After two French climbers made the male podium in Prague, women are looking for a rehearsal with Oriane Bertone and Agathe Calliet the two main athletes who cross the semi-final of the IFSC Boulder World Cup.
Bertone won the previous one in Prague and, like the winner last night, Mejdi Schalck, hopes a little “return” to solidify the level she knows.
Bertone said: “When I was in Quéis, I traveled the same corridors I made when I won, and I feel happy, and I want to show again that I can do it.
“The first three comps were frustrating for me because I know I have the level of doing great things, but I’m so close and I don’t do it yet. And if I could do it here, it would be so great. ”
The French climber was the only one around three of the four rocks, and if you dive into the statistics, it is probably the climber to spend the least time on the wall, and it is a conscious decision: “I haven’t had much volume since I started climbing again.
“I took two months of leave after the matches and the volume is not my great strength for the moment, so I try less but with more quality than trying a lot and waste tests. He is waste energy, and I want to avoid this.”
Speaking specifically about her round, Bertone said: “I am very happy because I have exceeded a bunch of rocks. I’m a little disappointed not to exceed the last, it was just a little weird, and I couldn’t find my way.
“It was a flash or a failure rock. Railing again was a little hard, it was very arrogant, and being big it was quite difficult – not an excuse, just I know now what I have to work on. ”
With 84.8 pts, Bertone sits first with his teammate Calliet just behind in second with 69.7 pts. Two tops and two areas obtained last place for Calliet.
France is not the only nation with two climbers in the final, Japan and Great Britain also have several chances of podium.
Sekikawa Melody finished third for Japan on 69.5 pts and it is joined by Matsufuji Anon who was one of the only two to go beyond the last rock, which meant that she jumped in the fifth spouse, but also meant that he pushed another teammate outside the final with Nonaka Miho the Night Oneth.
Erin McNice of Great Britain made another final with 69.3 points for fourth and is joined by his teammate and finalist for the first time Emma Edwards.
Edwards was the first on the carpets in the semi-finals, so he had a lot of time waiting and looking to see if she would. She finally did it, sharing fifth place with Matsufuji on 54.5 pts.
During his wait, Edward said: “The finals would be my dream, so I would like to get there, but whatever, I am satisfied with the way I climbed, and we just see what’s going on.”
Fortunately for her, what happened was a last place and a dream come true.
Speaking specifically about your round Edwards said: “I think I’m quite happy with the way it happened. I was happy to go beyond coordination because I like coordination and I really wanted to do it in a comp. Obviously, errors, but overall, I am happy. ”
The last two climbers to line up for the final will be Jennifer Buckley in Slovenia and Gelia Macià Macià Macià in Spain.
Buckley has already won a World Cup medal in Innsbruck last season. Macià Martín is only in his second Boulder World Cup. The two will hope that the success of the medal on the scene of the worlds of youth can result in the elders and a place on the podium will be the result.
The female final at 6.30 p.m. will be the last act of the Boulder IFSC Prague 2025 World Cup.
