Kim and Ramonet win - Schubert disqualified

Jakob Schubert, the world champion from last week, was the last climber out in the Purs World Cup. But he was not allowed to climb as he had been given a red card for looking at his mobile. Jakob was of course very upset and said it was ridicuolus as the judge saw that he was only checking the clock and that everyone does it. Also Sean McColl the President of the Athlete representatives said it was "ridiculous" and that they could instead have given him a yellow card. It should be noted that Jakob did not get ranked #8 as the last finalist but disqualified from the whole competition. This means that the WC winner in 2011, now is in an almost impossible situation winning in 2012. The other big IFSC disqualification happend in the world championship in 2005 when the semi winner Ramon Julian Puigblanque had misunderstood the final isolation time. 1. Jain Kim 56+ : Ramon Julian Puigblanque 60+ 2. Johanna Ernst 54 + : Cedric Lachat 57+ 3. Magdalena Röck 51+ Romain Desgranges 57+ Complete results The final routes were graded 8c and 8b+.
