The reigning Olympic gold medalist, Slovenia’s Janja Garnbret, did not disappoint viewers as she dominated the women’s combined semifinal by taking the number one spot with 99.6 points as we move into the lead portion of the combined event.

Garnbret was the only female athlete to top all four boulder problems. She showcased why she is considered by most to be the greatest climber of all time as she flashed, or reached the top on the first try, the first two boulder problems with ease.

The home crowd cheered with immense excitement for France’s Oriane Bertone who took second place with 84.5 points. Bertone scaled three out of the four boulders to place second overall. She was greatly overwhelmed with excitement as she was able to secure the second place in the final seconds as she topped the final boulder.

Following close behind her competitors in third place with 83.7 points was America’s Brooke Raboutou. Brooke was also able to complete three out of the four bouldering problems, but fell short of coming ahead of Bertone due to number of attempts she took which deducts 0.1 points from the athletes score.

Following the top three spots, Australia’s Oceania Mackenzie (79.6points), America’s Natalia Grossman (69.2 points), and Austria’s Jessica Pilz (68.8 points). For more details about athletes results at the women’s combined semifinal event, check out the event page.
