Kranj Lead WC - Finals Sunday 18.00

The fifth stage of the Lead World Cup in 2018 takes place in Kranj this weekend. The semi will be live-streamed on Saturday 20.00 and the Finals on Sunday 18.00. Slovenia will participate with 16 athletes and Japan with 15 out of which nine male. As Alex Megos will not attend in Kranj, possibly due to the injury he got in Innsbruck and which made him just slowly climb the Speed route, it seems the overall title is a battle in between leading Jakob Schubert and Stefano Ghisolfi. Schubert's worse result is #4 and Ghisolfi's #5 in 2018. Anyhow, Domen Skofic and Romain Desgranges do still have good chances but the results need to go in their favor. Complete results Among the female, Janja Garnbret has won three events and Jessica Pilz one and as their worst result is #2, in practice nobody can catch them as Anak Verhoeven has said on Insta that due to an elbow injury, her competition season is over. In the end of October, the World Cup finishes with two events in China.

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.
