Only two days after Chamonix, the second round of the IFSC World Cup took place in the Swiss alpine village of Villars (15th-16th July). Sean McColl of Canada took first place with an impressive ascent, while Janja Garnbret continued her strong performance, achieving a second gold medal in this World Cup series.
The women's finals were even closer than in Chamonix, with four athletes achieving the same score. Jain Kim of Korea and Anak Verhoeven of Belgium had almost identical performances in the final and semi-final, however a countback to semis gave Anak a narrow victory and the silver once again. Jessica Pilz and Magdalena Röck, both of Austria, narrowly missed out on the podium.
Domen Skofic of Slovenia, the winner of the previous round, missed the men's finals. Thomas Joannes of France and Keiichiro Korenaga of Japan received a first World Cup medal each, getting slightly higher on the slopers than Sean Bailey who came fourth in this, his first finals. The two scored the same in the finals, but Keiichiro Korenaga took silver in a countback to the semi-finals. It was Sean McColl who got furthest on the route, taking gold in an impressive performance.
Next up, the climbers head to Briançon, France for the third World Cup of 2016.
