Jan Hojer in even better shape 2014

Jan hojer who is #3 in the 8a ranking game took a great victory in the first Boulder WC of 2014. Last year he was #8 after having won one event. (c) Eddie Fowke How come you tried the first boulder 24 times instead of saving energy? I kept trying the first dyno over and over again because I desperately wanted to have an advantage going into the other boulders especially the last one! Trying a boulder 14 times in 4 minutes might be a little uncommon, but if you compete against Dmitrii who is so much stronger, it requires weird tactics and (even more important) a lot of luck! Have you done any specific training to be better prepared 2014? This year I wanted to take the preparation for the WC's a bit more seriously, because I wasn't in good shape last year when the season started. I stretched more, ate healthier and climbed in more different gyms before we flew to China
