Oscar Baudrand Finishes 5th in Bouldering Youth Worlds

The bouldering Semifinals for the Youth B Male category were extremely difficult. Fourteen climbers finished the round with zero tops and no climber topped more than two. So, as it turned out, the one problem that Canadian Oscar Baudrand sent was crucial and got him into Finals. The 14-year-old looked a bit nervous in the final round but still put in a great effort, including a top of boulder three, which put him in 5th place, ahead of Adam Adamovsky, in the final standings.

Nichol Tomas from Thailand looked super strong, along with Junta Sekiguchi (JPN) and Edvards Gruvitis (LAT), who all climbed three boulders. Tomas took the gold because of an extra zone with Sekiguchi and Gruvitis separated by attempts.
