FRA, JPN, SLO and USA dominate in Youth Worlds
Japan and USA got three gold each in the Youth World Championship in Voronezh, Russia. If we give three points for gold, two for silver and one for bronze, this is the ranking; France 18, Japan 16, Slovenia 15 and USA 14. It should be mentioned that Japan, which totally dominated in 2019 with 29 points participated only with one athlete per category, more or less, in 2021.
Interestingly is that only Naile Meignan won both the semi and final in Bouldering. She was also the only one to flash all for problems in the semifinal. Hamish MacArthur (GBR) and Anastasia Sanders (USA) won in both Lead and Boulder. Noteworthy is also that Aleksandra Totkova and Mejdi Schalck, who have made podiums in Lead and Boulder respectively in the 2021 World Cup, did not make podiums in those disciplines in Youth A.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
