Mia Krampl
She came in with injured left knee. The announcers and spectators alike thought she should give up and put some time into the knee, but Mia had other ideas. After missing the zone on the first boulder, she showed everyone what kind of grit and determination she had, finishing the last 3 boulders through gritted teeth and some amazing moves. 3 tops and a position on the podium. With an amazing technical climb on the 4th boulder including a figure 4 move to finish the climb.

A tough competitor, but missed the podium due to a slow start. She capped off her day on a high note. On the last boulder for almost 3 minutes, took her time, but flashed it.
