Tomoa Narasaki wins in Keqiao China

Tomoa Narasaki won his seventh Boulder World Cup. The runner-up was Sorato Anraku, the overall WC winner in both Lead and Boulder in 2023. Narasaki won by flashing two boulders and all four zones meanwhile 17-year-old Anraku needed four tries for his two tops. Hannes van Duysen, who last year won the Lead Youth World Championship and took the bronze in Boulder, completed the podium. The final round was cancelled due to bad weather and the top six were also among the top eight after the qualification.

Narasaki: "I’m happy to take the win. It’s important to get focussed on the Olympic Games and it starts now with this win. I just have to continue training now for the Games." More quotes can be found on the IFSC website and here are their highlights and more.
