Adias Rockstars - Great interactive community show

Jongwon Chon and Jernej Kruder are two of the most entertaining profiles in the bouldering circuit. The "brothers" created a great show in the super final in the Adidas Rockstars and it actually looked like runner up, getting Euro 3 000, was at least as happy as his big dancing brother getting Euro 4 000 in prize money. Many of the invited actually say that this is the most fun competition of the all year and it is always 3 500 and full house. What we can learn from this and also other invitational bouldering events is that the format is not so important. Some sometimes complain about time restrictions and fairness etc but it seems the athletes do not bother as long as there are spectacular problems and intense interaction with the spectators and "brothers and sisters". "Yesterday was crazy night. I enjoyed a lot @adidasrockstars 2018 Final I think I did well last night isn’t it?! :) Only me did it all top final round also I did all top semi and qualification round !! and I’m sooo happy made super final with my brother @kruderjernej. We promise before competition see you in front of super final boulders and we made it!!"
