Great start in Japan

The Hachioji Bouldering World Cup started with almost perfect route setting for the female who put up a great show. No big sensations beside Oceania Mackenzie (15) from Australia, #15 in Youth World's last year, made it through. Also four Japanese and three from USA made it to the Top-20 semi. Interesting is that Speed specialist Anna Tsyganova was #25 and that the fastest non-Speed specialist, Claire Buhrfeind was #15.
