Zero zones awarded bronze in Perm

The European Youth Championship in Perm in Russia is taking place 1 - 5 May. The big sensation during day two was that Alberto Gines Lopez, who has qualified to the Olympics and who was runner up overall in the Lead WC in 2019, after Adam Ondra, was #4. As a matter of a fact, all the three guys on the Junior podium were one year younger than Alberto born in 2002. Here are the first winners. Complete results

Lead 02: Paul Jenft FRA - Lucija Tarkus SLO
Lead 04: Mejdi Schalk FRA - Marketa Janosova CZE
Boulder 06: Nikolay Rusev BUL - Darya Akulova RUS

Noteworthy is that in the girls 06, the bronze was won by Arina Jurcenko who did not manage to score even one zone in the final. She was #3 by countback to the semifinal where she did one top. Out of the 20 girls in the semi, only one more top was achieved!

Mejdi Schalk was the only one winning all three rounds and he did it actually in a superior style.
