Alexey Rubtsov is back on track with two 8c+'

Alexey Rubtsov, Boulder World Champion from 2009 who tore his tendon on his long biceps head winning in Ljublijana 26/5, is back on track with two 8c+' in Céüse; Mister Hyde and Baa, baa black sheep. "It's been 12 weeks since surgery, my shoulder feels good and does not hurt anymore:) I felt comfortable climbing. This summer I spent recovering and climbing rocks. Slowly returning the level. Now I have returned home from the rocks and am ready to start training. But my shape is far from ideal. I haven’t done any bouldering in the gym yet, so I'm going to try it :). I will return to the competition in September and start with the European Championship in bouldering on September 6-7. I climbed the speed for the last time in May, and I will return to it in September. But to be honest, after the injury, partly my thoughts were: “everything is not so bad, at least I do not need to do speed now :)”." Noteworthy is that he did 7.27 already in Moscow which was one of the fastest time of the Bouderer specialists. This would mean that he should be able to do at least 6.5 in Toulouse but for that he probably would need to get twice Top-26 in Lead.
