France win mixed team bouldering in SLC

IFSC has tested a new mixed team format where two females and two males try to make 12 tops on six different boulders. Only the coaches are allowed in the observation, and he/she is supposed to decide who will try the different boulders. There were nine teams participating and France won doing nine tops, followed by Belgium and Japan. (c) Vladek Zumr

Simon Lorenzi from Belgium, #7 last weekend, reports, "It was a super cool event! There is definitely something really motivating about climbing with/for your team! It was also really cool to share the beta, cheering directly on your friend being so close to the wall and brush for your teammate. It's a very fun format!"

1. France 911 (9 Tops and 11 Zones)
2. Belgium 710
3. Japan 610 (11 attempts)
4. Slovenia 610 (12)
5. USA-2 570
