There were more Americans involved than ever. USA Climbing has been attempting to fundraise for athletes along with some athletes reaching out to the community with crowdfunding efforts. <br> The plan was to produce an episode after each of the World Cup competitions with analysis, feedback, and awe from myself, Jackie Hueftle, and anyone else I could wrangle worth speaking to about this season. I hope we lived up to the hype. We’re both already excited about next season where there will be 8 IFSC Bouldering Word Cups in new and existing cities, along with the World Championships held in Paris, France next year. <br> Show Notes for episode on 2015 World Cup Roundup:<br> <br> * A quick wrap-up of the semi-finals round with some serious upsets from the likes of Nathaniel Coleman (USA), GG Mondet (FRA), Adam Ondra (CZE), Dimitri Sharifudtinov (RUS), Miho Nonaka (JPN), Aya Onoe (JPN), and more<br> * How weather conditions and hold texture could’ve made a difference in finals with some of the first climbers out doing well in the round and the later climbers struggling more<br> * Notes on a couple heavy-hitting females (Shauna Coxsey (GBR), Megan Mascarenas (USA), and Akiyo Noguchi (JPN))<br> * We eventually stop beating around the bush and get into the structured problem by problem analysis<br> * The beta savvy skills of Martin Stranik (CZE)<br> * The experienced Alexey Rubstov (RUS)<br> * Jan Hojer’s (GER) struggling performance in the race for overall season podium against Jongwon Chon (KOR)<br> * The two girls who rocketed on the scene, Stasa Gejo (SRB) and Katja Kadic (SLO)<br> * Where Akiyo Noguchi (JPN) seemed to be having some un-characteristic troubles this comp<br> * What happened for Megan Mascarenas (USA) having trouble on the final problem<br> * What to look forward to next year including where the 8 World Cup events will be held<br> <br> Related Links for 2015 World Cup Roundup:<br> <br> * IFSC Website |<a href="http://ctclimbingpodcast.com/IFSCwebsite" target="_blank"> www.IFSC-Climbing.org</a><br> * The Circuit Climbing and Performance Magazine | <a href="http://ctclimbingpodcast.com/TheCircuitMagazine" target="_blank">www.TheCircuitClimbing.com</a><br> * <a href="http://ctclimbingpodcast.com/OnBoulderingwebsite" target="_blank">www.OnBouldering.com</a> | for great Bouldering World Cup coverage<br> <br> Related episodes for 2015 World Cup Roundup:<br> <br> * 2015 World Cup Roundup episodes from <a href="http://ctclimbingpodcast.com/ifsc-bouldering-world-cup-roundup-toronto-jackie-hueftle/" target="_blank">Toronto</a>, <a href="http://ctclimbingpodcast.com/2015-world-cup-roundup-vail-w-jackie-hueftle/" target="_blank">Vail</a>, <a href="http://ctclimbingpodcast.com/2015-world-cup-roundup-chongqing-w-jackie-hueftle/" target="_blank">Chongqing</a>, and <a href="http://ctclimbingpodcast.com/2015-world-cup-roundup-haiyang-china-ifsc/" target="_blank">Haiyang</a><br> * <a href="http://ctclimbingpodcast.com/shauna-coxsey-ifsc-climbing/" target="_blank">Ep.35 w/ Shauna Coxsey “To Be An Athlete”</a> (in between the Haiyang and Munich comps)<br> * <a href="http://ctclimbingpodcast.com/heiko-wilhelm-beyond-the-face-climbing/" target="_blank">Ep.36 w/ Heiko Wilhelm “Beyond the Face”</a> (Coach of Austrian Climbing Team &amp; Photographer)<br> * <a href="http://ctclimbingpodcast."></a>
