Finals cancelled in Wujiang

Janja Garnbret started last out and looked to have everything in control three moves from the top when she slipped and it was obvious that the hold was wet, as the exact same thing had just happened for Jain Kim. As the rain seemed to just get stronger they decided to cancel both the finals. This means that the final results was based on the semifinal. As both Janja and Jain topped both qually routes and had the same scoring in the semi, we got two winners among the female. This also means that Janja Garnbret secured her overall title 2018. 1. Janja Garnbret/Jain Kim - Romain Desgranges 2. Jakob Schubert 3. Jessica Pilz - Hyunbin Min 4. Akiyo Noguchi - Hidemassa Nishida 5. Katharina Posch - Stefano Ghisolfi Complete results (c) Eddie Fowke Among the male, Romain Desgranges got his first victory in 2018 and Jakob Schubert secured the overall title without having to climb the final. Overall, Japan got sex male and female in the Top-15 although some of the top male did not participate.
