Juliane Wurm (24) retires from the comp scene

Juliane Wurm, defending the title of European and World Champion in bouldering, announces on Facebook that she is going to retire from the competition scene, being only 24 years old. - A great time of many years of competing in international and national climbing comps lies behind me and I decided that I'm at a point where I want to stop competing those big events. I feel like I've reached everything I've ever dreamed of in competition climbing. I passed unforgettable moments, made friendships and made valuable experiences on travels to all different continents. I personally feel that my motivation ebbed for a while. Competing in Worldcups demands quite a lot of dedication, lots of training, travels, hotels, isolation time, being focussed, and comps every summer. I´m keen on having time for all differents things that lacked time during recent years. I´m psyched to spend more time on rocks and maybe doing some fun and less serious comps. Also having more time with my family & friends is something I'm looking forward to. And studying of course. I want to THANK all the people who supported me, motivated me, inspired me, listened to me,... on my way to becoming the comp climber I used to be!!
