Double Tops by Ondra but Desgranges is out

Although the difficulty of the routes were almost spot on with only Adam Ondra topping two routes, after some competitors in the start it was noticed that one hold was wrongly placed and some seven climbers were allowed to re-climb the route. On another route, a banner logo was inside the route and unfortunately, Romain Desgranges had been standing on it, meaning the ruling world champion failed to make it to the semi. In fact, also Ondra seemed to have touched but anyhow, if he would have been called down he would still made it to the semi as he was the only to top the other route.

The biggest sensation was that Rudolph Runa qualified to semi as #5. Japan was overall the best nation with five guys through to the semi and seven guys Top-31. Also Italy had a very good result with three in Top-11. Also Austria did get three into semi Top-26. Complete results
