Barcelona (ESP) - The heat of Barcelona seems to have shuffled the cards of the 2011 Boulder World Cup, as the favorites Kilian Fischhuber and Anna Stohr (AUT) did not make it to the podium in the competition set by Reini Fichtinger.

In the women's field, Akiyo Noguchi was the only one to complete all four problems, while second ranked Alex Puccio just sent 2, although getting close to top of the second boulder. Third the Frenchwoman Melissa Le Neve, with 2 tops in Finals and one top less than Puccio in the Semis.

Guillame Glairon Mondet seized his victory and the gold medal by flashing the fourth problem. Behind him, two Russians, Rustam Gelmanov and Dmitry Sharafutdinov, the only one to make it on problem number four together with the French winner.

Anna Stohr and Kilian Fischhuber maintain the lead of the WC Ranking 2011, although the Austrian's advantage over Noguchi and Puccio has been reduced to little more than 50 points, while Sharafutdinov trails Fischhuber by 29 points. Sheffield next week will give an hint of who might win the World Cup 2011: after Sheffield, the Boulder World Cup will take a break until the last competition of the year, in Munich.
