Kokoro Fujii wins in Toulouse

1. Kokoro Fujii 5 - 2 - 2 = 20 (c) Vladek Zumr 2. Adam Ondra 8 - 3 - 1 = 24 3. Meichi Narasaki 4 - 1 - 7 = 28 4. Bassa Mawem 1 - 8 - 8 = 64 5. Jan Hojer 2 - 7 - 5 = 70 6. YuFei Pan 3 - 4 - 6 = 72 7. Alberto Gines Lopez 7 - 5 - 3 = 105 8. Nathaniel Coleman 6 - 6 - 4 = 144 Complete results Noteworthy is that Adam Ondra stopped his first Speed heat against Bassa Mawem and then choose to not try any more heats. It was said he was feeling ill but nevertheless he was third in bouldering. Good route setting in terms of separation in the boulder final although two almost vertical walls and one just slightly overhanging. In the final, Adam fell one move from the top and actually Kokoro Fujii just one move behind. This was the Japanese best ever Lead result but he will not go to Tokyo as Tomoa Narasaki and Kai Harada already got the slots in the World Championship. The live streaming lasted almost 4.5 hours out of which 105 minutes for the boulder final. โ€œIf I were one hundred percent sure that I would be qualified for the Olympics with the eight place, I would not even start the competition because I felt really sick,โ€ says Ondra just after the competition. As the Japanese team filed a complaint with the International Olympic Committee regarding the nomination criteria, Ondra couldnโ€™t be really sure with his qualification for the Olympics: โ€œIn this pre-Olympic period of chaos, no one can be really sure of anything. So in the end I decided to enter the competition despite feeling really sick. I was afraid of being eighth and needed to be at least seventh,โ€ Ondra explains his decision.

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
