McArthur and Van Duysen Boulder Youth World Champions
Hamish McArthur from GBR, who got the silver in the Youth World Championship in 2019, won in the Junior category in Voronezh by topping out all four boulders in just eight tries. In the Top-8, France had three, Great Britain and Japan two boys. Among the Youth A, born -04 and -05, Hannes Van Duysen from Belgium won an extremely tight fight by doing three tops in eight attempts. It is interesting that Mejdi Schalck from France, who is #5 in the World Cup 2021, was #4 after having won both the qualification and the semi. Noteworthy is also that Germany had four guys Top-8.
