WHAT THEY SAID:
Lovro Crep (SLO) – men’s Under 20
“The semi-final was insane. I just climbed the first boulder, I stuck the small dyno on the sloper and it was amazing. It was a tough round for sure. Hard boulders, weird positions, it was important to top one boulder. I didn’t expect finals so I will just try to enjoy the show, the boulders, and give it all in and see what happens.”
Iziar Martinez Almendros (ESP) – women’s Under 20
“My semi-final was quite good. Four tops in six goes, I’m really happy with my performance. I feel really strong physically, mentally isn’t as strong so I hope I can have fun and put in 100%.”
