The only Czech representative young girl Silva Rajfova finished on 23rd place in the World Cup competition in bouldeirng in Vail, USA this weekend. European climbers considered the competition different from the old continent style. Larger holds, longer moves and jumps.
The advantage is to be taller, to be dynamic, and to have strong entire body. "Good change", says the the Czech coach assistant Helena Lipenska, "its pity they do not organize more comps in US".
German Jonas Baumann won the first time in his career. Alex Puccio won for the first time woman category.
