World number two Mori Ai wins the women’s bouldering and lead combined titles after the final was canceled due to weather problems

Number two in the world Die Ai won the women’s championship Sport climbing Boulder & lead combined gold on 19th Asian Games Hangzhou on Saturday (October 7) after the final was canceled due to weather.

It had rained for most of the day in the Hangzhou and Shaoxing region of the People’s Republic of China, the location of the Keqiao Yangshan sports climbing center. Things got particularly intense about two hours before the final began.

Since the climbing surface was still wet and not dry, the jury decided to cancel the final for safety reasons.

This meant that the results from the early afternoon semi-final, which was played in light drizzle, were carried over and one of the four boulders was cancelled.

Newcomers from Japan and Mori from the Republic of Korea Seo Chae-hyun They actually tied in the semifinals, both achieving three tops in the bouldering round by making two extra attempts and locking into the top hold in the lead, for a total of 199.73 points.

Remarkably, this meant that under the rules of sport climbing the tie would be broken on further countback to qualification, where Mori’s better bouldering performance – four tops in five attempts – made the difference, while Seo had only achieved three tops and one bottom zone.

Host China took bronze Zhang Yuetong.
