Futabo Ito and Yoshiyuki Ogata Adidas Rockstars

In the Adidas Rockstars super final, where Janja Garnbret and Futaba Ito climbed on two identical boulders, Ito fell midways but jumped up directly. Garnbret was caught in the middle and could not find the sequence and soon the 17 year old Japanese got to her height and just kept going without hesitating. As Ito hit the buzzer, Garnbret was still hanging in the same position. Third was Ai Mori, only 15 years old. Among the male, nor Yoshiyuki Ogata or Florian Klingler could not finish the superfinal boulder during the four minutes although both come very close. Then they made the finish a little bit easier but Ogata opted for his original sequence and topped. Jongwon Chon got the bronze. The winners got a check of Euro 5 000 both. Ogata said directly after his victory, "This comp is the most enjoyable competition in the world." (c) Vladek Zumr

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
