In the Boulder & Lead final in Budapest, Alberto Ginés López is the one to beat. With 157,2 points, he reached the final round as the best. OQS Shanghai winner Dohyun Lee is in second place. Hannes Van Duysen continued his form from the qualification in the semi-finals and came third with 144,6 points.

With Yannick Flohé in fourth place and Alex Megos in seventh place, two German climbers are represented in the final. France is also represented in the final with two athletes: Sam Avezou (4) and Mejdi Schalck (7). The last and eighth participant in the final is Adam Ondra.

For me, it feels even more amazing to qualify than it did for Tokyo. Qualification for Tokyo was very quick and then there were still two years until the Games. It's just a completely different story this time.
