IFSC Climbing World Cup Moscow 2019 - Bouldering - Highlights

For the bouldering stage, route setters quickly raised the bar very high only allowing 7 tops in the entire Semi-Finals, creating a real challenge for those wanting to advance to the finals. The finals were a different story. In order for the athletes to have even reached the podium they would have needed to top all 4 problems.
