In the men's event, Alex Megos reigned supreme on the technical, crimpy headwall, just failing to latch the finishing jug to claim his first ever Gold in an IFSC lead event. Romain Desgranges (FRA) and Domen Skofic (SLO) weren't too far behind, at 42+ and 43 respectively.

Following her first win in Chamonix the previous week, Jessy Pilz (AUT) was a strong contender for the top spot in Briançon, topping the final route with ease. However Slovenian superstar Janja Garnbret got back into the swing of her winning routine and also topped, taking the win on countback to the semi-final, which she dominated by 5 extra moves ahead of Jessy. Anak Verhoeven failed to latch the finishing hold to place third.
