Austria takes the overall national team honours, but the mens gold was won by Adam Ondra(CZE), with Johanna Ernst(AUT) taking the female gold.

Both the male and female finals were flashed by two climbers. The male competition started the evenings proceedings in front of over 500 spectators in the climbing hall at Imst, Austria.

An early high point by Sean McColl (CAN) and Sachi Amma (JPN) left little doubt that the route would be flashed later in the competition. And reigning World Champion Patxi Usobiaga Lakunza (ESP) did not dissapoint, completing the route with ease, The pressure then moved to the remaining athletes, and while Austrian Jakob Schubert did not perform to his earlier rounds efforts, favourite Adam Ondra (CZE) performed for the vocal crowd with an outstanding top-out, never looking troubled.

If the crowd was vocal for the male competition the noise reached a peak when Angela Eiter (AUT) completed the route mid way through the round. With the climbers dropping before the roof section, it was left to favourites Maja Vidmar (SLO) and Johanna Ernst (AUT) to flash the route and win on countback. Vidmar never looked comfortable and fell to place her in fifth position. The World Champion Ernst (16), was outstandingly carm and relaxed, making short work of the route.

The evenings results leave Adam Ondra with a commanding lead in the mens series. The womens series is close with Johanna Ernst (AUT) having just a five point lead over Angela Eiter.
