Great to see Janja win a senior event at last. So close in her first WC when she topped out on the final route. One of the highlights of the season I thought. Couldn't help feeling the rest of the competitors looked a little bit below par at the moment though. Anna Storr's late arrival meant she missed the rest day, and she was injured earlier in the year. Shauna, also injured earlier in the year. Jula's now retired and didn't look as fit as usual.

Next year's boulder WC could be really interesting with hopefully the return of the Puch and Megan Mascaranas too. Too bad Janja won't be doing the boulder comps though it'll still be great to see her doing the lead events.

Thought the routes at this comp were really well set. Great moves. And commentary by Liam Londsdale was like a breath of fresh air after the IFSC pro commentators who just don't know enough about climbing to be interesting.
