IFSC Brixen 2023 Boulder World Cup
The second round of the European IFSC World Cup goes to the beautiful Italian mountain town of Brixen. Just a week after Prague Boulder World Cup, a few top climbers opt to take a break and skip Brixen. However, even without some of the top names the Brixen world cup finals were a nail-biter going right down to the wire.

Stasa Gejo gave a gutsy performance in the finals and came in third for a bronze medal.
