Ghisolfi and Kim got their revenge in Kranj

Stefano Ghisolfi, #22 in WCH in Innsbruck, was the only one to top out the final in Kranj and increased the excitement in the duel in the World Cup with Jakob Schubert, who was runner up. #3 was Masahiro Higuchi. Interestingly, Stefano said that part of his preparation for the last two WCs will be to go to Spain working on a 9b. Among the female, Jain Kim climbed in surprisingly good control passing the highpoint of Janja Garnbret in both semi and final. Last year Jain was #2 overall and this year she has been #3 in the World Cups as well as in the WCH. Hannah Schubert, younger sister to Jakob, got her first WC podium.

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
