He did it! We knew it on a rising slope, we knew it capable of everything, Max Bertone will not have disappointed us in the final of this world cup stage in Bali. At the end of a run of madness in the final, he managed to take the silver medal, and passes anything next to gold! In women,

Back on breathless finals.

A perfect run for a first podium by Max Bertone

Last qualified in the final in the 8 possible places, Max Bertone was the first to set off in this ultimate round. As usual, Max Bertone climbs quickly and clean. He advances, and even allows himself in the middle of a way to heat the public as he likes to do.

The movements are linked, and here it is to attack the last part of the track. The movements are extreme, but Max Bertone tears away, several cries sound, the Reunionese continues to move forward to finally fall on the 41 socket, close to the final top. At that time, everything seems possible, because we quickly understand that the run that Max Bertone has just been released is not trivial. The climbers are linked behind him, and, until the last 3 climbers, none equals his performance. Alberto Ginés López, the Spanish specialist in the Diff, falls below, Yannick Flohé, 2nd of the semi-final, gets much lower.

It remains only the Japanese Sitone Yoshida to pass: 4th on the last step, it seems to have at heart to seek a podium this time. The tension rises as it ascends. Everyone has the look riveted on the least of their mistakes. The Japanese swallows movements with disconcerting ease, but begins to fight as Max Bertone’s brand approaches. He will finally be able to validate a takeover more than the Reunionese (42), thus winning his first gold medal in the World Cup. Max Bertone will be satisfied with money, but for a first medal in the World Cup, we can say it loud and clear, well done! Alberto Ginés López will complete the podium with a beautiful bronze medal, his second after Wujiang last week.

Men’s results

Second consecutive victory for Erin McNice

While we barely recover from our emotions, the female final begins. A fairly long path, all in resistance and rather varied in the movements. No random movements, except perhaps on the penultimate movement with a small coordinating before reaching the top.

The climbers climb one after the other, and the classification is quite logically. While there are only 3 climbers left to start, Laura Rogora is currently in the lead. Here came the Japanese tour who came to Challenger Janja Garnbret in previous years, Ai Mori. She continues the movements with precision, but lacks a little rhythm. In the last movements, she finds herself blocked on a shoulder movement, which, from the top of her 1m54, is complicated. She finally succeeded in solving the problem after several attempts, then reached the top of the way, but out of a few seconds.

Behind, it’s the turn of Korean Chaehyun SEO to take control of the wall. Its climbing, feline and very precise, reminds us of the great years of Kim Jain. The movements are linked with ease, almost logically for Chaehyun. She lost a few seconds on the last movement, re -mobilizes and ends up Toper a few seconds before the end of the time, thus placing herself first of the provisional in front of the Japanese.

The British Erin Mcneice remains to start. First ex-aequo last week with Korean during the Wujiang stage, this time she intends to climb the highest step of the podium. For this, a top will be imperative. Like Korean, Erin McNeice is advancing well, but time goes. Before the last small final coordinant, he only has a few seconds left. She takes a look at the time, accelerates, and in turn the way, thus winning a second consecutive gold medal!
