Outsiders in Euro Champ in Munich

The European Championship in Munich starts 11/8 and some will compete for four days straight doing three rounds in Boulder and Lead respectively. This means that the athletes only doing one discipline have an advantage and that goes especially for the male athletes only doing Lead and the female athletes only doing Boulder, as these finals take place on day 4.

Here are 12 athletes that, furthermore, have only prepared for one discipline giving them a great chance for good results.
Males only doing Lead: Stefano Ghisolfi, Sebastien Halenke, Domen Skofic, Jorg Verhoeven, and Stefan Scherz.
Females only doing Boulder: Petra Klingler, Alma Bestvater, Afra Hönig, Katja Debevec, Fanny Gibert, Ayala Kerem and Johanna Färber.
