Multi-discipline success for Jan Hojer

Jan hojer won the World Cup in 2014 and was #2 in 2015 when he also was the European Champion. Since then he has just made finals once in 12 WC's, before winning in Munich. It is interesting that after his last three Boulder WC's in June, averaging as #23, he has not done any structured bouldering training, instead he has mainly been competing in Speed and Lead where his best results were #4 and #11. Talking to Jan explaining his recent success and training he says, it is all about motivation and having fun while training and competing. (c) Marco Kost - Training and competing is about giving 100 %. The past weeks living in Innsbruck inbetween comps, I have been psyched for every session I did because of the great training partners and facility! The last two months my lead motivation kept me away from bouldering or serious training and for me there is no reason to do a hang board session if I don't feel like it. Bouldering is such a mental game that changing focus and having other goals in mind helped me across all disciplines. I even tried the speed route a bit and it has been great fun. Of course the Olympics are a goal of mine but we'll see how the next seasons go. Summary video from Munich
