Chanjin Jung and Arisa Hayashi win in Youth Worlds

Arisa Hayashi got the third gold for Japan in the Youth World Championship, winning the U16 girls category. Arisa won on countback from the qualification and, notably, four girls topped the final route. "I’m very, very happy. I like Lead and I have trained a lot of Lead for this event. I knew I had to top to win, and I felt a little bit nervous, but I wanted to win and get a medal and so I just had to do my best."

Among the boys, Chanjin Jung from South Korea got the gold having won all three rounds. "I didn’t expect first, but I expected a podium, so I’m really happy and I can’t wait for the next competition. This really gives me confidence for the Boulder competition now." Interesting is that Korea and Japan continue to dominate getting all Top-5 positions among the boys.
