Last weekend in Sheffield the Austrian Kilian Fischhuber assured the World Cup 2011 with his 5th victory, which brought him to 560 points in the 2011 ranking - with his direct rival Sharafutdinov following at 430, and one competition left to close the Boulder World Cup 2011.
Second on the podium Cedric Lachat (SUI), third the Russian Alexey Rubtsov, with respectively 5 and 13 attempts to complete 2 problems.
Gold in the women's field was awarded to Akiyo Noguchi (JPN), at her 4th victory of the year; nevertheless, Anna Stöhr (6th in Sheffield) remains at the top of the 2011 ranking. Silver goes to the French Melissa Le Neve, and bronze to Alex Puccio (USA).
The Boulder World Cup will be back with the final competition in Munich in August; but all the best climbers will gather in two weeks in Arco for the IFSC World Championship...

The penultimate round of the IFSC Boulder World Cup hit Sheffield on the 2nd and 3rd July 2011. The competition took place as part of the Cliffhanger festival and the women's finals were held on the Sunday.
