This serious injury now confirmed Bassa Mawem in an interview with France.TV - a participation in the final of the best eight sports climbers on this Thursday is thus impossible, rather the 36-year-old will be about half a year.
Place 1 in the Speed: Bassa Mawem presents powerful
The qualification for Bassa Mawem had started perfectly in speed climbing, with 5.45 seconds for the 15-meter wall, he set a strong Olympic record. The speed specialist had the final with this occurrence due to multiplying all placements in the speed, bouldering and lead climbing. So far so good.
Place 1 in bouldering: Mickael Mawem puts Bärenstark
The top result was then the top result then from his younger brother Mickael Mawem, the Just on his 31st birthday in the bouldering caught a creamy - and even the Boulder World Champion Tomoa Narasaki from Japan left behind him. With scary a lot of self-confidence and as much dynamic, he kept three of four boulder problems, two of them even as a flash, so with the first attempt. A shock for the competition was above all his appearance of Boulder 2, where all other athletes previously reached to Dav climber Alex Megos did not even reach the zone handle attached to the center of the wall. Mickael Mawem was able to look back with place in bouldering and 3rd place in the Speed as well as relaxed the safe final feed as his brother Bassa. So far so good.
Lead: Shock and Biceps crack with handle 7
But then the shock followed. When climbing (Lead) grabbed Bassa Mawem relatively relaxed to handle 7 and wanted to pull up as the complete biceps muscle of the upper left arm clearly clearly tilted and the Frenchman from the lower part of the wall tipped. Immediately he took himself to the damaged arm and immediately set the same as well as sobering diagnosis. "I think I tore the biceps." So far, so incredibly bitter.
No recruiting procedure in the final - four two duels to sieve?
Despite the last place in the Lead, Bassa Mawem has moved into the final as a seventh place. The regulations do not provide for a reverse procedure of other athletes for a breach of injury. Otherwise the Erlanger Megos would be the profiteer of Bassa Mawem's injury. However, since the Speedfinale is scheduled on Thursday in several excretory duels between each two climbers, this mode could not be maintained in a field of only seven starters. Unless Bassa Mawem's opponent in the Speedfinale, the Czech Adam Ondra has a freewo, which would have a touch of competition distortion in view of the multiplication method of all individual results.
Especially at the Olympic Premiere of Sport Climbing this would certainly be a good solution in the sense of sport.
