit this blog, and get a better hobby than bigotry.

@thisonecassie’s hockey and climbing blog 🙂‍↕️

Ottawa homer (sens and PWHL), if Ottawa isn't playing then im rooting for whichever team has the most of my blorbos on it, and if neither team has any blorbos then i am rooting for the canadian team, and if no canadian teams are playing then I just hope everyone is having fun <3

I like a bunch of climbers, mostly women.... because well 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩, some of my faves are Janja Garnbret, Molly Thompson-Smith, Ai Mori, Jessie Pilz, Miho Nonaka, Chaehyun Seo, Laura Rogora, Brooke Raboutou, Aleksandra Mirosław, and Alannah Yip!

The tags I use (for my own posts) PWHL lb - all pwhl liveblogs team name lb - how i tag pwhl liveblogs pertaining to specific teams team abbreviation lb - is how i tag my NHL liveblogs ifsc lb - climbing liveblogs that are for any ifsc competition sport climbing lb - all my climbing liveblogs my writing - pretty self explanatory, posts about my fics. go see my writing blog @sharp-edges instead :) asks - when i get asks they go in this tag The tags i use for my own posts AND reblogs the girls are fighting - any fights fresh bait - pictures and gifs of players who are bruised, cut or bleeding. (if they are actively bleeding i will also tw tag for blood. BUT if you have issues with blood, please block fresh bait) (i also have a sideblog @fresh-bait and it's fighting, injuries and hits, also non-hockey things and sfx)

eventually i will go back and add number+initial tags to help me search my own blog better, but that is a job for summer (NEXT summer lmao.... that didnt happen) when hockey is over for the year. and im only writing this here so i have some small amount of social pressure to be true to my word

(every team who isn’t in the bottom two tiers I’d call myself a fan of/interested in, but be warned I am easily persuaded and I encourage you to try and make me a fan of your boys)

woah you scrolled this far, clearly you like hockey and reading... wanna join hockeyblr book club?

[starr-angelofnarnia]

Oh! But how could I forget to mention that Brooke took silver in women's sport climbing after just missing the podium in Tokyo. So proud of her.

All I wanna do is watch the Olympics. All I can think about is the Olympics.

Got to meet climbing legend and silver medalist Brooke Raboutou at US Nationals tonight!

[luvitsa]

My highlights from the Olympics 2024 (in chronological order)

Surfing: the elegance of the surfers when they catch a wave, seemingly defying all rules of gravity and force; the beautiful landscape of Tahiti and the fact that the local surfing community successfully prevented the construction of a new judging tower for the Olympics in order to protect the coral reef; the whale that chose to make an appearance at the end of the surfing competition

Julien Alfred of St. Lucia winning gold in the 100m race and silver in the 200m race, thus managing to secure the second place for St. Lucia in the medal count, if medals were counted not by absolute number of medals per country, but in relation to the population of each country (were medals counted that way, Dominica, with only 67,000 inhabitants, would be in first place, with Thea LaFond’s win in triple jump, who also won Dominica’s first ever Olympic medal)

During the women’s street cycling race: the group of cyclists who led the race for about two hours, consisting most notably of Fariba and Yulduz Hashimi, Afghan sisters who started racing while still in Afghanistan and fled from the Taliban in 2021, but also of Belarussian cyclist Hanna Zerach (who competed as part of the neutral team), Israeli cyclist Rotem Gafinovitz, Vietnamese cyclist Nguyễn Thị Thật (who was the first Vietnamese competitor in road cycling) and Slowakian cyclist Nora Jenčušová. The way they supported each other (Nora Jenčušová had to repair her bicycle chain, but before she stopped to do that, the other women tried to push her along) was so beautiful to see, and the composition of this group felt very meaningful: with female athletes from Afghanistan competing under the old Afghan flag and in defiance of every misogynist rule the Taliban are using to terrorize and oppress women, with Israeli athletes often having to deal with athletes who don’t want to compete with them, with Belarussian and Russian athletes being only allowed to compete under very specific conditions. It was my absolute favorite part of this race that they were able to lead the race for such a long time and draw attention to themselves, while also helping each other along, no matter and leaving aside the problems created and geopolitical lines drawn by megalomaniac politicians and the IOC.

Armand Duplantis setting the new pole vault world record, lovingly supported by his friends and colleagues Sam Kendricks and Emmanouil Karalis, who finished in second and third place

(I didn’t watch boxing, but Cindy Ngamba, from the Refugee Olympic Team, winning bronze in boxing – I was happy to hear that the Refugee Olympic Team won their first medal)

The several world records set during both men’s and women’s speed climbing qualifications, even though I still don’t understand how this climbing discipline was even invented. Like, finding out who is fastest in a race on the ground is kind of intuitive. Finding out who is fastest on a random climbing wall, maybe. But building a standardized climbing wall that people have to specifically buy or build all over the world if they want to train for this discipline and that discipline becoming a successful international competition – that seems like such a weird development.

Watching the sport climbing combined finals together with two boulder friends of mine and Janja Garnbret once again winning gold in the sport climbing competition: She won, but not as easily as in Tokyo, not with such a clear lead, and it was obvious that all these expectations had put her under a lot of pressure that fell off when she had finally climbed high enough to secure the gold medal. Her hug with Brooke Raboutou after the lead final and her visible relief. Poor Mori Ai struggling during the boulder section of the competition because of some starting distances, which led to her only getting fourth place, despite ending first in the lead section, but she hopefully has some other Olympic games ahead of her.

Breaking: I only managed to watch the men’s breaking competition. But. I loved the fun they had on stage. I loved the athleticism and to be introduced to a dancing style and culture I know nothing about. I loved that most of the interactions during the battles seemed so unserious, like they know how to not take themselves too seriously while acting very arrogant. The fact that in contrast to so many other sports, they were able to choose whatever clothing they feel comfortable in, and the fact that a few of them chose outfits without any sign of a national flag.

Athletics and bicycle road races remain my favorite traditional Olympic disciplines. The newer, unconventional disciplines like sport climbing, surfing and now breaking really managed to draw me in – if they hadn’t been part of these Olympic games, I probably would have watched stuff like swimming and gymnastics instead. The reason that I'm drawn to these particular disciplines is probably that athletics, cycling and sport climbing come closest to my own experiences with sports, while surfing and breaking are fascinating and amazing specifically because they are so far removed from anything I've ever done.

Finally got around to watching the women's boulder and lead finals today, and OH my GOD that was intense!

(I only watched the highlights, because even that is half an hour long and there's only so much time in the day)

Just. Mori Ai getting a low score in the boulder, only to almost finish the lead wall, getting a frankly absurd 96 points out of a possible 100 for that part of the event! The absolute devastation on the face of Oriane Burtone when she fell off the wall really early! The really solid performance by Brooke Raboutou, putting her in first place until Janja Garnbret comes along to just SMASH it and nail the gold medal score!

Oof. Tell you what, I reckon I'm gonna feel pretty inspired in the gym this week!
