Janja Garnbret wins her 17th Boulder WC

Janja Garnbret was the only one to top all four boulders in the Innsbruck World Cup. During the last 25 Boulder World Cups and World Championship, since 2017, Janja has placed no lower than second.

“I was a little bit stressed today, to be honest. First, I very much enjoyed the semi-final, it was a hard round, the boulders were very hard, but this is what we train for. The final felt a little bit easier, I needed to stay focused until the end, and I’m happy that I managed to do it, I’m happy for the last boulder which was the hardest. It was a great test before Paris, I feel great.

Runner-up was her 17-year-old Slovenian team mate, Jennifer Eucharia Buckley followed by 16-year-old Anastasia Sanders.

It should be noted that out of the Top-12 in the recent Olympic qualification in Budapest, only Chaehyun Seo participated in Innsbruck. Complete results.
