Rogora and Bailey win in Chamonix

Laura Rogora won in Chamonix being the only one topping out in a great fight, which was the highlight of the evening. Natalia Grossman continued showing great also in Lead, getting the silver. Third was Alex Totkova (16) who has improved from being #18 and #6 in her two first WCs. Vita Lukan lost the bronze due to countback. (c) Vladek Zumr

Among the male, unfortunately, the route was too hard but as in Villars, Sean Bailey got highest on the wall. Second and third were Stefano Ghisolfi and Martin Stranik who both fell as they tried to use a kneebar. Martin is a boulder specialist who got the silver in the World Championship in 2007! From the Complete results we can see that almost all of the Olympians did not take part.

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
