76 males did score 0 Tops in Innsbruck
Ogata Yoshiyuki, Jakob Schubert, Janja Garnbret and Brooke Raboutou won their respective groups in the Boulder qualifications in Innsbruck. Among the male, Japan had six guys in Top-10 and among the girls, they had five in Top-13.
In total, 114 males participated out of which 76 did not make one Top including Jernej Kruder, Sean Bailay (winner in SLC) and Olympian Alberto Gines Lopez.
One reason for the big discrepancy in the results is that the best start first with fresh holds and colder temperature. If you do not have any ranking points, the starting order is randomised so you need some luck to not start among the last.
One possibility to reduce the number of participants could be to only allow two or three athletes per nation that are not ranked. Currently, five climbers per country are allowed to participate.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
