Last year Nika was #2 in the Lead Youth WCH and she won the Youth European CH in Bouldering. Fedir did two 9a's in 2016 being 18 years old and then he had an amazing 2017 being #9 in the Lead World Cup. The following winter he got some elbow and wrist problems missing training but in the last three WCs 2018, his worst result was #11. " I have a very good coach.
