Trafic 8b trav (8A+) by Fanny Gibert
Fanatic Climbing has made an interview with the 30-year-old who has made it to the World Cup podiums seven times. Interestingly, the 6-time French Champion did the last weekend, not try to defend her title.
"I decided not to participate in the French championship to train because the previous season was very long, until October with the combined competition in Laval, so the winter period was not optimal for me in order to train in view of 2024 and the combined and also especially in lead which takes time so strategically we decided that I will not do the French championships to train instead and be ready for the first World Cups in April. The objective is to reach bouldering finals and to grab podiums as I can, to make lead finals or enter in the top 10 and qualify myself for the 2024 Olympics and that means scoring points on the 2023 World Cups."
