This mini documentary warmed my heart. Itâs well made and very inspiring. Itâs hard to believe in yourself, when you see so many strong role models around you. But everyone can be a role model for someone else and Iâm 100% sure what ever happens, she is already inspiring and impressing people.
thank you so much for this very sweet message ðĨē
Looking forward to the next episide!
Go Go Svana ðĨ so proud you let me work with you to tell your story !! ð
ðĨ°
So cool Go Go Svana !!!
go svana!
ðŠðŠðŠ go go go and letâs do it!!
Great video! Interesting to hear about your motivation for different aspects of climbing. Good luck in your future projects ðŠ
thanks a lot !
So much gratitude to both of you in your climbing inspiration. But I have to disagree when he says being sensitive is a barrier. That she should be more confident. I think clarity in climbing is important, knowing where you are, not being confident. I think she is super good because she sees other athletes as stronger than her. And being sensitive is (not ego sensitive) always a great way to live.
thanks for your message :) yes I think knowing where you are is very important but I do think self confidence is also super important in climbing, especially when it comes to competitions. There are days I don't train properly because there are strong girls at the gym and I'm afraid what they will think of me if I climb and I'm not as good as them. So it's a bit limiting :) I guess it's all about the right balance !
Amazing vibe!!
Such a lovely person âĪ
All the best to you! ðŠ Impressive progress and dedication. Go go go, Viking! Love both Iceland and climbing in Spain.
Thank you :) :)
Very cool video. Good luck to her. She seems like a badass.
Bravo et bonne chance ððððĨ
merci beaucoup !
âĪâĪâĪâĪ
Good job svana, great video!
ððžððž
So cool !
And even if it probably isn't gonna end up with her qualifying she's still gonna get super strong and then be able to send cool stuff outside âĪ
For sure ! I will be so ready for my hard projects in Oliana next season ðĨ
@@svanabjarnason6717 maybe a 9a proj ?
That'd be sooo sick
Bonne chance ! Il y a un autre ÃĐpisode ?
Bientot :)
Me at 31... Hearing another 31 years old saying that they're old ð
it was a joke ð I don't feel old in real life, just on the circuit sometimes as I'm competing with people in their twenties (when not even younger) !
But does she have a chance now still? I saw in lead she is 94. spot and in boulder 126 at the time of this comment. Seems quite low spots for a qualification for the Olympics 2024.
I loved the documentary and her spirit. I am quite similar. But would have liked if you had touched on this.
The Olympic Qualifier Series are on May 16th and June 21st so yes, I still have a chance ! Gotta be real strong at these comps ððž
Me at 41 now thinking wow 32 is young haha but when your 30 you think your old . Age is weird right . Just be happy to be the age you are and be happy with how your looks change in the mirror. Canât look 30 forever
I am happy :)
Wait, youâre telling us that behind a hyper-active Instagram influencer account of bikinis and hair and plastic pink stuff there isâĶan insecure person??? Alarming.
It's just her way of dealing with it, there's no need to be cynical about it, is there?
And you must have so much self contidence to feel compelled to comment like you did!
Her way of dealing with whatâĶ.the pressure of existing? Attention from strangers for climbing themed thirst traps? This is the strategy? She has had this dark gram habit for years and years now, it has nothing to do with this comp climbing project. These types of accounts fool no one, and they make thinking people uncomfortable, because to watch is to become complicit in someoneâs self destructive cycle. The refined sugar of likes and attention of strangers will never nourish. And it is sad because she does some objectively interesting things. She could do them with clothes on and/or in relative privacy and maybe her self image would grow and mature. But instead she sells it for likes and feeds the cycle of self doubt. Your assertion in the film, Jorg, that anyone would look at how she presents herself and believe that she is a happy or confident person is, not sarcastically, alarming. And zofia, I appreciate a knee jerk reaction to defend a female who is working with what she has to live her best. But I rather suspect you see what Iâm saying.
Hello ! Thanks for your message.To be honest i'm not sure I understood everything ð And I don't really get what you're trying to say ? But I'd be happy to talk about it more in private if you feel like chatting !
There's one thing you're right about, my pink gram habit (not dark, sorry) and my insecurity have nothing to do with the Olympic project, it's been there for years. But my instagram account was never made to "fool" anyone,it's simply a reflection of who I am. As you can see in this video, I do wear bikinis when I go to the beach, I do like pink and I do have hair (?!). As for plastic stuff, now that I switched from being a rock climber to being a comp climber, yea I do love pastic. Joke aside I've always been honest on social media, never sugar coated anything, which you will figure out if you actually read my posts.
Regarding my clothes... I feel sorry you don't seem to like the fact that I GENUINELY LIKE pink and animal print and that I wear (AND LIKE) shorts and bras when it's warm (fyi I live in Spain, a very warm country most of the time but when it does get cold I'm like everybody, and even worse since I wear 2 pairs of leggings, pink socks in my climbing shoes - which you will see at 0'30 in this video - and 3 down jackets). But there's nothing I can do about it and I kinda don't care as I believe everybody is allowed to LIKE and wear whatever they want. There are people who love sweat pants, I don't. Do I point my finger at them because they climb with it ? I don't think so. On that matter I strongly invite you to read my 2nd pinned post on instagram.
Oh and one last thing, I'm pretty sure we don't know each other so please, don't feel like you're entitled to say I'm self destructive and not happy ;) That said, please feel free to reach out if you want to continue this discussion, I think it's an interesting subject. Happy Easter !ð°ðĢ
