German Team coach celebrates Flohé wins also the semi

Hard semifinal round in Brixen and it was not until Yannick Flohé, starting last as he won the qualification, that all boulders got topped. The umbrellas of all spectators and athletes were lifted to the clear blue sky and everyone was screaming. The new german coach, Sagi Damti from Israel (in the picture), who the head coach Ingo says is the main reason why the German has strengthened their mental game, was jumping up and down almost dancing. (Interesting interview is coming up).

Second and third were Meichi (188 cm) and Tomoa Narasaki (170 cm). In the end, you had to score 23 in five attempts to make it to the final. The much taller little brother said, "This was my round. It was nice to be a little taller with a good reach." and he shows his big span and smiles. The other three who made it to the semifinal were Maximillian Milne, Yoshiyuki Ogata and Dohyun Lee.

Possibly the first boulder was a little bit reachy and the shortest athlete making it was Jakob Schubert 176 cm. As all previous rounds have had perfect route setting, it should also be mentioned that the zone placement on boulder 3 should have been placed one move lower as only three climbers made the zone.
