Last Sunday, during the final in Chongqing, Jongwon Chon had to climb M4 twice, since the first time he didn’t match properly. Identifying the top hold is quite easy, but in the heat of the moment, anyone can make a costly mistake. Let’s analyze what happened with Chon and the top of M4.



Update: Looks like Keita Watabe also matched incorrectly and he still has the top in the results. But it doesn’t affect the ranking. Thanks to Wijkert for pointing it out in the YouYube comment section!



And if you wanna know more about the IFSC rules, check out this post and video that cover a related incident from last season, in which Martin Stranik didn’t get a bonus (but it looked as if he deserved it).

And here’s the replay of the final:
