The technical nature of other world cups makes them pretty boring to watch. Maybe Teva could be a more spectator friendly world cup. It would be neat to see some U.S. setting at a world cup event.

Usually the bouldering team is lead by Jacky Godoffe and i suspect theyll send Francois Legrand and a team of drones out to the US for the routes. from what ive gathered the last few WC events paid about 4000 euro to the winner then half for each subsequent position, throughout the top six (?). for those trying in the bouldering event: start some tech training and make sure theres enough endurance as the last two years have proven that competing in the WCB event means that enduro climbing is as much a factor as raw power. the official WC event brings their own route setters, both for bouldering and routes.

Last year they advertised a 100,000 purse and climbing got 14,000 of that. I think the 100,000+ purse is for the other events too.
