Schubert wins ahead of his home crowd

Stefano Ghisoli qualified to the final based on countback with three other climbers. Then first out in the final, he reached the second last hold. Later, the next four climbers seem to fall mainly due to technical route reading mistakes high up on the route. Third last out is Jakob Schubert finding Ghisolfi's beta with a very high heel hook on the crux and then having good control until the last hold before the top jug. Last out is Adam Ondra and we can all see how incredible tight shoes he has when he puts them on just before starting to climb. It was raining and most climbers did just put on the shoes on stage.

He started in his normal fast style but suddenly slips with his right hand and also his right foot cut loose. Swinging out his bent left arm gets straightened out be he hangs on. Then he takes a long rest to recover but then again after just a couple of moves his right foot cut loose. "It is just this crazy slip. It is almost unnatural. It almost feels like his shoes were wet or something." Commentator Alex Khazanov is pretty shocked by what he saw.
In the winner interview, Jakob shows great sportsmanship saying that he would have liked seeing what Ondra could have done at the top.
