Hojer and Wurm European Bouldering Champions

Jan hojer, winner of 2014 World Cup season, barely made it to the Top-20 for the semifinal, where a flash of the last problem put him at #4 for today's final. Juliane Wurm was tied #15 in the qualifications but then she won the semifinal and the final just like she did last year when she became World Champion. Complete results © Eddie Fowke 1. Jan hojer 2t3 4b5 - Juliane Wurm 3t4 4b4 2. Adam Ondra 2t6 3b10 - Anna Stöhr 3t7 4b8 3. Stefan Scarperi 1t5 2b6 - Katharina Saurwein 1t1 3b3 4. Jakob Schubert 1t6 3b7 - Monika Retschy 1t1 3b7 5. Martin Stráník 0t 4b11 - Jessica Pilz 1t2 2b3 6. Alexsey Rubtsov 0t 4b16 - Mina Markovic 1t7 2b8 It's worth noting that Jan and Jule are among the best boulderers on rock and that they have been a couple for some years now, just like the last Euro Champions Anna Stöhr and Kilian Fischhuber.
