First 8c+ by Julia Chanourdie (19)
Julia Chanourdie, #11 in the last year's Lead World Cup, reports on Facebook, "Last saturday I toped my first 8c+ "L'Avaro" in Tetto di Sarre in Italy. It's a first female ascent. Video coming soon!" Tetto di Sarre is probably one of the most chipped crags in the world and in fact it is located in a quarry.

The semi live streaming starts at 13 but it will take place without Jan Hojer, Rustam Gelmanov, Jakob Schubert and some other higher-ranked climbers, as Verhoeven and Hori. Among the female, there are no big sensations.

Excellent routesetting and a brilliant show where seven female topped out all four Boulders. There were also two male to achieve it, Sean McColl and Jongwon Chon.

Chon & Coxsey win in Innsbruck
Great show took place in Innsbruck, where we could see Shauna Coxsey winning her fourth World Cup in 2016, meanwhile the overall winner from last year, Jongwon Chon, got his first victory. Giving credit to the route setters, it should be mentioned that all 36 problems throughout the event were topped out. The Swedish national coach, Reino Horak, says that he has never been on a better organized and more exciting climbing competition where the DJ created the perfect background. - When Chongwon matched on the micro hold where other could not even hold with it one hand, the audience got crazy :) With just two events left, Shauna will become the overall champion if she makes it to the podium in one of them even if Miho Nonaka wins the last two. Among the male, at least six have chances for the overall title and in theory, actually 15 still have the possibility. Results are presented below with semi results in brackets. 1. Jongwon Chon (2) - Shauna Coxsey (6) 2. Tomoa Narasaki (5) - Janja Garnbret (5) 3. Sean McColl (1) - Miho Nonaka (2) 4. Roland Rugens (6) - Megan Mescarenas (3) 5.

Interesting is that many of the highest-ranked male actually were pretty low-ranked in 2015. Furthermore, only two of the Top-8 male are from Western Europe. For the female it is seven out of the Top-9.
