The the hard-set semis round, Shana Coxsey couldn’t find the flow and only secured one top and one zone. Nine women didn’t manage to get a zone, making it one of the most difficult Adidas Rockstars yet. For the men, one top was good enough to make finals.
Garnbret and Ito went head to head in the finals. Ito fell and Garnbret stayed on the wall, but Ito quickly caught up and passed a Garnbret who couldn’t work out the moves. Ogata and Florian Klingler competed in the super finals but couldn’t finish the problem in the four minutes allowed. After that time, Ogata topped and said, “This comp is the most enjoyable comp in the world.”
