The Lead World Cup finals at Wujiang were cancelled because of bad weather. The women's final was being carried out when it started to rain and made the last few climbers slip off of wet holds. After many considerations and an appeal from the athlete's side, the finals for women and men (which had not been carried out) were cancelled. The winners of the event were then determined based on the results of the semifinals.^[14][15][16]

34 athletes attended the World Cup in Wujiang.^[17] The finals were cancelled, and the results of the previous round (semi-finals) counted as the final ranking.^[18]
