Lee Dohyun gets the gold in Prague again

Lee Dohyun, who won his first World Cup in Prague last year, claimed his second World Cup gold at the same stage. โ€I love Prague! I canโ€™t believe I won again here, how can I explain my feelings? Iโ€™m just very happy! There were some tricky moves in the final, some boulders were complicated for me, but I did my best and it paid off.โ€

Manu Cornu, who has not made a podium since 2019, got the silver. โ€Itโ€™s crazy, right? It definitely feels crazy. I donโ€™t have a lot of words tonight. Iโ€™m back from a long difficult period. One year ago, here in Prague, the first words to my coach after the qualification round were โ€˜Itโ€™s over for meโ€™. And now Iโ€™m here, on the podium.

I didnโ€™t think it was possible for both [Anraku] Sorato and [Narasaki] Tomoa to fall on the fourth boulder. So I was quite sure I was going to get fourth place. I was very surprised.โ€

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
