Euro Youth Champ - Italy/Israel on top

The European Boulder Youth Championships were held over the long weekend in Sukorรณ, Hungary. Israel emerged as the most successful nation in terms of gold medals, securing two titles, and added two further medals to top the overall medal table. In the combined points ranking, however, Italy finished first, edging Israel by 41 points with a total of 6,162. The winners were as follows:

21: Tomer Yakobovitch ISR - Martina Bursikova SVK
19: Itamar Harel ISR - Jakoba Rauter AUT
17: Leonardo Donola ITA - Amelie Kรคgi SUI

In general, the route setters had sometimes difficulties finding the right level. In the semis for the two oldest boys categories, competing on the same boulders, 29 out of 48 made at most one zone. Complete results
