From too hard in the semi to too easy in the final

It seems the route setters, based on the few number of tops in the semi, made some late changes, resulting in too easy boulders in the final. All the podium topped all four boulders and Janja Garnbret won by doing them all first go. Noteworthy is that Slovenia, with just 2 million inhabitants, was superior by getting two golds and another two in the finals. 1. Janja Garnbret 44* SLO Eddie Fowke 2. Shauna Coxsey 44 GBR 3. Fanny Gibert 44 FRA 4. Lucka Rakovec 34 SLO 5. Jessica Pilz 34 AUT 6. Futaba Ito 33 JPN Complete results * In order to make it more understandable 8a has started to take out the T and z and just present the score with points.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s 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. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
