Janja Garnbret superior again

Janja Garnbret topped all four boulders in just seven tries in the final, after having topped her first nine boulders in the two first rounds in just ten attempts. Overall, this was the Slovenians eighth straight Boulder World Cup victory. Runner-up was Oriane Bertone (16) in her WC debut, looking like she had been on the circuit for many years. Natalia Grossman (19), who previously had #7 as her best result, got the bronze. Noteworthy is that Slovenia had six girls Top-15.

"I really enjoyed it. We haven't had any competitions [in 2021] so far so it's good to be back," Garnbret commented. "I was training hard last year and this year, so I'm feeling confident going into the season with the biggest goal being in August. Back to training!"

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
