Rogora and Ondra win Boulder KO at Arco Rock Master - Duel Finals at 21.30

Adam Ondra comments on Insta, "After the Olympics, I am not very motivated to go to the competitions, but 🇮🇹 Arco @rockmasterfestival is not just a random contest."

Yesterday, he worked the boulders where they will compete on today on a redpoint KO formula where two, out of eight, will be eliminated after each round, where they have three attempts. On the third boulder, only one will be eliminated and then the Top-3 will compete for the victory on the final boulder. Ondra describes the boulders on his Insta.

In the Duel, two athletes compete on identical routes and the first one topping out the 25-meter route advances to the next round. Also here, the athletes have been practising the route. Ondra has won five times but Jakob Schubert got the victory the last time.
