Avezou & Rogora winners in Youth A Bouldering

Kind of strange finals for Youth A in bouldering. A bit too easy for the boys and too hard for the girls. All three medalists among the male got almost identical results as they all did four tops in just five tries. The two best did take the four zones in five tries meanwhile the bronze guy needed five tries. For the female, only two of the boulders were done and the winner, Laura Rogara flashed them both. (c) Eddie Fowke Complete results 1. Laura Rogora 23 - Sam Avezou 44 (5/4) 2. Lucka Rakovec 14 (4) - Eneko Carretero 44 (5/4) 3. Futaba Ito 14 (5) - Nathan Martin 44 /5/5) Overall, Japan has been the best country in bouldering with one gold and two bronzes. The big sensation is that Austria has not had one finalists!
