New female Zlagboard record by Nika Potapova (14)
Nika Potapova, who has been totally superior in the European Cup this year, has set a new female Zlagboard record with 02:02:94 in a Vertical-Life event during the World Cup in Chamonix. Video
Although many world class climbers had a go, only 12 climbers (10 male, 2 female) have managed to hang for more than 2 minutes. Ramรณn Puigblanque has the current record at 02:44.35. The organizers of the Zlagboard Contest promise 1,500โฌ for a new hangtime record. Nika will be able to go for the prize money when she turns 16 in 2019.
