Comments from Anraku, Roberts and Schubert
IFSC has published comments from the three medallists: ยฉ Drapella/Virt/IFSC
#1 Roberts: I've got no words. I'm just riding on adrenaline right now, but I feel incredible. At that point [Anraku climbing] I already knew I had won the silver medal, so I was really happy anyway just watching him. Then to realise that I had just become Olympic champion, I was just: wow, no words."
#2 Anraku: "I'm sad, and I regret that I could not make the best of Boulder & Lead. At the third and fourth Boulder I could not reach the top. In the Lead my feet weren't stable enough, which started in the middle of the route. But I'm still proud of myself."
#3 Schubert: "I am extremely proud that climbing is at the Olympic Games for the second time and that I have my second medal. That's something very special. And at the same time, I have the feeling that the Boulder round frustrated me extremely and there was a lot more possible for me today.
The big goal was gold or silver, and I'm a little bit hesitant about that, but I just can't complain because I know how difficult it is to win an Olympic medal."

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.
