After Meiringen, the Bouldering World Cup will stop in Kazo, Japan, this weekend for the second event of the 2016 season.
A New Day With the close of a spectacular first round in Meiringen, Switzerland, the world’s best boulderers now set their sights on Japan’s main island of Honshu where they will face-off at the second Bouldering World Cup of seven to be held this season. This year, the Kazo Civic Gymnasium will bring in a new set of Bouldering athletes hungry for success.
Who To Watch
Last weekend, Shauna Coxsey of Great Britain started the season like she finished the last by topping the most problems for Gold. Melissa Le Neve of France also made the podium, of which seasoned competitor Akiyo Noguchi fell just shy. The four-time Overall Bouldering World Cup champion will vie for another medal in Kazo, along with Japan teammate Miho Nonaka who finished 14th in Meiringen.
