4 Tops and Lettner wins overall with 6 seconds

Hannah Meul started first out, as she had the worst results in qualification, and set the standard by topping out with ease. She took two long rest further down but as she understood the route was way to easy she speed up, although chalked up before getting to another jug at the top. All the five remaining did probably know Hannah had topped but even so, nobody could beat her time. The last one out was the overall leader Laura Lammer who only needed to be fourth to win overall. Nevertheless, the young Austrian climbed faster than the rest taking almost no rest and fell on the second last hold. (c) Eddie Fowke 1. Sandra Lettner 3 - 3 - 2 = 18 2. Vita Lukan 6 - 1 - 3 = 18 3. Laura Lammer 1 - 4 - 5 = 20 4. Hannah Meul 4 - 5 - 1 = 20 5. Elena Krasovskaia 2 - 6 - 4 = 48 6. Mao Nakamura 5 - 2 - 6 = 60 Complete results Interestingly, if Lammer had topped and finished #2 in Lead, she would have won (at 8 points), Meul would have been second (20), Vita Lukan third (24) and Lettner fourth (27).
