Adam Ondra 3t12 4b12 Complete results Megan Mascarenas (17), is a strong young talent who flashed her first 8A when she was 14 years old. This spring she did her first 8A+. As a matter of a fact, Megan almost secured the victory midways in the event when she was first out on the third boulder, finishing it in her second try. © Eddie Fowke Jan hojer won the overall World Cup last year and this year he won the European Championship. He is also one of the guys bouldering the hardest outdoors. Nathaniel Coleman (18) was the runner up like last weekend, qualifying to the final last in. The route setting was excellent throughout the competition. With five Americans in the finals, our great sport is getting more global but currently only two of them are scheduled to compete in China in two weeks.
