McNeice and Avezou Dominate Women’s Boulder Semifinal

Erin McNeice confirmed her status as one of the favorites of the women’s boulder competition on Štvanice by overtaking France’s Zélia Avezou at the very end of the semifinal round. Both climbers advanced to the evening final, while two-time Prague winner Oriane Bertone will surprisingly miss out this time.

Another dramatic competition unfolded under sunny skies on Štvanice. Eleven climbers topped at least three boulders in the semifinal, but only two managed to solve all four. Erin McNeice and Zélia Avezou once again confirmed their excellent form this season.

The French climber was the first to achieve the feat, losing only 0.7 points on attempts and holding the lead for most of the semifinal. She was overtaken only in the closing moments by qualification winner Erin McNeice.

Several other favorites also advanced, but France’s Oriane Bertone will not repeat her Prague victories from 2023 and 2025. Despite topping three out of four boulders, she failed to make it through the extremely competitive semifinal round and had to settle for 11th place.

The women’s boulder final is scheduled to start at 19:30.
