Duffy wins also in Lead in Innsbruck

26 June 2022

Colin Duffy, who won the Boulder WC in Innsbruck three days ago, got the victory also in Lead. Although the 18-year-old was just two holds above the #6, he was pretty superior as he had good control of the last five moves where the others struggled more. In the short Molly Thompson-Smith interview, he commented. "I was feeling quite tired both physically and mentally. I think keeping yourself together through that many rounds of hard competition is really hard on the mind, but as soon as I stepped on the stage for Lead finals I was right back in the zone. I was just happy to climb. I knew the stakes were possible to get the double win, but at the end of the day I really just wanted to climb to my potential."

Runner-up was Ao Yurikusa - JPN, who was #6 last week in Innsbruck in the University World Championship, beating Jesse Grupper -USA on time. Noteworthy is that USA had three in the Top-11, Japan had four in the Top-12 and Germany three in the Top-13. Complete results

In the Olympics Colin was #7 and last in the final. However, had he not made a false start with 0.002 seconds against Alberto Gines López in the Speed, he would probably have gotten the Olympic gold.
