Japan and Slovenia total domination in Bouldering

Japan won the national team ranking for the sixth year in a row. Slovenia, with just two million inhabitants, had their best year ever. The country struggling the most were Italy at #15 with only 156 points. 1. Japan 1 693 2. Slovenia 1 359 3. France 766 4. Austria 591 5. Germany 534 Complete results Noteworthy is that Japan could participate with ten male in 2019 as they had five guys in the Top-10 ranking in 2018. Currently they have just three but there are another five who can make it with good results in the Tokyo WCH. However, IFSC have reduced the extra-quota so only six male from Japan is allowed to participate.
