Austrian Anna Stöhr and Russian Dmitry Sharafutdinov have won the Bouldering World Championships this weekend.

The event - this year based in Arco, Italy - was watched by a huge crowd of over 5000 spectators.

Sharafutnidov flashed three of the four final problems, and climbed the final one on his second attempt. Second placed Adam Ondra also topped out on all the final problems but needed three additional attempts , meaning Sharafutnidov pipped him to the post.

Stöhr qualified for the finals in sixth place, but topped out on all the final problems to take the gold medal. In second place was the young American Sasha DiGiulian, who was making her bouldering competition début. She only entered the bouldering so that she would have a score for the 'combined' ranking of lead and bouldering.

The World Championship lead competition is to be held later this week with a full report coming up on UKC.

Is climbing mags too oriented to West Europe and Usa and neglectic Russian and East asian climbers? Discuss

Are the western climbing media more focussed on western climbers? Well, yeah. Are the British climbing media more focused on British climbers? I'd bloody hope so. I'm sure if any international climber did something truly internationally significant then it would get reported, but you can't report everything. And this is indoor bouldering FFS, lets not get too excited.

The first woman climber made that look so easy. it's only when you see the rest struggling that you even get a clue of the difficulty!

Only indoor bouldering... so your saying the world championships are unimportant? No wonder we're not represented in these comps; they're way below us because we're British and trad is all that matters!

If you think about it I think climbers from eastern europe and asia get as much coverage as other competition climbers (even if this is just their name in the list of results). The reason why americans such as puccio have much more coverage are their achievements on rock which is what our climbing media is primarily focused on. Maybe this is as they don't have as much good quality climbing as other places but more likely it is as their attitude towards climbing is more sports based and therefor they spend most of their time focused upon inside training and competitions. Just a thought Ben
