Women’s Combined Finals Result
For the women’s event, Ai Mori put on a show. By far the smallest climber in the women’s final Ai Mori proved that a lack in height is not an issue. She finished the boulder event on near level score with the raining overall boulder champion of 2022 Natalia Grossman. And being the only woman in 2022 to beat Janja Garnbret in lead she proved that she will be the one to look out for in the lead round. Ai Mori demolished the field in lead nearly topping the route and winning the combined by a huge margin.
