Janja Garnbret World Games September Athlete

The World Games Association has awarded Janja Garnbret as their athlete of September. World Games presentation video. (c) Eddie Fowke The 19 year old Slovenian has won three out of five Lead World Cup events in 2018 and in Bouldering she has won two out of three. In the remaining three events she did not win this year, she was #2. During the last 20 WCs or WCHs, since she was 17 years old, she has not missed the podium once. Interestingly is that during the years since she made her debut on the World Cup scene in 2015 being 16 years old, taking the two silvers in Chamonix and Imst, she has skipped many WCs. Also this year, she did only take part in three out of seven Boulder WC's andit is the same story every year more or less. Long term progress instead of winning more overall titles.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
