China got off to a perfect start but clinching the first two gold medals in the 10m speed event. The Chinese women swept the top 3 positions in the women's final while the men's final had a rather dramatic ending. The Russians handed a suprised Alexandr Nigmatulin the silver medal when both of Ivan Novikov and Sergey Abdrakhmanov fell at exactly the same spot.
The Russian team had the agony shortened when they won the men and women bouldering discipline.
Experience triumph over talent on the last day of the Championship when Patxi Usobiaga beat Adam Ondra in the lead finals. With Patxi climbing first and toping the finals, the pressure seems to take out Adam who fell off just before the last move.
It's a Championship with lots of unforgettable moments. I hope the next World Championship in Arco will be just as exciting.
