Fixing a crooked bar on the Salmon Ladder is harder than doing it correctly the first time. Also, who had the faster time on stage 1? Koji had 4.0 Seconds Left Washimi had 3.4 Seconds Left |

What happens if someone does it flawlessly where as someone else messes up, but both pass?
Neither got farther, but the one who messed up did more work to pass it.
I was just saying it takes more work to fix it. Don't treat it like an argument.

Yeah, but his run was worse even though he had to work harder. Just my opinion, not trying to start an arguement.

But just because someone's run is better doesn't mean they've gotten farther.
And I agree with you. I think. I don't know, it's been a long time since I saw 19.

Got a better one for you all would Washimi have CLEARED IT? Had all the pressure in the world at the time not been on his back IE last man standing and he will be responsible for history  his face at the start told the whole story. |

Doubt it. Despite the pressure on him, he was going well, but didn't appear to have the strength to make it all the way. On another day he may have made it up that final rung, but another day means a whole new set of circumstances.
As for who 'got further', obviously neither of them did. Technically, Yamada timed out instead of failing, but I count them as the same. I wouldn't discriminate between two runs that ended in the same place.

Thing is in his VT we saw he clearly had made a replica of it and was training hard at it and seemingly had it down, I just wonder if all this extra pressure under these extreme circumstances threw him.

Well, his Salmon Ladder had 3 rungs. It was a matter of endurance rather than technique.

Right, and I think he used too much strength in the first few rungs, because it took him two swings to get up each one.

His technique bothered me because he uses too much time and energy on each rung. Obviously in later tournaments did others show that you don't have to swing to charge your way up the ladder.

Yeah his technique was questionable anyway, so were all concluding then he was going to fail it no matter what!
IMO in honesty Koji was the best bet of the two to pass it I think and suprisingly to me anyway he couldn't do it I actually thought he would he had the rhythm but just seemed to lose it at the top after the slip.

Had all the pressure in the world at the time not been on his back IE last man standing and he will be responsible for history his face at the start told the whole story. Well he also had the same face @ the start of stage one in 19. In 18, he had a resemblence of tht face for stage 2. |
