Japan dominates the Boulder WC in 2017

1. Shauna Coxey 335 GBR - Keita Watabe 285 JPN 2. Janja Garnbret 327 SLO - Alexey Rubtsov 252 RUS 3. Miho Nonoka 232 JPN - Tomoa Narasaki 249 JPN 4. Akiyo Noguchi 180 JPN - Jongwon Chon 226 KOR 5. Petra Klingeler 178 SUI - Kokoro Fujii 203 JPN 6. Stasa Gejo 176 SRB - Rei Sugimoto 164 JPN Complete results The domination from Japan is just amazing especially among the males where the Europeans keep struggling. Just like in the overall last year, not one boulderer from western Europe within Top-6. Among the female, Shauna who has been Top-2 in eight of the last ten events, is clearly challenged by Janja Garnbret who has three straight Top-2 results.
