While I wish that last video involved Vasya crushing the final problem and taking the win, it doesn't. However, it is a fantastic example of time management during an onsight comp. This is hard to teach to kids, and is usually learned over time. Mostly the part involving ignoring the crowd that's screaming for you to get back on the problem so that they can have a show. A climber needs to shut that out and listen to their body so that they have the energy to get to the top, because that's not only how to win, but how to give the crowd the best show possible.
