Ondra and Garnbret comment on their victories
Stasa Gejo, the Discovery+ commentator, made great interviews with the winners Adam Ondra and Janja Garnbret. (c) Petr Chodura
Ondra: โI definitely needed a break after the Olympics, but now I feel itโs the time โ I got hungry for competitions. I think I picked up the best Lead World Cup on the circuit which is Chamonix and it was a great decision โ I enjoyed climbing here. I love climbing when itโs actually dark, thatโs when the time is still here in Chamonix and when all the crowd behind your back is unbelievable.
I think the more complex the route, the better for me. I especially liked the pinchy section at the top of the overhang. Then I was kind of disappointed that it was just a pure crimp fest, but I was pretty happy that I could actually recover a little bit before the last crimps. The last dyno I was pretty sure from observation that I could just reach, but it was not possible.
Garnbret: โI felt flowy. Usually I feel more nervous when I know a lot of girls before me already topped, but this time I was super calm and relaxed. I just climbed with a little bit of caution because I knew that I needed to top the route, but it was easy! Right now Iโm really excited to go back home to fall back into a routine a little bit, and then Iโm excited for Brianรงon.โ

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.
Outdoor bouldering isโฆ
