Multiple Tops in the Chamonix qually and semi

Adam Ondra made his first 2022 World Cup in Chamonix and got three straight Tops in the qualification and semi rounds. Among the males, there were a total of eleven Tops in the quarterfinal and then also Sean Bailey, Luka Potocar and Satone Yoshida topped the semi. The latter two topped only one of the qualification routes. Alex Megos also topped but was only given 13 points as he accidentally put some weight on the quickdraw, while clipping, when his foot cut loose. The big sensation was that Colin Duffy was #20 and Jesse Grupper #35. Jesse topped one route but toe-hooked outside the route on the second. Complete results

Natalia Grossman and Janja Garnbret did also top all three routes, as also Brooke Raboutou did but the latter was given 37 due to being timed out. Third is the ranking is Natsuki Tanii, who topped the semi but only one of the qualification routes. Complete results The finals starts 8.30 pm.

It should be mentioned that time will be crucial, especially among the males in the finals as 2 + 4 have the same results going into the finals. In other words, if Janja or Natalia get the same scoring, the faster will be ranked higher.
