Sports Bulletin Report Koper (Slovenia):-The first-ever International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) World Cup in Koper, Slovenia, concluded tonight at Plus Climbing Koper, in front of thousands of loud and passionate fans. The show opened in the best possible way, as 20-year-old Slovenian climber Luka Potocar secured the first World Cup gold medal of his career on his home turf. Climbing third-to-last, Potocar concluded with the score of 30+, a few moves away from the top. Also with 30+ was Sascha Lehmann of Switzerland, who then took second position because of his lower placement in the semi-final round. Completing the podium in third place, Yannick Flohé of Germany added a bronze to the men’s Boulder gold he won in Brixen, Italy, earlier this year. Just outside of the podium, Yurikusa Ao of Japan finished fourth, followed by Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion Alberto Ginés López of Spain, fifth, and three more Japanese athletes: Homma Taisei, Ogata Yoshiyuki, and Yoshida Satone, respectively in sixth, seventh and eighth position. The 18-year-old from Ibaraki, Japan, came back after a three-year hiatus, which she used to focus on her university studies, climbing atop the World Cup podium in her first IFSC event participation since the IFSC Combined Qualifier in Toulose, France, in December 2019. Mori finished with the score of 30+, while Garnbret concluded with 27+. Pocketing her sixth World Cup medal of the season, Brooke Raboutou of the USA placed third and won bronze with 23+. Fellow Olympians Seo Chaehyun of South Korea, Jessica Pilz of Austria, and Mia Krampl of Slovenia placed at the feet of the podium in fourth, fifth, and sixth place. Natalia Grossman of the USA concluded seventh, while Hélène Janicot of France placed eighth in her first final round participation of the 2022 season. The next stage of the IFSC World Cup Series 2022 will take place in Edinburgh, Scotland, Great Britain, from 9 to 11 September.  

Sports Bulletin Report Munich (Germany):-As the rain began to fall on Munich’s Königsplatz, it did nothing to dampen the celebrations from Austria’s Jakob Schubert who claimed the final gold medal of the European Championships Sport Climbing competition. Crowds and climbers alike have enjoyed a spectacular stadium bathed in sunshine all week, but as the final climbers took to the wall in the men’s Boulder & Lead final the rain began to fall on the vocal sell-out crowd. A few raindrops could do nothing to stop the crowds cheering on their heroes though in a final battle for medals which went down to the wire. Earlier in the Championships Adam Ondra of the Czech Republic had secured himself a Lead gold and Boulder bronze, and finishing the Boulder section of the B&L final in the lead - topping three problems – things were looking good for a third medal. Hot on his heels was France’s Sam Avezou, who himself had a Munich 2022 silver medal under his belt from Boulder, and Olympic bronze medallist Jakob Schubert of Austria. Along with Mejdi Schalck of France, the top four had all topped three problems and were within 0.2 points of each other. Spain’s Olympic champion Alberto Ginés López was back in fifth topping two problems, 19 points behind leader Ondra. As the B&L Lead section got into full swing, the French athletes failed to make an impact whereas Ginés Lópezshowed why he was Olympic champion. He got to hold 48 for a 90 score and moved into the medal positions. It was down to Ondra and Schubert now. The Austrian fell just short as he reached for the top hold for a score of 95.1, 175.6 overall, and a gold medal position – for now. All he could do was watch on to see what rival Ondra could do. “I wasn’t so nervous watching Adam [Ondra] as when I fell, I knew I had silver,” said Schubert. “I was like 99% sure I would have a silver and 100% sure Adam would get really close to me. It came as a bit of a surprise that he didn’t climb the top as well as me and fell before me. It doesn’t happen often.” The Czech climber fell as he reached for what would be the gold medal hold scoring 90.1, 170.8 overall, and the silver medal. Schubert’s face lit up as he hugged his competitors – one of which was Ginés López who had slipped down to the bronze medal position. “It definitely feels amazing,” said Schubert. “Not because it’s a medal, but because it’s a gold medal. This whole event has been amazing and so has the crowd. Every round has felt like a final. I was missing a medal though. I was a bit sad with my fourth place in Lead and now I’m happy to have this memory of a medal because it’s what this event deserves.” On winning his third medal of the European Championships and completing the gold, silver and bronze set, Ondra said: “I enjoyed today because I knew that no matter what I did after the individual disciplines, no matter what I do in the B&L finals, it would be a successful competition.

Sports Bulletin Report Munich (Germany):-Janja Garnbret came into Munich 2022 having never won European Championships gold. After tonight’s women’s Boulder & Lead competition, she will return home to Slovenia literally weighted down with the precious metal. Garnbret swept all three women’s competitions over the past week, first taking the individual Lead title, followed by the individual Boulder, and finally the Boulder & Lead (B&L) crown this evening, the first ever champion in the new format that will feature at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 in two years’ time. The queen of Climbing scored an almost perfect 199.9 in the B&L final, the only blemish coming at problem four of the Boulder competition. Garnbret slipped off the wall attempting a transition, crashing down hard on her lower back. She appeared to be in some discomfort immediately after the fall, but the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Champion dusted herself off and promptly topped the problem on her next attempt. She never looked back. In the Lead final she was one of only three athletes to collect a full 100.0 points, along with silver medallist Mia Krampl of Slovenia and bronze medallist Jessica Pilz of Austria. “Being three-times European champion sounds good, but it feels even better,” Garnbret said, adding that she may be in need of a new trophy cabinet after her time in Munich.  “One shelf broke not long ago. The things on it were too heavy,” she said. “If it’s too small I will buy a bigger one, but when I look at my cabinet and medals I’m like ‘Whoa, when did this happen?’ because time flies as I’m competing so much and sometimes you have to stop and realise what you have achieved because it is incredible.”  Having gone three for three in Munich, it will likely come as no surprise to learn that Garnbret has a soft spot for the Bavarian capital.  Slovenian teammate Krampl, meanwhile, made up for the disappointment of finishing just out of the medals in the individual Lead, where she placed fourth. Krampl entered today’s competition ranked seventh and will be pleased with her confident performance, which resulted in a score of 180.9.  “Before this competition, I was focusing more on Lead, so for the B&L competition I had no expectations,” Krampl said of the new Olympic format. “It was more like checking what the new format looked like and I said to myself I want to go climb and enjoy myself, and that is why I got a medal.” With the temperature hitting 32 degrees on the Königsplatz and the crowd being hosed down from the front of the stage, expectations were also rising for a second medal of the week for Germany’s Hannah Meul, who won silver in the individual Boulder event. The 21-year-old headed into today’s Lead final tied for second after a brilliant run of three tops in the Boulder competition. But the 80.9 points she collected were not enough to propel her onto the podium after she only managed to reach hold 43 on the Lead wall. It was a disappointing end to an otherwise terrific week for Meul, who nevertheless said she will use her performances here in Munich as inspiration for better results to come. “I can’t be angry but I’m disappointed,” Meul said of today’s result. “I had high expectations for a second medal. If you win one medal you are excited and want more and more, but it was so close. “I really showed how strong I am on Boulder and really gave my best, but in Lead it was so close. I know I will get better and will use this as a motivating factor for the next competition.” BOULDER & LEAD (B&L) The new format to be used at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 made its official competitive. Unlike the Combined format that featured at Sport Climbing’s Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020 last summer, Paris 2024 will see medals awarded to Speed athletes separately, as well as to climbers in the new B&L discipline, the rules for which were officially published earlier this year in the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC)’s Rules 2022. The top eight climbers from this weekend’s individual Boulder and Lead competitions, based on their cumulative performances in both disciplines, competed today. The men are set to follow on Thursday, the last day of Sport Climbing at Munich 2022, with the Boulder round starting at 3:00 pm (UTC+2) and the Lead round beginning at 5:00 pm.

Sports Bulletin Report Munich (Germany):-The Polish women dominated proceedings at the European Championships Munich 2022 as they locked out the podium of the women’s speed final before Ukraine’s Danyil Boldyrev danced with delight at taking the men’s title. For the third day in a row, a full house at the Königsplatz in Munich, Germany, watched on excitedly as the speedsters went to work on the 15m Speed wall as the crowds cheered every race and tight finish. Looking at the start list for the women’s event, it was hard to look past a strong Polish squad of five climbers which included a current world champion and world record holder. And they didn’t disappoint. Three medals were assured for the nation as the semifinal line up was made up of Aleksandra Miroslaw, Natalia Kalucka, Aleksandra Kalucka and Patrycja Chudziak – who knocked out compatriot Anna Brozek in the quarterfinal, all representing Poland.  World record holder Miroslaw was a second clear of Chudziak in her semifinal and awaited one of the Kalucka sisters who faced off in the other semi. It was Aleksandra who just edged the sibling rivalry to advance for a shot at the gold while Natalia had to battle for bronze.  The final was a tense affair with Miroslaw seeming to stall near the start of the route, but she kept her cool as Aleksandra Kalucka looked to have a stutter of her own to let her rival edge ahead. Miroslaw tapped the top at 6.922 to take gold with Kalucka just behind with 7.085 and a silver medal. "I was prepared for this for the whole year,” said Miroslaw. “I was always expecting that my championship competition would be the best one. Sometimes it is not very good, like last year's world championship, but I know that I took a lesson (from that) and I wanted to win here this European title." In the bronze medal match Natalia Kalucka ensured she joined her sister on the podium by tapping at 7.197 compared to Chudziak’s 7.459. Natalia Kalucka said: “I’m really happy because this year was really hard for me and I’m very proud of myself and my sister. I like competing with my sister.”

Sports Bulletin Report Munich (Germany):-Slovenia’s Janja Garnbret claimed her second European Championship gold medal in as many days in front of another packed out crowd at the Königsplatz in Munich, Germany, before Adam Ondra of the Czech Republic also secured his second medal of the Championships. Fresh off a maiden European victory in yesterday’s Lead competition, Garnbret quickly added another Munich 2022 title by taking Boulder gold, but the Slovenian had to come back from a slow start to take the top step of the podium. As home favourite Hannah Meul and France’s Oriane Bertone both topped the first Boulder, Garnbret only managed to take a zone. The second problem was a totally different story though. With only Fanny Gibert of France reaching the zone, Garnbret entered the arena, quickly flashed the problem, and exited at the top of the rankings. Another flashed third Boulder and a final zone secured her medal. “Today was tough,” said Garnbret. “I started off pretty badly with the first boulder, not doing it, but I didn't panic. I just said to myself, ‘look, you have three boulders in front of you, anything can happen' and I continued to have fun.” Germany’s Meul had tried to put the pressure on Garnbret by flashing the third problem of the evening, but that in turn ultimately put pressure on the rest of the final’s competitors for the medal positions. Obviously buoyed by the home support, and asking for more noise whenever she needed it, Meul was spurred on to secure silver with fewer attempts for her two tops and three zones ahead of Bertone who took bronze.

Sports Bulletin Report Munich (Germany):-A sell-out crowd was in attendance at the Königsplatz in Munich, Germany to see Austria's Nicolai Uznik take men's Boulder gold and Slovenia’s Janja Garnbret claim yet another title, one that had been missing from her very impressive collection.  A European title had eluded Garnbret so far in her climbing career, but she was determined to change all that right from the start of the European Championships Munich 2022. The Olympic champion led the women's Lead qualification, led the semifinals, and took gold with a 50+ from a 51-hold final climb.  “It feels amazing to tick the remaining box,” said Garnbret:“The European Championships is probably one of the hardest to win because you are expected to win it. If you can win World Cups, then people think that you should also win the European Championships. That's how it is. “It was definitely one of the hardest mentally to win. That's why I'm even happier with my performance and my mentality throughout all competition.”  Looking on as Garnbret climbed to gold was Austria’s Jessica Pilz who had set the target of 45+ for her rival. Pilz knew sitting top with just Garnbret to come that she would have an upgraded European medal from the two bronze’s she had previously won. She just didn’t know what colour it would be. Unfortunately for the Austrian it wasn’t the top step this time as she had to settle for silver.  Pilz said: “It was super fun to climb like that and the crowd was amazing. The route was also pretty nice to climb. It was a super long route, but it was fun. “I think I had the wrong boulder in the end because I tried it fast, and it was better to go slow but I’m still happy about second place. It was a great performance.” Manon Hily of France had been climbing well and was near the top of the qualification standings and semifinals. As Hily reached 41 to move to 42 she came off the wall and looked visibly disappointed. Her 41+ was enough for a bronze medal though above fourth placed Mia Krampl of Slovenia. “I was very excited, and I felt in good shape, so all was good for me today. The route was not so tricky. It was a very good climb,” said Hily. In fifth position was Aleksandra Totkova of Bulgaria who matched Krampl’s 40+ just ahead of Eliska Adamovska of the Czech Republic who finished sixth. The home crowd favourite, Germany’s Hannah Meul was seventh overall reaching 37 as Ukrainian Ievgeniia Kazbekova rounded out the final standings in eighth with 18+. The evening session of the European Championships Munich 2022 saw the men’s Boulder competition take centre stage, following the women’s Lead competition, with Austria’s Nicolai Uznik crowned champion. The packed out Königsplatz was treated to a tense finale to the day’s competition as the three top semifinal qualifiers battled it out for medals. Uznik, Adam Ondra of the Czech Republic and France’s Sam Avezou all came into the final performing well and were ahead going on to the final Boulder. All three had two tops and two zones but it was Uznik who rose above his rivals with fewer attempts in his performance. “That's one of the coolest competitions I've ever competed in,” said Uznik. “Especially with such a big and awesome crowd, you just want to deliver a show. That's what I tried to do because after the first boulder I felt I couldn't really climb anymore. So, I was thinking okay let's enjoy this and at least put on a good show. Try to give all I have and it turned out to be pretty good.” Taking the silver medal was Avezou who has tasted European success multiple times at Youth Cup and Youth Championship level, although the Frenchman couldn’t quite fully believe it: “I’m very happy, but I can’t process it right now. I did my best and that was all I could do.” Ondra had a chance to snatch a gold or silver medal as the very final competitor, but like all the finalists struggled to solve the problem. “Let's say I wasn't born to do it,” said Ondra. “I was pretty happy how relatively close I got but nevertheless, I was still quite far away.” The Olympian took a hiatus following Tokyo 2020 and returned with a gold at the IFSC World Cup in Chamonix last month, he now has a European bronze to add to his comeback: “It feels great [to win bronze]. I didn't have any particular goals for Boulder, I was really happy with proceeding to the final. In the final I could enjoy my time and know that it's a bronze medal,” said Ondra. Despite being the only climber to reach the zone for the fourth problem, France’s Mejdi Schalck finished outside the podium in fourth position. A flash on the third Boulder also couldn’t help Filip Schenk of Italy make an impact in the final and he finished fifth overall. Former European champion Jernej Kruder of Slovenia was the only climber not to top which meant a sixth-place finish.

Sports Bulletin Report Munich (Germany):-Top climbers of the world will compete in the European Climbing Championships, which will be held from 11 to 18 August 11 to 18, 2022 in the Munich, the capital city of Germany. The Munich 2022 sports programme will feature more than 4,400 athletes, 158 medal events, 50 participating nations, 16 disciplines, 12 European championships, 11 days of competition, and nine Olympic sports, all as part of one multi-sport event. In only the second edition of the European Championships, 200 climbers from 26 nations will compete for eight sets of medals with the three Sport Climbing disciplines of Boulder, Lead, and Speed featuring alongside the new Olympic format, Boulder and Lead combined. Set to be used at Paris 2024, the European Championships presents the opportunity for athletes to experience the new combined Boulder and Lead format in a competitive environment as climbers from the Boulder and Lead competitions gain points in the hope of making the combined top eight overall, and with it the chance for another medal. Going for glory and the title of European Champions will be a host of stars of the sport as Olympic champions, world champions, World Cup winners and record holders all fight it out at the multi-sport event. Janja Garnbret is not only the current Olympic champion but has also been unstoppable in the 2022 Lead season. The Slovenian has a perfect four from four record on the World Cup circuit taking wins in Innsbruck, Villars, Chamonix, and Briançon. Although the Tokyo 2020 gold medallist missed most of the Boulder season to focus on Lead, she has to be a hot favourite for a medal across Boulder, Lead, and the combined events. Jessica Pilz of Austria is fresh off a Lead gold at the World Games in Birmingham, Alabama, USA, last month and will come into the European Championships with medal winning confidence. There will be hopes of a home win from Germany’s Hannah Meul who took silver in Boulder at the World Cup in Innsbruck. It will be hard to look past Poland in the women’s Speed event who boast the current world champion Natalia Kalucka, the current world record holder Aleksandra Miroslaw and Aleksandra Kalucka who is coming off the back of a PB and silver medal at the World Cup in Chamonix. Hoping that a home crowd will lift her on to the Speed podium will be Germany’s Franziska Ritter who claimed a bronze medal at the World Games in Birmingham. The men’s Speed competitions has been dominated by the Asian nations of late, so the chance for the European athletes to take the limelight will surely bring some intense competition. Erik Noya Cardona of Spain has broken the Asian stronghold on Speed medals recently at the World Cup in Chamonix by taking a silver medal. Yaroslav Tkach of Ukraine has also claimed a podium finish with a bronze at The World Games. Compatriot Danyil Boldyrev will hope to recapture the form that saw him take a world record in 2014, a record that stood for three years. At the last Lead World Cup in Briançon there were two German’s pushing for medals. Alexander Megos made the final step of the podium taking a bronze just ahead of teammate Yannick Flohé. With a home crowd roaring them on they will be hoping for a strong performance and some more silverware. Competition will be tough though with Adam Ondra of the Czech Republic returning to action with a bang, and a gold medal, following a post Olympics hiatus. Ondra took Lead World Cup Chamonix gold at the start of July. With a new Olympic format on show it’s hard not to talk about the current Olympic champion, Alberto Ginés López. The Spanish climber will be looking to defend his title at Paris 2024 so putting down an early marker in the new format would be a great way to show his rivals he means business. Competition starts on Thursday, 11 August at 12:00 PM (UTC +2:00) with the women’s Lead qualification and culminates with the Boulder & Lead finals on Thursday, 18 August.  SCHEDULE (UTC+2:00) Thursday, 11 August: 12:00 PM - Women’s Lead qualification 1:00 PM - Men’s Boulder qualification Friday, 12 August: 12:00 AM - Men’s Lead qualification 1:00 PM - Women’s Boulder qualification Saturday, 13 August: 9:00 AM - Women’s Lead semi-final 12:00 PM - Men’s Boulder semi-final 4:00 PM - Women’s Lead final 5:30 PM - Men’s Boulder final Sunday, 14 August: 9:00 AM - Women’s Boulder semi-final 12:00 PM - Men’s Lead semi-final 4:00 PM - Women’s Boulder final 6:45 PM - Men’s Lead final Monday, 15 August: 2:00 PM - Women’s Speed qualification 2:30 PM - Men’s Speed qualification 3:30 PM - Women's Speed final 3:45 PM - Men's Speed final Wednesday, 17 August: 3:00 PM - Women's Boulder & Lead final, Boulder round 5:00 PM - Women's Boulder & Lead final, Lead round Thursday, 18 August: 3:00 PM - Men's Boulder & Lead final, Boulder round 5:00 PM - Men's Boulder & Lead final, Lead round
