Rubtsov and Nonaka won Studio Bloc Masters

Excellent route setting at Studio Bloc Master based only on volumes created nice spectacular show. The scores were presented visually making it easy to follow who was in the lead, although the commentators did not got it straight. In total, 509 male and female participated and both Alexsei Rubtsov and Miho Nonaka won, Euro 3 000, by attempts, having got the same score*. (c) Miho Nonaka 1. Alexsei Rubsov 44 (10A) - Miho Nonaka 33 (8) 2. Jan Hojer 44 (14) - Janja Garnbret 33 (9) 3. Jernej Kruder 34 - Fanny Gibert 24 Interesting was that Domen Skofic, who was #10 in the semifinal, would have been #4 and made it to the final with the old IFSC scoring. * The official rule, as of 2018, is to present the results based on the # of Tops and Zones. However, in order to simplify, 8a has presented the result as a point score. This was basically also how it was presented at SBM.
