World Cup starts 07:00 on Friday in Munich

There are 175 males scheduled to compete in the Boulder WC on Friday in Munich. One reason for this is that up to the semi, the event also counts as the European Championship which means bigger interest from Europe. The isolation closes 06:30 and at 07:00, Jongwon Chon and Alexey Rubtsov start competing followed by the lower ranked. In practice this means that the guys competing for the overall title need to wake up at the latest 04:30 in order to be able to perform maximum power and dynos in full swing at seven o'clock. The last male out will start around 14:30 after having spent eight hours in isolation. At the same time both the temperature and the friction will be worse after 85 guys have put chalk on the holds in the two groups.
