IFSC CLIMBING WORLD CUP MOKPO 2013 :
RUNNING OUT THE
CLOCK IN MOKPO
A thrilling competition weekend in Korea as we move into the final phase of this year‘s IFSC Climbing World Cup! With Mina Markovic and Sachi Amma in Lead, and Iuliia Kaplina and Qixin Zhong in Speed, four contenders for the 2013 overall ranking celebrated their victories in Mokpo.
Two competitions left before the end of this year’s Climbing World Cup series, and the world’s best Lead and Speed athletes are fighting for decision-making points in Eastern Asia – a fight that continues up until the very last second!
Just like at the IFSC World Cup event in Perm last week, time was not only a decisive factor in the Mokpo Speed competition, it also played a big role in the Lead competition, as well. With World Cup leader Jain Kim and her closest competitor Mina Markovic topping out in all four female rounds the attemped time in the finals decided once more about gold and silver in the Lead comp – this time Slovenia’s Mina Markovic was ahead by a nose, Kim strengthened her first place in the overall ranking Monday, 14th with silver in Mokpo; bronze went to Japan’s Momoka Oda. A similar picture was painted in the men’s October competition; Sachi Amma and hometown boy Hyunbin Min were leading in a tie after the final round, a 2013 faster stage time for Japan’s strongest Lead athlete ment gold for Sachi Amma and silver for previous year’s winner in Mokpo, Hyunbin Min. Golden China and Russia
In the Speed competition there was a new face on the top of the winner’s podium 2013; after attaining three podium finishes in this Speed season, reigning Speed world champion Qixin Zhong conquered his first golden medal in Mokpo, followed by current World Cup leaders Libor Hroza and Stansialv Kokorin. The women’s competition was once again firmly in Russian hands. Baku winner Iuliia Kaplina was the fastest woman in Korea ahead of current Overall leader Alina Gaidamakina and her copatriot Yuliya Levochkina.
