Rustam Gelmanov and Anna Stöhr win Bouldering World Cup 2012
The women’s competition proved a true battle of nerves and while the best in the Qualification, Mina Markovic from Slovenia, surprisingly lost her way in the Semi-Final, the four problems in the Final were sent by all six finalists except for Mélanie Sandoz. Tension was palpable and every attempt would turn out to be decisive: to send all 4 problems Anna Gallyamova needed 11 attempts, Melissa Le Neve needed 10, home-athlete Juliane Wurm 6 to win bronze, and Anna Stöhr a mere 5 to win silver. And gold? Well, last night Akiyo proved impeccable with a match-winning run: 4 boulders sent, all straight off! This extraordinary performance confirmed her second place in the World Cup 2012 standings, immediately behind Anna Stöhr who had already secured her third World Cup win one round early, and ahead of England’s Shauna Coxsey who could do nothing to defend her lead in this final round because of an injury she incurred at Switzerland’s Magic Wood.
