Garnbret wins again and saves the show

Janja Garnbret started out last and before her, only Brooke Raboutou had come up on the headwall and Akiyo Noguchi had come halfways. The other five females had fallen doing dynos long way further down. Laura Rogora was second last out but hesitated and struggled clipping the third quickdraw. Then she clipped the fourth very high up making the coming dyno harder and she fell. A fall clipping the third actually looked scary and earlier Viktoria Meshkova had smashed into the wall upside down.

Last out was Janja and in her normal casual style, she cruised to the top smiling. Overall, the Olympians dominated getting all Top-5 spots and with Brooke's fantastic results in Salt Lake City, her extreme progress also in Lead, puts her as one of the top challengers to Janja in Tokyo.

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
