8A+ by Shauna Coxsey skipping next 2 WCs

Shauna Coxsey, winner of the Boulder WC the last two years, is skipping the next two Would Cups in China and has instead traveled to Vรคstervik in Sweden. During the winter she had a finger injury and in the two first WCs , she was #6 in both. "So over the next couple of weeks Iโ€™ll be spending some time rock climbing and working on feeling like myself on the wall :)" Also Janja Garnbret, who was #2 in the World Cup last year and who has been #2 and #1 in 2018, will not compete during the next four Boulder WCs. In practice, this means that neither Janja or Shauna will have a chance of winning the World Cup in 2018. On the picture by Ned Feehally, Shauna does D+P Combo 8A+ in Vรคstervik. " I surprised myself with a quick send...:)"

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s 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. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
