Slovenian dominance in Munich

In a rather strange final were all boulders were topped but were most actually had very hard time to move from the start holds on the three first boulders. We saw a nice happy ending with five tops in just six tries on the last boulder and two very popular Slovenians on top. (c) Heiko Wilhelm - Innsbruck 2018 Gregor Vezonik was #50 in the WC 2017 and started out in the same level in 2018 by being #51 in Meiringen. Then in Moscow something kicked in and he was #3 in Moscow and overall in 2018 he ended #5. The overall winner 2018 Jernej Kruder also from Slovenia has a similar story but at a much higher level. In between 2010 and 2017, he has always been in between #8 and 31 overall before winning in great style 2018. Interesting is that Gregor and Jernej have almost opposite approach when it comes to training and climbing focus. Jernej is almost not training indoors at all and instead he enjoys all disciplines including trad and multipitches. Gregor on the other hand has a structured approach mainly focusing on indoor bouldering. 1. Gregor Vezonik 24 SLO 2. Jernej Kruder 23 (9/7) SLO 3. Jakob Schubert 23 (9/11) AUT Complete results
