Mejdi was the only one topping out two boulders in the final in Hachioji and by doing so he won his second Boulder World Cup victory. Hannes' previous best Boulder WC result was #31, out of three events, and last year he won the Youth Worlds. Paul, who won the semifinal, was #4 in Salt Lake City last year. A male podium without anybody from Japan is very rare and possibly this was the worst result for team Japan for several years. BetaRoutsetting youtube analyses.
