Excellent show in Vail with four Japanese on the podium

1. Alex Puccio USA 33 - Rei Sugimoto JPN 34 2. Miho Nonaka JPN 23 - Sean Bailey USA 24:2 3. Akiyo Noguchi JPN 13 - Tomoa Narasaki JPN 24:3 Complete results Alex Puccio, doing her first WC in 2018, was last out and flashed the boulder and secured the victory in front of her home crowd. All boulders were topped out. Among the male, Rei Sugimoto was in the lead before the last boulder which he could not top. Then it was Sean who on his flash attempt could not hold the swing on the top hold and the same situation later ocurred for Tomoa. (c) Eddie Fowke
