At Villars last Saturday during the first stage of the Lead World Cup 2019 Janja Garnbret performed another of her magic tricks, climbing the Semifinal route without ever chalking up. Inexplicably her chalk bag fell right at the start and after a moment of bewilderment the twenty-year-old Slovenian climbed right to the finishing hold. Her ascent - the only top in that round - is documented here and compared to that of Chaehyun Seo, the 15-year-old South Korean produced a devastating senior World Cup debut and finished second.
