The guy can climb....black, yellow, brown or white. Good Lord, cant you show some restraint and intelligents....bet Kai can out climb rielly. Would be a cool gesture to delete that knucklehead comment, but I guess he has his rights too. Lightner would probably represent the US well in competition.
Peace

Shucks,
You boys might be coming down too hard on old Reiller about the dunking comment.
My wife is a basketball and sports addict so I watch tons of it. And I was wondering the same thing!
Face it, African-Americans have great genetics for athletics and dominate many sports. I don't think that's racist to point out that trend, either.
Anyhow, Ghost has a point in the OP.
Whether or not Kai has touched real stone isn't necessarily the point.
If Kai is currently considered the World Champion Rock Climber, it was likely decided indoors.
So that is a bit of a grab by the promoters and the competition body at large.
Perhaps the ranking rock climber is currently best established by resources such as 8a.nus vaunted Scorecard.
https://www.8a.nu/scorecard/ranking/
It says Adam Ondra is currently ranked #1.
As for USA climbers, Jonathan Siegrist is #4, Daniel Woods is #9, and, WTF ... Guido Princess is #70!
What kind of name is Guido Princess???

Okay, back to other Supertopo forum interests,
Prattling away with mountains of fellow old guys about inconsequential shit!

Oh yeah,
So, if Adam Ondra is the best rock climber ...
Who is the best trad climber???
Honnold?
Heck, we can't even decide what trad means.
Remember this gem:

So for now, by popular default, I'm going to have to go with best trad climber = Donini !!!
(only saying that to get a rise out of Jim)

Kai is a good kid. He is gifted, and his mother is fully supporting him WELL outside of the activities that are the usual lines of pursuit for kids his age where they live - as mentioned in one of the videos.
This thread is just Meh, but I learned some things about certain people.
Edit: vv Just stop.

I think African-Americans could do anything well if only first given an opportunity to do so.
