It was a good day for Dmitry Sharafutdinov, sending all problems in just 5 attempts and going on to win the title of World Boulder Champion for the second time (the first was Aviles in 2007).  Adam Ondra from the Czech Republic took home silver, separated from Sharafutdinov by just 3 extra attempts. The second Russian in the final,  Rustam Gelmanov, sent all the acrobatic rebus but in 12 attempts which secured him bronze. Kilian Fischhuber finished 4th, Cédric Lachat 5th and Thomas Tauporn 6th.
