Sicarios 8B flash by Martin Strรกnรญk
Martin Strรกnรญk, #2 in the WCH in 2007, has a a great day in Labskรฉ รdolรญ where he did his first 8B flash, Sicarios. As can be seen on the video, it was raining heavily. "Cooling temps and high psyche made everything easy in Elbe valley yesterday, i sent 8B, 8A+/B, 8B+ FA and my first 8B Flash :) called Sicarios. So refreshing after all comps this year ". In the 8a ranking, the 29 yer old is #4.
In the Combined Ranking the Czech is #36 after, surprisingly, having a hard time performing in Bouldering (best #29 and #43) at the same time he has been #6 and #9 in Lead. In Speed he has been #81 and #95 meaning, he has a great chance to qualify to Toulouse if he can make a good result in the last Speed event.
