World Champion Mélanie Sandoz new 8a member

Melanie Sandoz who was the Boulder World Champion in 2012 has signed up to 8a with four 8A boulders and she is #9 in the ranking game. On saturday she will compete in the Boulder WC in China. Mélaine is a nice exception that great progress is possible on the competition arena. During her first eleven World Cups she just made it to the semifinal once where she was second last, #19. In the last competition in 2013, she got the bronze in the European Championship. More great picture from Heiko Wilhelm at Melaine's blogspot.
