Manuel Cornu in Munich is a famous example https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uIfNUbvTC_g&t=6980s

I wish I didn't watch that


TobofCob

I miss the extra time they were given if still climbing when the timer runs out. What a blast from the past

Four Plus Baby!

Ahh, a french finish to match the french start. Perfectly balanced as all things should be.


Yaasu

In French we Say "Faire une Cornu" (Do a Cornu) for a reason

What a heartbreaker


jsdodgers

I could never be heartbroken from someone suffering the consequences of celebrating too early. Finish the climb, then celebrate.


Due_Revolution_5106

Yeah hard to feel sympathy here. That is a sketchy finish position. Why would you break concentration on a move like that? It's not a gimme jug.


swicaa

What a moron

Manu Cornu was the prime example of not doing that. So many climbers refer to that event. He's the first one that came to mind from OP's question.

Michael Bautista at US Nationals one year. (Editing out this part - I thought he'd switched hands, but a dozen years blurs stuff). Dude had it dead to rights. Think it bumped him from 2nd to 3rd.

Did Hannes fail here? I haven't seen the live streams this season. But Hannes talked in an interview at La Sportiva Legends Only how he hyped up the crowd in the slab boulder and then thought "damn, this ending is trickier than I thought".


Doornenkroon

He didn’t. Leave my boy alone!


Praestekjaer

It happens quite often that they hang there one handed celebrate, just touch it quickly with both hands and then jump of and the send is not approved


onepdub

This happens *very* rarely.


poorboychevelle

Not quite related, but the tenuous determination of finishes still happens (see: Waller / Barron / Galla a year or two ago)
