Kruder is probably out from Tokyo

Jernej Kruder from Slovenia, who two days ago become the Bouldering Euro Champion, started up the Combined qualification by possible setting a new PB in Speed with 7.51 which made him surprisingly #8. But then he scored just 34 in Boulder which put him as #13. Now the Slovenian needs the best Lead performance of his life getting at least Top-4 in order to make it to the final. William Bosi is #1 with 10.5 points just ahead of one of the favourites, Sergei Luzhetski at 12 points.

The Speed specialist making it to the final, and most probably will be #4 or #5 there, is Marcin Dzienski who actually made two bonuses. Interesting is that Speed specialist and favourite was just fourth in his best discipline and was possibly the first Speed specialist who made a top in an IFSC Championship. As a matter of a fact, he actually also touched the last hold on one boulder confirming that the boulders were way too easy. In total, ten male topped all four boulders. Based on the complete results, one can speculate that max 380 points are needed in order to make it into the Top-8 final.
