Great European Youth Cup in Imst

The first European Youth Cup in 2017 started out in Imst with 250 participants. The route setting team included Kilian Fischuber and many said it was the best route setting ever. Previous years, Austria and Slovenia have dominated but now the top positions were more evenly spread out. As previous years, out of the big countries UK and especially Germany have hard time getting their youth high up in the ranking. Several hundred more pictures from Kletterzentrum. The Norwegian head coach, Reino Horak, agrees that the route setting was excellent and also comments that it can be seen that the level of Youth B has gone up. Here are the winners and noteworthy is that Nika Potapova was the only one who topped out all three routes. All three boys and Nika are 8a members. 98: V Shevchenko RUS - H Doumont BEL 00: F Schenk ITA - N Arc FRA 02: A Gines ESP - N Potapova UKR Complete results
