Mejdi Schalck (18) won his second consecutive Boulder World Cup by onsighting two boulders and getting one extra zone. (8a interview published last Friday.) Tomoa Narasaki was runner-up needing six attempts for topping two boulders and Jongwon Chon was third, also topping two boulders. Due to rain on the first day, the semifinal was the final round and actually half of the 20 participants did not make any tops.
The women also faced a tough round with few tops and in the end, Olympic silver medalist, Miho Nonaka won by topping two boulders and getting one zone extra. Oriane Bertone got the silver with two tops in four attempts meanwhile Brooke Raboutou was awarded the bronze, needing ten attempts for her two tops. Similar to the men, eleven out of the 20 participants did not get any tops.
Nonaka Miho: โIโm so happy. Iโm delighted to win this gold medal. I donโt know what to say. Iโve competed for so long and itโs been five years since I won at a Boulder World Cup. It feels crazy. Iโm happy.โ
Mejdi Schalck: โI think I donโt really realise what is happening. Itโs just crazy. I just wanted to come here and do my best, climb and have fun. Itโs crazy, I donโt think I realise actually what is happening.โ
