The 2021 World Championships gold medallist triumphed after a heated battle with Germany’s Hannah Meul.

With four tops and four zones, Grossman secured her sixth IFSC World Cup gold medal - four of which were won during the 2022 season.

"I’m really grateful and excited for more," Grossman said after her victory.

"I feel like at least during the qualification and semi-final rounds, I had the most fun I’ve had in a really long time.

"It felt really good to compete without pressure again, because in Salt Lake I had a lot of pressure.

"Hannah definitely kept me on my toes the whole final round so that was kind of fun dealing with the pressure, but I’m glad I was able to keep it together.

"I’ve been focusing mainly on boulders this year, but I’m very excited to get the opportunity to compete in Lead because I love Lead climbing.

"We’ll see how it goes."

Germany’s Meul finished second after matching four tops and four zones.

However, she took one more attempt compared to the American, to win her first-ever IFSC World Cup medal.

China’s Luo Zhilu completed the podium.

With two tops and four zones, the 16-year-old Zhilu bagged bronze on her World Cup debut.

Tokyo 2020 silver medallist Nonaka Miho of Japan missed out on a medal after a performance that saw her achieve one top and four zones.

Her compatriots Matsufuji Anon and Okawachi Serika finished fifth and sixth respectively.

The World Cup is set to continue tomorrow with the men’s final.
