Meignan and Avezou Boulder Youth World Champions

France got both the golds in the oldest girls Boulder Youth World Championships in Russia. Naile Meignan first won the qualification and then she flashed all four problems in the semifinal before winning also the final. The 17-year-old has previously won six IFSC events in Bouldering and already in 2019, she was #6 among the seniors in the European Championship. Noteworthy is that she was probably the youngest junior competing as she is born December 18, 2003. Among the Youth A, Zélia Avezou (17) was #5 until the last boulder which she did second go getting the gold. Her mother Cecile was #4 in the World Championship in 2012, at age 40 and her big brothers Leo and Sam are regular World Cup climbers.

1. Naile Meignan FRA 34 - Zélia Avezou FRA 14 (2)
2. Emily Phillips GBR 24 - Sara Copar SLO 14 (3)
3. Lucija Tarkus SLO 23 - Alessia Mabboni ITA 13
