Convincing victory by Chon and Garnbret in China

Janja Garnbret, the Lead overall winner in 2017, was superior in the Boulder World Cup in Chongqing, winner of all three rounds and topping all 13 boulders in a superior style. Runner up was Shauna Coxsey who overall did ten boulders. Among the males, Jongwon Chon #4 in the Boulder World Cup last year, won both the semifinal and the final and in fact he had to do the final boulder twice as he misunderstood how to top out in his first try. 1.
