I was very happy that I could compete in an adult worldcup for the first time! On Wednesday 11 July there was a nice opening ceremony with a presentation of all the climbers in Chamonix.
On Thursday it was the qualification round and also my father’s birthday! When I was warmed up my father and I walked from the warming up zone to the climbed wall which was on a square in the centre of Chamonix. Suddenly we saw that the girl before me was already climbing! It went really fast! So we ran to the wall and I quickly put on my climbing shoes. We were just on time so that I could climb. I am so happy that the first route went really well and I could top it.
The second route was really hard and I climbed the first part which was already very difficult. I fell at a move where a lot of climbers fell.
I was just in the semi-finals! This was a nice birthday present for my father! Unfortunately my friend Julia Chanourdie from France just missed the semi-finals.
The semi-final route was super hard and it was quite difficult to know how to take the holds. I became 24th and I am very thankful because there were 55 girls and apart from Akiyo from Japan, all the top climbers were present.
