28 % in female youth b = zero zones

The results in the Female Youth B boulder qualification is yet another confirmation that one more zone is needed in bouldering. Out of the 89 participants 25 girls = 28 % did not get any zone. Imagine how these girls, some of them travelling 20+ hours to reach Arco, have to explain to friends and relatives that they did not even enter the scoreboard. By getting one zone you could end at #44. As four girls topped all four boulders we can not just say that the boulders were too hard. The problem is that there is a big difference in between the best and the ones on the lower half. As it has been the same problem in all previous boulder comps, it is very hard to understand that IFSC do not add one more zone at least in the youth competitions.
