When she won the Lead WC in 2014 was amazing. What a show! I've always admired her elegance. And I like that she climbs slowly, using technique and flexibility rather than raw power, although I'm sure she has plenty of that.
Let's say Kim is the reason I've started to go climbing gym after couple years of rope acces work. As much as I want ,I can't find any climber to match her elegance on lead. When climbing meets art u get Jain Kim
Damn, after watching Free Solo I started looking-up climbing vids/climbers. I'm no climber, but damn, after watching a few of her climbs...it's amazing how smooth she is.
@@SendEdition Partly due to the combined format and partly to really strong sport climbers like Laura Rogora and Julia Chanourdie, both of whom have climbed 9b, she did not make it in. A lot of comp climbing right now really favours very strong very gymnastic climbers, you can see that in Janja, where her explosivity and just crazy strength has made her arguably the most dominant comp climber ever, male or female.
Jain Kim is at the top of my list when it comes to the best climbers in the world. What is your favorite moment with her?
Check Mina Markovic from the Slovenian team. She was also top competitor with Kim, prior to Janja.

My favorite moments are every time she smiles, her whole face lights up and shows the fun she just had. It's impossible not to smile along with her.

She is a VERY smooth climber, I totally agree - that's why she is one of my favorites, haha. Have you considered trying climbing?
Great video, fantastic research and educational quality. I hope your channel gets much more popular.
Eviktion thanks so much! That means a lot :)
good stuff! I cry everytime I watch her Gijón final
Oh, me too! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Watching her is like watching silk glide. She's mesmerising. She makes it look effortless. I could watch her all day.
May I ask which Adam Ondra interview you refer too? Now I really wanna go watch it haha. Jain Kim is a climbing goddess for me 😍
the climbing empress fits her so well
I totally agree! She is amazing :)
Definitely inspired by her!
I really hope Kim Ja-in gets a chance to be in the Olympics. I think it will be a travisty if she's not in the Olympics for climbing's debut. 💪🤘😷
She is a world-class climber so I also hope that she represents Korea - She really deserves it, I think

@@d3RrRp Jain Kim's not going to be there? :(
Just realized she kept training when 9 months pregnant!
Cool Video!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
do you have a link to that arirang interview?
wow Adam Ondra admires Kim @ 1:10
Jain Kim is amazing… so… can’t blame him :)
4:06 No fingerprints, eh? There's a ton a money stashed in some penthouses. Just saying.
She has the flexible hips of an Asian woman, due to the way the squat on the floor and do a lot of daily functions squatting down.
This is some kind of pseudoscience bullshit lmao.
