World title and MBE for GB's Shauna Coxsey

Second place in Vail wrapped up a dream weekend for GB's star boulderer

Shauna Coxsey, GB's top competition climber, has won the 2016 Bouldering World Cup title after her performance at the penultimate round of the series this weekend in Vail. Her second place finish just behind USA's Megan Mascarenas in the final gave her enough points to secure the overall title after her blistering performance in the first few rounds of the competition earlier this year, including four gold medals.

The result topped off a dream weekend for Shauna, who was also awarded an MBE on Friday evening in the Queen's birthday honours list. It's a fitting climax to a fantastic season for her, and we hope she's off celebrating in style.

GB's number two female competitor, Leah Crane, had a tough round and just missed out on a semi-finals appearance by just one bonus attempt in qualifiers! Team mate Michaela Tracy made it through to the semis with Shauna however, and finished in a very respectable 14th place. In the men's, Tyler Landman and Dave Barrans both got through to the semis for GB, finishing in 10th and 19th place respectively, with Japan's Kokoro Fujii eventually taking the gold medal overall and a narrow lead in the overall World Cup rankings going into the final round in Munich.
