Olympics-Climbing-Japan's Nonaka regroups after bruising bouldering qualifier
TOKYO: Japanese medal contender Miho Nonaka is regrouping before the women's final after a tough bouldering round during climbing qualifiers on Wednesday in the sport's Olympic debut.
However the Tokyo native struggled in her strongest event, bouldering, amid humid conditions on a sticky summer evening. In bouldering, athletes attack a series of obstacles along a low wall. Nonaka solved just one of four problems and came eighth. Following the bouldering setback, Nonaka put in a top-three performance in lead, a roped climb up a vertiginous wall, to secure her place in Friday's final.
