Victory for Schubert and Garnbret in Munich

Adam Ondra did the first three boulder first go and it seemed he had secured the win. Then Jakob Schubert did the fourth boulder putting some pressure on Ondra to at least get the zone but he did not get very close actually. This was the third WC Boulder victory for Schubert who also has won 18 Lead WC's. (c) Eddie Fowke 1. Jakob Schubert AUT 34 - Janja Garnbret SLO 44 2. Adam Ondra CZE 33 - Fanny Gibert FRA 44 3.

Runner-up was Fanny Gibert needing eight tries to top them all. It most be mentioned that the five best male Japanese who all where in the Top-7, two weeks ago, did not participate as they are training and competing at home as a preparation for the WCH. Among the female, six of the Top-8 in Wujiang, out of which the four best from Japan, did also not participate.
