Anak Verhoeven won her second WC in 2016 in great style finishing just a couple of moves before the top of a great route. Akiyo Noguchi, #4 in the Boulder WC, was the runner up six moves behind Anak in just her second appearance in Lead this year. Janja Garnbret, the 17-year-old world champion who had already secured the overall title, was third. More pictures and full story by Eddie Fowke. As for the men, Sebastian Halenke won his first event and saved the route setters by climbing two thirds of the route. He said that it was the hardest competition route he had ever climbed. Both in qualifications and semis there was a record number of tops which probably made the route setters increase the difficulty in the final. Unfortunately, and probably because of the stressful atmosphere created by 5 000 spectators, almost all competitors feel on the same move. However, as Domen Skofic was second and won overall together with his girlfriend Janja Garnbret, the home crowd seemed very pleased anyhow. 1. Sebastian Halenke GER 37 - Anak Verhoeven BEL 47 2.
