yeah she's the prime Mike tyson of climbing lol no rival

@@James-ku5rh i mean janja is at the point where theres no comparison left really. tyson always had a chip on his shoulder and youd know it. janja is just the best. by margin.

@@James-ku5rhmore kind of a Michael Jordan for individual sports.

Janja should also join the mens

@@DeePunter There is high risk she would beat them all quite often 😆

McNeice did really well. Getting into finals for both lead and boulder is not a small feat.

Can't forget about Ai Mori

Not quite. Ai Mori regularly puts Janja to the test.

@@WesHuesosyep don’t think ai mori has lost to Janja on lead yet lately

​@@bryanthan9363 She has, in koper and Innsbruck

Janja beat everyone on 2019 on the semi finals without a chalk bag and was the only one to top the route as well

I suppose it all depends on what she enjoys more. You can't be this good without enjoying competitions, but who knows she might like the outdoor stuff better.

I really don't think she will stop climbing competition that soon ! she's really enjoying it

climb 9c then

It just seems to me that great athletes like Janja are always in need of a challenge or a goal to pursue. If she wins gold at the Olympics this summer, then what is left? Like I said, there's trying to clean-sweep the lead season and going after a 3rd Olympics...but these are the sorts of goals that in the past have taken the fun out of climbing for her. That's why I brought up the idea of her moving onto something else.

I sure hope not! I'd love to see her crush outside too, but not yet

It was Mattea Pötzi, from Austria.

Scusa, Camilla e a casa, qui c´era Laura Rogora 😉

I think she can, repeatedly

Just regular tube-style device.

Innsbruck 2022

Yes. The IFSC Channel. @sportclimbing

@@ClimbingRocksAU And Eurosport

non c´e paragone.....

Ai Mori is a great athlete. In my opinion, her biggest weakness is her height (153 cm), she could easily threaten Janja if she were 10 cm taller. The problem is especially visible on boulders, where it is very clear that a few extra centimeters make a big difference.

@@olabe3819 Her small and slight physique is also her biggest strength on the wall, she's as light as a feather. If she were 10cm taller, she'd have a longer arm span but she'd also be heavier

She decided not to compete here. Probably working through her University course. She likes to keep a balance. It’s not all about climbing for her (unlike some of the competitors whose lives just revolve around climbing). She’s said in an interview that she’ll be at Innsbruck and also at Seoul this year (WC) and of course the Olympics. Looking forward to see what she brings to the stage in Innsbruck. I think Innsbruck will be where most (if not all) of the major competitors will be making a showing. It’s about a month or two before Paris so I imagine all the qualifiers will be there as a “practice run”.

@@olabe3819 If she was 10cm taller, her entire climbing style of being super light and efficient would not work anymore. She would probably climb completely differently, and I think it would be worse.

Ai Mori is the biggest challenger for Janja on lead, she has steel endurance and particular style and makes the competitions more interesting. However her weakness are dynamic moves, not her height, and that is what creates an impression that she is missing arm spam on some routes. Japanese and Korean girls with similar height did much better on many occassions when dynamic was needed. She talks about her motivation for Paris in interview with Akiyo Noguchi on Tamy channel.

Yea, I thought the trend of being dangerously thin was going down. A lot of athletes have been raising awareness about this too.

i gasped when i saw her, i hope she's okay, she kinda looks like she could faint at any moment

Yeah, but to enjoy the competition and pay some respect to other girls you can watch the whole thing. Even if they do not win they put on some show and interesting moves... It´s still World Cup

In the end if you wanna beat janja you have to top the route and do it fast! 😅

@@eduardonegrao8364 Or get lucky and do a bit better in semifinals, like Ai Mori once ... 😀

yeah, but it has been improving

Matt Groom doing a great job!!!!!!

I really liked Mattea Pötzi, what was your problem with the commentary?

@@somebody5086 he/she probably doesn´t know himself/herself....

I highly disagree, Matt is solid successor of Charlie Boscoe. And still way ahead of commentary on Eurosport..

@@petefly3103 absolutely agree😌
