The thing with Janja is that she has no real weakness. Even on slabs (THE GREAT EQUALIZER ;) ) she is at least as good as everyone else. Shes more dynamic, stronger and more consistent than everybody else. Even this year where I think her focus was more on the olympics than on individual WCs Natalia Grosman basically had to flash 4 boulders to win SLC. At this point its like this: Janja with avarage day = win; Everyone else with best performance of their career = slight chance of winning First thing I thought when Janja went 5th at speed at the olympics: Hmm guess she finnishes with 5 points. Also: Raise you hand if you have seen a boulder in the last 3-4 years where you think: Hmm I wonder if Janja can do it before she gets on.

Shauna was a great inspiration when I started watching competition and it saddend me to slowly see her fade away. It was always a joy to see hee climb

Both are amazing. Shauna is super calm and methodical and Janja is a beast. Love them both

Shauna trained at the same wall as me when she was very young. There were non of the modern style problems then and I think that is a slight disadvantage. She is an amazing climber though and I hope she can be fit for the Olympics.

The Olympics when they took place in Tokyo 2021 unfortunately came about 5 years to late for Shauna... She was and still is a great climber but the amount of injuries and surgeries she has had in the last 4 years meant she had little chance of her getting a medal... However she did really well in the bouldering if there was a medal for each discipline she might of got a bronze... She did well to qualify over Molly Thompson Smith

It's hard to compare them because the year Shauna dominated bouldering Janja was not really competing in the boulders and then Shauna got injured and hasn't competed much after recovering, doing just enough to qualify for the olympics. If I had to put money, it's Janja for the olympics for sure. Janja is not only a monster in bouldering but a monster in lead climbing and so the combined format favors her heavily.

Janja feels more athletic whereas Shauna seems like her moves are precisely calibrated.

These two are amazing climbers and even though they aren't perfectly comparable, they do compete against each other and will be at the Olympics. Do you think one of them is going to take the podium? and if so, which one?

Very beautiful video. I liked that very much. Many greetings ronactive

I'll have to disagree on the mental strength part though -- Janja delivered clutch performances time and time again under tremendous pressure and expectations. This is not to take any credit away from Shauna(I'm less familiar with her in general), but I'd say mental strength is a great asset of Janja instead of potential weakness.

My two favourite climbers!

I would not necessarily put them next to each other since Shauna is mostly a boulderer while Janja is an all-rounder. Also, not taking Kim Jain (the ballerina on the wall) into account. Kim was also an all-rounder like Janja (i.e. lead and boulder) before her knee injury after which she decided to stick to lead mostly. Her monstrous endurance and elegance is second to none. Also, apologies for splitting hairs, but not "best climbers", instead "best sport climbers" :)

I feel like people are under the misconception that because because Shauna is slow that must mean she's more 'calculated'. That's just not a deductive argument. There's even evidence to the contrary in that they do the same moves. At least in the footage show, Garnbret is just better in every way.

Hey, great video! I find it really interesting how, despite all of her comp experience, Coxsey looks pretty confused compared to Janja on some of the boulders - could that maybe be due to the takeover of the 'new' style of bouldering? Either way, I loved the side-by-side!

What are the tunes playing? Sick climbs

Janja crushed everybody at the olympics

SLOVENIJA 🇸🇮👍👏

omg hey Adora

Shauna is amazing but she has been prone to injury. Janja is amazing and has incredible flow and is also on top of her game this year. For more info watch the back catalog of IFSC events featuring these two. Money on Janja for Olympic gold.

Janja is better than Shauna.

Problem #2 was just silly. Set properly setters!

Shauna is one of the best looking climbers out there. Makes her more fun to watch
