Adam Ondra wins in style

Adam Ondra won first the qualification and later the semi but then he could not get the first zone in the final. Then it took him five attempts to get the zone on the second boulder and in few seconds he topped it. Topping out the last two, showing a great technical repertoire, he secured another great victory and also creating a great show, saving the route setter from yet a round with too hard boulders. However, all 18 boulders in the three rounds were topped. It should also be mentioned that Japan had four Top-6.

Ondra comments; "I prepared a lot for this competition. In fact, last year and this spring, I was trying to eliminate all my weaknesses in bouldering.

Even though the spectators were not allowed to be here, the competitors and couches themselves created an atmosphere that is definitely worthy of the World Cup. The feeling when I topped the last boulder and the hall basically โ€œthunderedโ€ was absolutely amazing and I will definitely remember this moment for a long time."
