Austria & USA dominate at Vail
1. Alex Johnson USA - Killian Fischhuber AUT
2. Katharina Saurwein AUT - Gabriele Moroni ITA
3. Anna Stรถhr AUT - Paul Robinson USA
The result for USA in their first World Cup was nothing but amazing. Three teenager girls Top-6 and three guys Top-8. Complete results
Kilian Fischhuber was superior in the semi and actually the one who saved the route setters from embarrasing results as he did all the four problems there. However, in the qually he only did one and actually 37 out of 49 did not make one. (The boulders were set in rain). In the semi, 18 out of 20 made a maximum of one. For the women, the score was as bad and as an example, #4 Tiffany Hensley USA did only get three out of 12 tops.
Overall after four comps, Kilian Fischhuber and Anna Stรถhr from Austria are superior. Pic of Alex Johnson from 8a Gallery. Pics and videos from comp
