Garnbret wins her 16th Boulder WC

Janja Garnbret won all three rounds in Kequiao and in the final she only needed five attempts, including a foot slip on the slab, to do all four boulders and win her 16th Boulder World Cup.

“It’s the first World Cup of the season and you are always a little bit nervous because although I have been training hard over the winter you don’t really know what your competitors have been doing. I knew I was strong and I felt good, but you never know in a competition.” More quotes on IFSC website.

On a side note, none of the three highest ranked female boulderers, Natalia Grossman, Brooke Raboutou and Oriane Bertone, participated.
1. Janja Garnbret SLO 44 (5)
2. Camilla Moroni ITA 23 (10)
3. Zhilu Luo CHN 22 (2)
4. Zelia Avezou FRA 13 (5)
5. Erin Mcneice AUS 12 (1)
6. Anon Matsufuji JPN 12 (2)
