New stars will be born in Chamonix and Briancon

Very few of the Olympians are registered to compete in the Lead World Cups in Chamonix and Briancon probably creating the golden opportunity of the history. In Chamonix, five Olympians are registered to compete and then in Briancon, only Alberto Gines Lopez and Jessica Pilz are on the starting list. Based on the World ranking only one of the Top-10, respectively five of the Top-25, female are registered to compete in Briancon.

After the Olympics, there are one Lead WC in Slovenia coming up followed by the World Championship in Moscow. The last Lead World Cup of 2021 is scheduled in China in October. When it comes to the overall Lead World Cup, I would be surprised if even half of the Olympians will continue doing all the World Cups after Tokyo. In other words, 2021 should be the golden opportunity for all the non-Olympians to win overall or get the best ranking in their career. There will be new stars born in Chamonix and Briancon.

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
