Fourth for Indiana Chapman in Youth Worlds Boulder
Ontario climber Indiana Chapman was in fine form in Youth B Boulder at the IFSC Youth World Championships this weekend in Innsbruk, Austria.
After Qualifying for Semis and heading to Finals in third, she ended the competition in an impressive fourth.
She flashed the first boulder in Finals, which got the crowd going. As the snow fell on the mountains behind the venue and the temperatures dipped to single digits, the conditions were perfect for bouldering.
On the second boulder, Chapman made it to the bonus but couldn’t top it. The third boulder had a massive first-move dyno that shut everyone down but one. The fourth boulder has big dynamic moves which prevented Chapman from reaching the Bonus.
