Lead overall predicted winners: Ghisolfi and Grossman/Rogora/Garnbret

Qualification results from Kranj. As the last Lead World Cup in China has been cancelled, there will only be five Lead World Cups and all will count. This means that among the males, Stefano Ghisolfi will secure the overall victory if he finishes Top-3 in the last event in Kranj starting this Friday. If Sean Bailey is #2, Stefano will get the overall if he is #6. What talks in favour of Ghisolfi is also that several of the best guys, like Adam Ondra, Alex Megos, Colin Duffy and Tomoa Narasaki, will not participate in Kranj.

Among the women, it is a much more open affair where four girls have the chance to win overall. If Janja wins the last event in front of her home crowd, Natalia Grossman or Laura Rogora will get the overall title if any of them are runner up. If, instead, Vita Lukan is runner-up, Janja wins overall and Vita is #2 overall. It should also be mentioned that many of the best, like Brooke Raboutou, Akiyo Noguchi and Miho Nonaka, are not participating. At the same time, Chaehyon Seo makes her first WC in 2021 and if she wins, it is most likely that the one with the best result out of Grossman and Rogora wins overall. The live-streaming of the semi will start on Saturday 08.55 and the Finals at 18.00, Euro Time.

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.
