IFSC interviews with Ondra, McColl, Durif and more

IFSC is ready for the Paris World Championship that starts on Wednesday. Interviews with McColl, Durif and more have been published on the FB page. Here we present Ondra's answers, who became the World Champion in both Lead and Boulder in 2014. Picture showing the winning moment. 1. What are you most looking forward to about the upcoming IFSC World Championships? I am most looking forward to the atmosphere in Paris. Comps should be done for the audience, and it's always the best feeling to climb in front of many spectators and know they are psyched. 2. How have you prepared for this event? Are you ready?! I have been climbing mostly outdoors this year, but in the last three weeks I made my training more plastic-oriented, so hopefully I will be ready in Paris to give a good fight! 3. Which Athletes do you think will be your biggest competition? Tomoa Narasaki in Bouldering; Domen Skofic, Romain Desgranges, Gautier Supper, Ramon Julian Puigblanque and Jakob Schubert in Lead. 4. What would be a successful week for you? Giving it all I have without making mistakes. 5. Why should people attend the IFSC World Championships in Paris? It is the best possible show of our sport! Best Athletes, best walls and routes, in the best location possible.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s 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 isโ€ฆ
