The 2015 Bouldering World Cup Results From Munich

The last Bouldering World Cup wrapped up in Munich on August 15 in front of a sold out venue. 

A number of Canadians were at the finale of the World Cup season and over a dozen competed in the qualifications. It was one of the largest competitive fields ever for a World Cup and the competition was fierce. No Canadian advanced to semi-finals, but most were on hand to witness the final round.

In first for the women was U.K. climber Shauna Coxsey, who flashed all four finals problems. For the men, Russian Alexsey Rubtsov took home the gold, who did very little to train for the competition.

In second for the men was Czech climber Martin Stranik and in third was Korean Jonwon Chon. Full results for the me here.
