Jaubert and Shikov win Speed and Ogata got 7.55

Anouck Jaubert from France and Alexandr Shikov from Russia won the Speed event in Villars. Overall, Mawem Bassa got the three fastest times always below 5.89 until the finals where he made big mistakes. Interesting is that there were an incident, like false start or major mistake, in half of the 32 final races. Among the Combined athletes, Yushiyuki Ogata from Japan impressed with 7.55. Tomoa Narasaki was first recorded with 7.22 but later "false start". Other big names were not that fast; Jernej Kruder 9.20 and Alex Megos 13.18. Among the female, Miho Nonaka from Japan got 9.84 and Petra Klingler from Switzerland got 9.94. The most impressive Lead and Boulder female; Janja Garnbret and Akiyo Noguchi, run in 11.65 and 12.15.
