Alberto Ginรฉs Lรณpez comments his gold
Alberto Ginรฉs Lรณpez started off by first winning in Speed. Interestingly, the 18-year-old had done 15 IFSC comps prior to the Olympics, compared with only 8 events for the one doing second-most. IFSC has published some quotes from the Spaniard.
โIt's a dream come true, I didn't expect it at all. I didn't expect to get into the final. A dream come true.
Our goal from the start was to get into the final, we knew it would be difficult, and then we were in the final. A few things hadn't gone to plan, and we just knew we had to do the best we can.
I was doing some calculating, with the points, and then I decided not to get into that, that it wouldn't be good for me. I just decided to do as well as I could, and I thought 'If I do well, I do well, and if I don't, I don't.'โ(c) Jon Glassberg/Louder Than 11
