Garnbret and Ghisolfi creating the perfect show topping the final

1. Janja Garnbret SLO - Stefano Ghisolfi ITA 2. Jain Kim KOR - Tomoa Narasaki JPN 3. Julia Chanourdie FRA - Hanwool Kim KOR Complete results (c) Eddie Fowke - The Circuit Climbing Janja Garnbret was superior in the Lead World Cup in Wuijang, topping all four routes in great style. Also Stefano Ghisolfi won each round as well as topping the final route creating the perfect show in the final. Although there are two events left, Janja has already secured the overall victory again having won five of the six WCs in 2017. It should be mentioned that for the first time in 2017, the live streaming included a clock and the six minute rule did not create any big problem. The biggest sensation was that Tomoa Narasaki, #2 in the Boulder World Cup 2017, was runner up after Ghisolfi in his first Lead WC in three years. Add to that his 7.85 in the Speed qualification and he is the biggest favorite for the gold in Tokyo 2020.
