At a loss for words really... Janja is unbelievably strong. Wins the boulder final with 4 tops in 5 attempts, then wins lead gold with a top on EVERY route in the competition. GOAT.
@@James-ku5rh i mean janja is at the point where theres no comparison left really. tyson always had a chip on his shoulder and youd know it. janja is just the best. by margin.
You can never overstate Janja's performance. If she doesn't top it then 90% chance it's untoppable. McNeice looked really good as well as Luo and Tanii.
Could this be Janja's last year? They were talking about how relaxed she looks and I was thinking "maybe she'll retire if she wins the Olympics." With a second gold medal, what else is there? I can only think of: 1) Win a 3rd Olympic gold and 2) clean sweep a lead season (which I know was what she was shooting for in 2022).
I suppose it all depends on what she enjoys more. You can't be this good without enjoying competitions, but who knows she might like the outdoor stuff better.
It just seems to me that great athletes like Janja are always in need of a challenge or a goal to pursue. If she wins gold at the Olympics this summer, then what is left? Like I said, there's trying to clean-sweep the lead season and going after a 3rd Olympics...but these are the sorts of goals that in the past have taken the fun out of climbing for her. That's why I brought up the idea of her moving onto something else.
Thank you so much! Now that you're here, will you be uploading the Koper semis and finals eventually? Thank you for this channel, it's a life saver @@ClimbingRocksAU
Yes will be. Processing semis now. Will be a few more hours. Here's the link, though it's in 720p while it's still processing. th-cam.com/video/oTZxboNLjIM/w-d-xo.html
@@ClimbingRocksAUthank you!! Final question. It doesn't show on your channel yet (besides that link) because of that processing you were talking about?
It doesn't show because I have not made it available yet due to processing and some double checking. When it's done I will make it available on the channel.
Ai Mori is a great athlete. In my opinion, her biggest weakness is her height (153 cm), she could easily threaten Janja if she were 10 cm taller. The problem is especially visible on boulders, where it is very clear that a few extra centimeters make a big difference.
@@olabe3819 Her small and slight physique is also her biggest strength on the wall, she's as light as a feather. If she were 10cm taller, she'd have a longer arm span but she'd also be heavier
She decided not to compete here. Probably working through her University course. She likes to keep a balance. It’s not all about climbing for her (unlike some of the competitors whose lives just revolve around climbing). She’s said in an interview that she’ll be at Innsbruck and also at Seoul this year (WC) and of course the Olympics. Looking forward to see what she brings to the stage in Innsbruck. I think Innsbruck will be where most (if not all) of the major competitors will be making a showing. It’s about a month or two before Paris so I imagine all the qualifiers will be there as a “practice run”.
@@olabe3819 If she was 10cm taller, her entire climbing style of being super light and efficient would not work anymore. She would probably climb completely differently, and I think it would be worse.
Ai Mori is the biggest challenger for Janja on lead, she has steel endurance and particular style and makes the competitions more interesting. However her weakness are dynamic moves, not her height, and that is what creates an impression that she is missing arm spam on some routes. Japanese and Korean girls with similar height did much better on many occassions when dynamic was needed. She talks about her motivation for Paris in interview with Akiyo Noguchi on Tamy channel.
why does laura rogora always look so skinny? i feel like if she is trying to be light for climbing, it's not working since everyone else doesn't seem to be as light and is still doing well
Yeah, but to enjoy the competition and pay some respect to other girls you can watch the whole thing. Even if they do not win they put on some show and interesting moves... It´s still World Cup
You set a route that is hard but "doable" for the women and Janja flashes it. You set a route hard enough to make Janja struggle, then none of the women can do it.
I can understand why our friends with a British accent pronounce most words the way they do, but 'bee-ta' for beta will never sound right to me. I guess the American 'bay-ta' must sound just as strange to them, but at least the American way isn't a homonym to a British 'beater'

yeah she's the prime Mike tyson of climbing lol no rival
@@James-ku5rh i mean janja is at the point where theres no comparison left really. tyson always had a chip on his shoulder and youd know it. janja is just the best. by margin.
@@James-ku5rhmore kind of a Michael Jordan for individual sports.
Janja is simply the best! . It is always a pleasure watching an athlete at the absolute peak of their powers and sport. GOAT
Janja should also join the mens
@@DeePunter There is high risk she would beat them all quite often 😆
Zhilu Luo is climbing amazingly! But definitely Janja is still unbeatable, what a magician!
You can never overstate Janja's performance. If she doesn't top it then 90% chance it's untoppable. McNeice looked really good as well as Luo and Tanii.
McNeice did really well. Getting into finals for both lead and boulder is not a small feat.
Janja is a different breed, you can't commentate climbing competitions without pointing it out over and over.
Luo Zhilu climbed so well, what a delight to watch! Janja impressive as ever but I'm glad the others got a chance to shine as well :)
Bravo, Janjaaaaa G.O.A.T. Ponosni smo nate.
Janja is clearly in another whole level.
my jaw literally started dropping at 40:00 janja is on another level
Thank you for posting it! ❤
Wow, poetry in motion 🎉
it may be predictable but I feel lucky to be watching whilst Janja is climbing like this. amazing.
What an amazing athlete she is, congratulations to Janja👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
There is such a big gap between Janja and the other girls. Every time when she joins a competition, everyone else can only hope for a silver
Can't forget about Ai Mori
Not quite. Ai Mori regularly puts Janja to the test.
@@Whuesoyep don’t think ai mori has lost to Janja on lead yet lately
@@bryanthan9363 She has, in koper and Innsbruck
Janja beat everyone on 2019 on the semi finals without a chalk bag and was the only one to top the route as well
Unreal performance by Janja. Such a joy to watch her make the impossible look easy 💪
doing the lords work! :D ty for upload
Erin looked really cool I really enjoyed watching her climb. Natsuki found some really impressive beta. Cool ladies all around
mia looked so insanely strong and confident on her attempt wow
Just great to watch. Thanks for sharing and especially thanks to our commentator with help from another athlet. Very charming. Thank you 🤩😍🥰
Increíble Janja 😍
The only thing that can stop Janja now is Janja!
janja is sooo good. she deserves it alleezzz
Janja legend. Какая же она жосткая. Красотка!

I really don't think she will stop climbing competition that soon ! she's really enjoying it
climb 9c then

I sure hope not! I'd love to see her crush outside too, but not yet
Vertical perfection
there should be a mixed comp with janja vs the men. i wonder if she could beat them.
I think she can, repeatedly
Do you guys know what year is that Insbruck cup he talks about where they all fell in the first few moves? 😱
It's the 2022 Innsbruck Final

Does anyone know which competition he is talking about at 10:58? Or have the link? Interested in watching it :)
Innsbruck 2022
GRANDISSIMA CAMILLAAA !!!!!
Scusa, Camilla e a casa, qui c´era Laura Rogora 😉
Its weird to be this quiet once the commentators are not talking 😅 No Dj, no crowd...
Is that Jessy Pilz commenting? Such a good job 🥰
It was Mattea Pötzi, from Austria.
Which grade is the wall !? Such an impressive setup !!!
40:09 its so impressive to see how the right food just finds the spot no look! btw. vote this comment up for anti spoiler

What belay device they use on camps I wonder?)
Just regular tube-style device.
do they broadcast this live?
Yes. The IFSC Channel.
@sportclimbing
@@ClimbingRocksAU And Eurosport
Why doesn't the IFSC update Janja's profile photo?!
anyone know who the male commentator is?
Hamish McArthur from team GB
Janja top ma anche Laura è brava... Purtroppo è stata sfortunata in questa occasione
non c´e paragone.....
Laura looks painfully thin. Nobody else looks like you can count their ribs, it's a wonder her coaches seem to think that's all right.
Yea, I thought the trend of being dangerously thin was going down. A lot of athletes have been raising awareness about this too.
i gasped when i saw her, i hope she's okay, she kinda looks like she could faint at any moment
So, where is Ai Mori ????
why does laura rogora always look so skinny? i feel like if she is trying to be light for climbing, it's not working since everyone else doesn't seem to be as light and is still doing well
goat ahahahaha
I bet Janja never needs help with pickle jars.
Sorry ladies. Skipped over everyone else attempt to just watch Janja. If you want to learn you have to watch the best do it.
Yeah, but to enjoy the competition and pay some respect to other girls you can watch the whole thing. Even if they do not win they put on some show and interesting moves... It´s still World Cup
another sad example of IFSC being unprofessional with the video footage. overexposed or people walking in front of the camera... 🤨😐😐
yeah, but it has been improving
ggg
You set a route that is hard but "doable" for the women and Janja flashes it. You set a route hard enough to make Janja struggle, then none of the women can do it.
In the end if you wanna beat janja you have to top the route and do it fast! 😅
@@eduardonegrao8364 Or get lucky and do a bit better in semifinals, like Ai Mori once ... 😀

Maybe Janja can identify as a man as of next year , so that she/he can compete on harder routes.
Great climbing...absolutely terrible commentary....
Matt Groom doing a great job!!!!!!
I really liked Mattea Pötzi, what was your problem with the commentary?
@@somebody5086 he/she probably doesn´t know himself/herself....
I highly disagree, Matt is solid successor of Charlie Boscoe. And still way ahead of commentary on Eurosport..
@@petefly3103 absolutely agree😌
