Jan Hojer and Juliane Wurm new European Bouldering Champions

Jan Hojer and Juliane Wurm are the new European Bouldering Champions. Battling in front of a huge audience in Innsbruck’s Marktplatz the two Germans won the continental title, beating by a small margin Adam Ondra and Anna Stöhr. Wurm’s victory is her second major title after winning the World Bouldering Championship in Munich last year. Third place went to the two revelations of this competition, Austria’s Katharina Saurwein and Italy’s Stefan Scarperi who completed an extraordinary top on boulder #3 that no one else even got close to. Our competition report, courtesy of Franz Schiassi, will follow in due course.
