Dramatic semi - Schubert, Ghisolfi and Pilz are out

During the male final it looked like the wall was heated up as the best qualifiers started to fight even low down and in the end Stefano Ghisolfi and Jakob Schubert were not even close to make it to the final. Winner of the semi was Tomoa Narasaki and in total four from Japan made it through. Then Janja Garnbret dropped her chalk bag before clipping the first bolt and had to fight hard even in the middle section. Later she was trying to brush the sweat from her hands on her shorts. Strangely the commentators did not notice her extreme situation. Once moving up on the upper more crimpy section, she put in her normal cruise control again becoming the only one topping out. Runner up, also in cruise control, was 15 year old Chaehyon Seo from Korea and this was the very moment a new star was born. Previously we had een Jessica Pilz falling at the second crux but as a matter of a fact she did seem to have hard times also on some easier moves.
