Schubert and Garnbret win in Arco

Janja Garnbret got her 13th World Cup victory in Arco. In the last 15 Lead and Bouldering World Cups she has entered, her worst result is bronze and she has won ten. Among the male, Jakob Schubert got his 19th Lead victory. The route setting was not at it's best as the best male just came two thirds of the route and for the female, time was an issue. At the same time, it should be mentioned that the route setting was perfect in both the qually and the semi. 1. Jakob Schubert - Janja Garnbret 2. Stefano Ghisolfi - Jessica Pilz 3.
