Gรญnes Lรณpez and Martinez win IFSC test comp

The IFSC test competition for the new Combined Olympic format took place at Sharma Barcelona, with Alberto Gรญnes Lรณpez and Iziar Martinez winning with 170.1 and 199.8 points respectively. The runner ups, Javier Cano and Monsech Gasca scored 101.1 and 113.6 points. Complete results (c) Jan Virt

The way it played out, Alberto and Javier had already secured the two first spots before they even climbed in the Lead portion, as they were superior in Bouldering and none of the other six finalists scored high in Lead. When it came time for Iziar to set off on the Lead route, she had already secured third place and there was little excitement as she only had to equal the score of the lowest result in the Lead final in order to secure the gold.

When it comes to the Top-20 qualification, the Top-6 females in Bouldering would have made it to the Top-8 final without participating in the Lead qualification. Furthermore, all but one result in the 11-20 Combined male rankings were decided by the results in Lead.

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
