Parkour, dynos and cordination on volumes in Graz

99: Filip Schenk ITA - Laura Stöckler AUT 01: Sam Avezou FRA - Sandra Lettner AUT 03: Paul Jenft FRA - Naile Meignan FRA Austria dominated among the the girls with two golds and three silvers and for the boys, France was best with nine in in Top-7. By looking at the, complete results we can see that it was kind of hard to get the right difficulty level. In one class, you did get the bronze without getting one top. On the other hand, the level among the ten finalist were diversified with some guys getting all four tops at the same time as two did not get one top. The route setting was in general very modern with actually often parkour, dyno and coordination moves. The Swedish coach and medical doctor, Björn Alber, likes the new style based on volumes and big sloopers, (c) Björn Alber. On the other hand, he is a bit concerned about all the dynos, also horizontal, as the risk for injuries increases. There was at least one bad injury. - One problem was also that there was just five minutes rest in between each boulder meaning that there is no time to recover which increases the risk for injuries.
