Another 6 ties in the semi and Ghisolfi is out

The male semifinal turned out to be a very close game with 16 out of the 26 athletes falling within three holds. Strangely enough the last starters got in general worse results and the commentators said it might be due to worse condition as the heat was building up. Stefano Ghislofi was #22 and Adam Ondra was last into the final with a tied fifth position with six other guys. Last out, somewhat saving the show, was Domen Skofic and he made the highpoint. Complete results (c) Vladek Zumr Interestingly, Japan got their best male Lead performance ever with three guys making it to the final. Other then that, Austria and Czech Republic got two through. It should be noticed that if any of the six ties are also tied for a podium position, the faster climber will be ranked the highest.

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
