The Championnat de France de Bloc 2020 – AKA the French Bouldering Championships – just took place on the 23rd of Feb. France continues to produce some of the hardest boulderers in the world and the comp was brilliantly set with some incredible tops. Mickael Mawem of the Mawem brothers (who have both qualified for the Tokyo Olympics) was in attendance along with the rest of France’s top boulderers.
The comp was held at the amazing bouldering gym Edenwall in Charnay-lès-Mâcon and officiated by the Fédération Française de la Montagne et de l’Escalade (FFME).
Fanny Gibert was favorite for the Female category, having won the comp four times in a row. The comp started off with qualifiers that brought a total each side down to 20 each for the semi-finals. In the semis again the number was brought down to six. You can watch the rerun of the live Finals video below for the full event. Full results and links to scoring are below the video.
