Jakob Schubert wins Lead in Innsbruck
Jakob Schubert, who started last as he won the semifinal, pleased his home crowd in Innsbruck by climbing three holds higher than Alex Megos in the final. The 33-year-old got his fourth World Championship gold last year and he has also previously won 20 Lead World Cups. Complete results.
โClimbing here at home is always different, itโs always special, and this route today was exceptionally special because it was such a crazy fight from halfway up. Every move I felt like I was going to fall. I might have not been the best climber on the route tonight, but I was the best fighter, and thatโs what brought me to victory. And it was also only possible because of the crowd.
Iโm always really focused and donโt hear too much while I climb, I would say. I wouldnโt recognise which song was playing, but it was crazy loud when I made that move and I immediately knew that that was probably the victory. From there I felt like I could almost enjoy itโฆ I mean, not really, because I was way too pumped.โ
