Which were your best moments in 2021?
My best moments were: The Chamonix world cup where I got first place. In finals, I climbed really well, fast and precise and I topped the final route! The other was the ascent of Erebor 9b. On the first day, I tried it I couldn't do more than a few moves without falling. I couldn't imagine doing the route so fast.

How was your Olympic experience?
The competition was bad for me. I didn't expect to have so much pressure. Anyway, the experience was cool.
For the first time climbing was among many other sports so we can meet and interact with other athletes. The days before the competition I had no pressure but during the competition, I started feeling it. I climbed bad in bouldering, making a lot of useless attempts.
