Jule Wurm - European Champion

Jule Wurm, the world champion from 2014, is the Euro Champion 2015. How did you prepare for this season? In my training I actually focused on the same things as last year. Getting physically stronger mainly, because I often tend to feel pretty weak in overhanging boulders :) Last year I was much more focused on training and comps in general, because I took one semester off from Uni and wanted that it should pay off. This year I take it a little more relaxed. Maybe this is good too :) Please take us through the competition? In Innsbruck the qualification went quite bad for me. After I finished my climbing I was almost sure that it would not be enough to make semis. Semis and finals worked out perfectly. I felt strong and confident in all the boulders and also had the bit of luck to not mess up too many tries. How was it to see also Jan win? It is still ten times cooler to win alongside Jan. Since we hang out together most of the time it is great to share good results and those moments and be happy together :)
