Out of the 55 athletes participating, only two have concluded with the perfect score of five tops and five zones – United States of America’s Natalia Grossman and Serbia’s Stasa Gejo, with Grossman taking first position thanks to a lower number of attempts.

Three more US climbers advanced to the semi-final round: Kylie Cullen, Cloe Coscoy, and Brooke Raboutou.

Both Austria and Japan moved three athletes to the semi-final Franziska Sterrer, Jessica Pilz, and Johanna Färber for the Austrian team; Nonaka Miho, Ito Futaba, and Mia Aoyagi for the Japanese one.
