Adam Ondra flashes Grizzly (8B)
Adam Ondra is back on "non-plastic holds" directly after the Olympics. In Sloup he made the FA of Peppa (8B+). โTook forever to actually figure out the line and never really trying it, but once the mystery was unlocked, it was disappointingly easier than expected. Maybe harder, maybe not.โ
Then he travelled to Val Daone where he on the same day, flashed Grizzly (8B) and sent Blue Arrow (8A) as well as Flow (8B+).
On Instagram, he comments on the Olympics, where he was #6 overall after having won in Lead and placed seventh in Boulder.
"I poured my heart into the preparation, I donโt think I have ever been so focused in my life like in the last months before this event โ I donโt think I have ever been better prepared than this time... For now, letโs have some rest and touch some non-plastic holds for a while ๐" (c) Petr Chodura

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders.
