Desgranges and Garnbret win in Edinburgh

Great route setting and livestreaming from the World Cup in Edinburgh but we badly need the official clock and so do the spectators. In practice all the top female struggled with the new six minute rule and not even the commentators did know who won as Janja Garnbret was timed out but continued some moves. Stefano Gisolfi and Jakob Schubert had topped out the first three routes and with identical result also in the final, the faster climber, Ghisolfi, was ranked higher. (C) Eddie Fowke - The Circuit Climbing At the same time the local commentator, did often talk about how long time did remain for the athletes actually helping some more then the other. IFSC need to set some rules, how much time info the commentator should give the athletes. Romain Desgranges and Janja Garnbret won their third and fourth event in 2017 and they have almost already secured the overall title as long as they make it to the final in two out of the three last events. 1. Romain Desgranges FRA 47 : Janja Garnbret SLO 42 2. Stefano Ghisolfi ITA 42+ : Jessica Piltz AUT 42 3. Jakob Schubert AUT 42+ : Jain Kim KOR 41+ Complete results
