DEFENDING CHAMPION LEE WINS MEN’S QUALIFICATION. SOME FAVORITES SURPRISINGLY OUT

This year’s Czech stop of the Climbing World Cup kicked off at Letná with the men’s qualification round. The best performance came from South Korean climber Dohyun Lee. Also advancing to the semifinal are Japanese favorite Sorato Anraku, Olympic champion Toby Roberts, and local star Adam Ondra.

While yesterday’s rain steadily soaked Letná, the weather cleared for Friday’s program and thousands of spectators witnessed a thrilling qualification round. Two-time Prague winner Dohyun Lee once again showed that the Czech capital suits him well – he topped four problems and advanced to Saturday’s semifinal in first place.

Home favorite Adam Ondra kept fans on edge until the very end. He only secured zones on the first three boulders, but managed to top the final two and earned a place in the next round. Even in what is set to be his final World Cup appearance in this discipline, he’ll be fighting for a spot in the final.

None of the other Czech climbers made it through, and surprisingly, some of the event's top contenders also fell short. American Colin Duffy didn’t advance, and neither did two-time world champion Tomoa Narasaki. The Japanese climber completed only one of the five problems and finished far outside the qualifying ranks.

The men’s semifinal is scheduled for Saturday at 12:00.
