Coxsey and Watabe Win Nanjing Boulder World Cup 2017

The 2017 stop in Nanjing for the IFSC World Cup took place on April 29 nd 30 in front of big crowds. British climber Shauna Coxsey took top spot for Women and Keita Watabe of Japan won for the Men in Bouldering.

It was hot at the outdoor event with temperatures over 30°C, creating less than optimal friction climbing conditions.

Canadian results: Sean McColl finished in 18th in Boulder 32nd in Speed, Alannah Yip in 21st in Boulder and Speed, Jj Mah in 37th, Seb Lazure in 47th, Elan Jonas McRae in 71st in Boulder and 40th in Speed and Jake Tiger in 82nd.
