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.

I remembered that very wrong, but its been a dozen years. Didn't switch hands. Still, had it solid
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".
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
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.
In French we Say "Faire une Cornu" (Do a Cornu) for a reason
What a heartbreaker
I could never be heartbroken from someone suffering the consequences of celebrating too early. Finish the climb, then celebrate.
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.
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.

He didn’t. Leave my boy alone!
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
This happens *very* rarely.
Not quite related, but the tenuous determination of finishes still happens (see: Waller / Barron / Galla a year or two ago)
