Boulder World Cup 2012 report - Munich

Rustam Gelmanov and Anna Stöhr are the 2012 Boulder World Cup winners For Rustam a fourth place was enough because Kilian Fischhuber was already eliminated in Saturday's qualifying. (a tiny mistake in the first problem as you can see in the video) The day's victory in Munich fell to the flawlessly climbing Akiyo Noguchi from Japan and Dmitrii Sharafutdinov from Russia, who is suddenly in world-championship-shape again. Very pleasing from a German perspective: Juliane Wurm climbed to the podium, taking only 3 tries more than Akiyo and one more than Anna. In the men Sean McColl from Canada and Jakob Schubert from Austria finished second and third.   Perfect conditions in the final rounds and the biggest athletes participation attracted a huge audience response. 65 men and 51 women from 28 nations went to the start. A total of around 15,000 people wanted to see their performances. They were not disappointed: the finale at around 20 degrees and light winds prevailed perfect conditions for bouldering.

Sean McColl's flash of the men's "tie-break-problem"  of the adidas RockStars 2012 is one of the most impressive bouldering performance ever!

Boulder World Cup 2012 report - Vail

A rather mediocre World Cup Vail, Colorado (USA, by European and Asian Standards, but still the one with the best route setting of the season! Anna and Kilian played once again their gold symphony like in Innsbruck, with Anna already winning the World Cup 2012. Shauna Coxsey (GBR) and Sean McColl (CAN) - silver, Juliane Wurm (GER) and Jan Hojer (GER) - bronze, could not prevail on the Austrian super-couple. The boulder World Cup finals will take place in Munich, on August 25 and 26.

The 4th Boulder World Cup 2012 was held in the market square in beautiful Innsbruck surrounded by snow topped mountains...
