When I was younger I had always looked forward to the world cups in Puurs because it was so much fun watching the strong climbers and being there with other kids. But this time I was going to take part in the competition!

The qualifications were on Friday and I had no idea  how well it would go. In the first route I was very happy that I managed to climb high. The second route went well and I fell some moves from the top. It was very nice that I was qualified for the semifinal. Ana Tiripa (GER) who is my age was also qualified!

On Saturday I read the semifinal route with Ana. The climbing went well but at a certain point I hesitated a bit and I was too pumped to do the next move. I ended up 15th and I was really satisfied! It was so great that all the people from the club cheered me on!

The finals later that evening were amazing! Jain Kim (KOR) and Ramón Julian Puigblanque (ESP) became the winners!
