Last World Cup of the season

Posted on by

World Cup Kranj 16-17 November

Saturday: qualifications and semifinals on the same day! I was able to top both routes but I had given all I had. I felt really tired.

The semifinal route (late in the evening) was hard but I managed to climb just high enough to secure a place in the finals. Loïc Timmermans finished on a promising 19th place, Mathilde Brumagne ended 25th.

Sunday: a bit surprising: Jain not on the podium. I guess both Jain and Mina were very nervous. Happy for Momoka, though, who won her first gold this season.

Jain and Sachi win the cup!

I’m happy with a 7th place and a 4th World Cup final!

My parents and I travelled to France 2 days before the competition. We had a nice relaxing day at the rocks where my parents climbed and I studied and enjoyed the sunny weather.

The qualifications went very well. I did not feel totally warmed up in the 1st route, but I was happy that I fell quite high up. The 2nd route was very hard at the end. Although I felt really pumped, I was able to top out!

In the semifinals I really had to fight, but I was happy that I had been able to give everything. Then the speaker said that I would be in the finals!

I was so happy to be in the finals and to read the route together with the strongest female climbers! The beginning of the route was terrible, but it was amazing to climb with so many people cheering me on. The moves were really hard and I fell totally exhausted, but very happy. I loved watching the other climbers like Jain Kim who climbed the route so beautifully! 🙂

It was an unbelievable competition and I am very thankfull for this experience!

Mathilde became 17th and Loïc 19th.
