Janja Garnbret wins her 47th WC gold
Janja Garnbret, the two-time Olympic gold medalist who had not competed for nine months, won her 47th World Cup gold in Innsbruck. Interestingly, the Slovenian was fifth in the qualification and then fourth in the semifinal before winning the final in superior style.
โIt feels amazing. I didnโt know how I would feel coming back, but this amazing Innsbruck crowd welcomed me back. I really enjoyed myself on the wall, had a bit of a shaky start in qualification, then it felt 100% better in semi-final, and now I felt like my old self in final. I really enjoyed being back.
You never forget how to compete, but being back after nine months, in the middle of the season, was not the easiest thing. I had a lot of doubts: โAm I ready? Am I not? Am I even motivated?โ But Iโm so glad I came back, I enjoyed it so much.
Iโve been training and Iโve been rock climbing a lot, it was something for my heart, for my soul. I spent a lot of time outside, I trained in the gym as well, but mostly I was taking time off and enjoying other things besides competition and training.โ

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
