Seo (16) and Fujii won two golds in Asian Championship

Chaehyeon Seo, the 16 year old who won the Lead World Cup, got both titles in the Asian Championship in Bogor. She will not compete in Toulouse as she did not do any Boulder WC's this year. Her only possibility to qualify to Tokyo will be the Asian Combined Championship next spring. In the Speed event in Bogor she did 10.54. In the Combined Championship, Seo was only #4 as she was only #4 in the Boulder final. Overall winner was Speed specialist Iqamah Nurul from Indonesia. Among the male, Kokoro Fujii won in Lead but in his best discipline, he was beaten by Katsura Konishi, who never has done a World Cup. Fujii won also the Combined event with 6,61 as his fastest time in Speed. Interesting is also that Veddriq Leonardo from Inonesia won the Speed event at 5,406 beating the world record with 0,07 but as this has not been reported by IFSC, probably the wall was not certified. Noteworthy is also that Rishat Khaibullin, #3 in the Combined WCH, was just #7.
