Gibert & Kruder win BlocMasters

The Studio BlocMasters turned out to be a great event with great problems. As of last week, the new 4 minute rule did was a disappointment. Let us hope the climbers will adapt better when the World Cup starts in two weekends in Switzerland. Here is The Circuit Climbing qualifying report and album. (c) Eddie Fowke - Janja Garnbret winning the qually. 1. Jernej Kruder SLO - Fanny Gibert FRA 2. Jongwon Chon KOR - Janja Garnbret SLO 3. Jan Hojer GER - Chloé Caulier BEL Complete results Noteworthy is that the three on male podium on BlocMasters did also make it to the final at CWIF last week, which should give a hint who are favorites for the WCs, beside the Japanese. None of the females made it to both the finals.
