Japan will continue their domination in Tokyo WCH
The three male Japanese who got all the three medals in Briancon, in their first Lead WC in 2019, have not been selected to participate in the World Championship in Tokyo. Instead they send another six more qualified male which suggest that Japan, with the best boulderers in the world, will dominate at their home turf.
Among the female, Japan is also one of the best nations and we predict we will see a new record Japanese domination in the Tokyo World Championship 11-21 August. Out of the 24 medals, the prediction is 9 medals and that they will get at least double as many country points as the runner up (Slovenia). The Top-7 in the Combined will qualify to the Olympics with a max 2 country quota, beside Japan who only have one as they will select their second person later. Here are the Top-10 who also will quality to the Olympics beside the Japan country quota.
1. Tomoa Narasaki JPN - Janja Garnbret SLO
2. Adam Ondra CZE - Miho Nonaka JPN
3. Jakob Schubert AUT - Chaehyon Seo KOR
4. Yoshiyuki Ogata* JPN - Akiyo Noguchi JPN
5. Kokoro Fujii JPN - Ai Mori JPN
6. Alex Megos GER - Jessica Pilz AUT
7. Kai Harada JPN - Shauna Coxey GBR
8. YuFei Pan CAN - YueTong Zhang CHI
9. Jernej Kruder SLO - Futaba Ito JPN
0. Jan Hojer GER - Mia Krampl SLO
* Ogata has said on Insta that he has not been selected to participate on all three disciplines which is strange as he is in the official starting list.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs 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.
