Alberto's Olympic fairy tale

Alberto Gines Lopez (17) finished his Youth A season 2019 by getting four bronzes in the World and Euro Championships. The next month, competing with the seniors in Lead, he got a silver in the Euro CH and was 3 - 5 - 2 in the World Cup. This made him #2 overall at the same time he qualified for the Olympic qualifying event where he got his ticket to Tokyo. The fairy tale finished with Adam Ondra asking him to come and train with him as a preparation for the Olympics. It should be mentioned that Alberto was #7 in his Lead World Cup debut in 2018 in Arco. As he three weeks later, was #5 in the Youth Lead WCH among the 16-year-olds, a side story can be that the juniors are picking up and that more fairy tales are coming up in 2020. Remember that Ao Yurikusa and Hajime Takeda did beat him in the Combined Youth World Championships and that Hidemasa Nishida and Colin Duffy did the same in Lead as well as five guys in Boulder.
