Climbing Influencers Go Head-to-Head in the Ultimate Olympic Challenge! (Feat. Matt Groom)

[@denniswijker7162]

God I love Matt for doing this, and doing it PROPER. He's full on serious mode commentating the most silly fun shit I've ever seen, but also having so much fun with it! What a hero

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

He literally did this in one take too 🤯 so much fun!!!

[@denniswijker7162]

@@AnnaHazelnutt Such a professional 😁 Fantastic video Anna! So much fun (it really showed you guys had a great time too! I didn't know Beau, but I lolled so much about his entire persona 😂), and stroke of genius to get Matt to commentate. Hope you can do more stuff like this in the future! :D

[@sarahhagen2051]

He’s so awesome!

[@anon95274]

Matt commentary makes me smile for 50 mins straight. Really great video - thanks to everyone for putting this together !

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Matt did such a good job! And thank you!!

[@moonlight00001]

I was like surely you can't be right, the video wasn't 50min. It went by sooo fast, so much fun !

[@pirukiddingme1908]

“I am a professional at this but I am occasionally a complete idiot” Matt Groom you legend 😂😂😂

[@bluesmasterelf]

"Paris 2024 a bit of a feeder event, into this one." rolling

[@SuperCraft1999]

I lost it when beau showed up with full trad gear for the toprope round

[@theflaggeddragon9472]

And the speed climbing 😂 chalking up was the icing on the cake 🍰

[@UKAli181]

Matt managing to do this without laughing (much) is a credit to how good he is as a commentator!

[@courtclimbs]

“There are holds here, but she’s not using them” - never related more 😂😂😂

[@Claudia18915]

I really want to see this style comp with Magnus, Louis, HMB, Emil, Josh e.t.c

[@1donjul]

Definitely, would legit watch a multi day event of that

[@jwalkrr]

for reaaaaal!!!

[@miataqc8763]

Dom's climbing was sooo impressive. no swinging, very static style, constantly in control throughout the entire climb.. makes me want to take training more seriously now.

[@KirstenRietveld]

Yeah, I loved watching him!!

[@nilsp9426]

I wondered when your next vid would hit, but I didn't expect a meteor :O

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

💥😤🙏🏽

[@uncleiso]

Getting Matt Groom to commentate this is easily the most genius play I've ever seen on YT. This was great! I gotta train to hopefully qualify for next year's!

[@noahdavidson1343]

I love Matt, if only I could have listened to him for the actual olympics :((

[@nilsp9426]

Oh yes! The German commentary was so bad, a fellow climber at my gym sent a complaint to the broadcasting service...

[@THVHSYR]

Another German who would have loved to listen to Matt‘s commentary… He makes me smile every time and is really comptent. The women‘s Olympic commentary was much better then the men‘s though, they had Megos‘ coach as a co

[@clarehiggins5398]

Agreed from the U.S.! Missed Matt so so much

[@nilsp9426]

@@THVHSYR Honestly, I was surprised how little he added and how much of the stupid verbal attacks (towards the leaner climbers) he participated in.

[@ten8468]

I bought a subscription to MAX during the Olympics exclusively so that I could listen to him and Shauna. Two minutes into the french commentary and I was already going crazy as well! 😅

[@coffeebikesrockrepeat]

Legendary video Anna. The fierce competition, the videography editing and hats off to Matt for the golden soundbites. I know you wont be able to get this group together for every video but what an absolute treat!

[@clarehiggins5398]

MATT!!! WE NEEDED HIM you're a genius

[@mystishio]

Beau showing up with full trad gear was epic! This was a fantastic comp. 😂 And I love how Matt took this seriously enough to make it even more funny 😆

[@luanferreira-dev]

6:53 "Big fall there...I Hope she is okay." 😂

[@THVHSYR]

A real highlight of climbing youtube 2024. Emil‘s comp was also gold.

[@MrChristof1234567890]

“A private moment in this very public event” he put everything into this commentary. Thank you Matt :)

[@DanielDobbelstein]

Best video on entire yt for the past months! Chalking up on the speed route... 😂😂😂😂

[@KarlaFordham]

When the commentary and camera work is better than the actual olympics 😮💯

[@TobyWild]

A+++ commentary, blows the Olympic commentating out of the water. He didn't even once mention being at La Bourget.

[@WaechterDerNacht]

Came for climbing, stayed for Matts commentary...

[@maniacmatt25]

Production value through the roof! Loved it.🎉

[@maxrope7618]

OHHH Anna and all who's involved, thank you so much for this video

[@rachelt3964]

Are Beau and Anna's weaknesses telling us something 👀👀

[@ChocolatTherapy]

immediately crossed my mind during Beau's intro lmao.

[@rachelt3964]

We love you guys! Matt commentating! Silly stats that include the ape index! Stellar climbing! Literally what could be better 💖💖💖

[@LarsFL]

This was absolutely fenomonal to watch, I was smiling the entire way through!! Fantastic commentary by Matt too, he really went all in on this haha (Also, I never knew that the lads from we love you were so good at climbing)

[@LadyLaddy]

I‘m stuck in a train for hours and you can’t believe how much I enjoy this video. Everyone here is tired and a bit annoyed and I‘m laughing 🤣. Great job Anna, Matt and the gang! 🎉

[@JesseGuo]

the church of dynology is underrepresented here, but epic video :D

[@theflaggeddragon9472]

True!! I would love his commentary on the trad gear ascent with chalking up on the speedwall

[@freehandcorn]

I genuinely love how into this Matt was. He’s definitely one of my favorites as he commentates his own boulders on insta. What a guy. Such a fun video, Anna!

[@Zekew24]

The smile on my face when the video started with "hey man"!!! Had no idea the We Love You guys climbed but it makes perfect sense now. This was an awesome video with a great crew!

[@JonathanKessler-d1h]

Awesome video!! Anna and Matt. You guys are the best. Thanks for belay shout out. lol😂lol😂

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Thanks for the belays!!

[@stephantom8237]

I had no idea the We Love You guys were climbers. Delightful video.

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Right!?

[@nicolasd6391]

Always thought, their philosophy was close to the climbing community:))

[@Barbs_]

I only ever saw climbing gear in one of their videos, but I had no idea they were this good! Inspirational in many ways

[@jhues780]

This is so fun, especially with the commentary! Love the climber bios too haha. What a great vid :)

[@XLessThanZ]

Awesome event!👍🏽 Matt "the voice of climbing" Groom really added to the excitement😎

[@cbeaumartino]

So much fun doing this with you Anna!

[@AntZucaro]

Loved it. Thank you Anna and Matt!

[@CrisisDesired]

This is so awesome, Anna!!!

[@ace.of.space.]

omg the "we love you" guys!!! 😊

[@csuanfa]

I dont know this guys, but the commentary made it joy to watch.

[@mikemoore-hehim1149]

very cool to have Matt; also waiting for the director's cut with more dialogue from the great ensemble cast :)

[@tommeyer3871]

Matt commenting on this makes this so much better, it sounds ironically professional adding that special flavor

[@JalealBennett]

This is EXACTLY what we needed after the Olympics!!!! The great styles of climbing, multiversatile, and entertaining! The Video we never knew we needed HAHAHA! I have FOMO after watching this 😭😭

[@skyfisk]

This is hands down the best video I've ever seen on KZbin :D Such a fantastic idea and 10/10 in execution!

[@slytherinbrian]

Best KZbin climbing video ever! Loved the commentary, and the competition.

[@Claudia18915]

Damn the routsetters really being last minute if they're doing the lead route while the climbers are bouldering

[@TheAbd1233]

This is such a great video idea.

[@whazee]

Anna, just out of the blue, dropping this absolute banger! 😅 GREAT JOB TEAMS!!!

[@juanmacias5922]

This was so awesome! Great commentary, and even better competitors!

[@aarongittelman2508]

This is the most legendary cross over ever. Matt is such mensch for doing this so well, and Anna is brilliant for thinking to ask.

[@loubsermeyer]

This was so much fun! Top class competition & commentary!

[@cpdavis1]

This was so so so much fun to watch, like I loved every minute of it!

[@iamgrays]

Fabulous video. Really enjoyed it and special credit to Matt for his wonderful commentary.

[@irenaadventures]

Team pink pony club 🌸💞🐎

[@hannibal3143]

Such an amazing video!! Matt's commentary was amazing as usual 😂😂. I'm looking forward to seeing what you cone up with next!

[@BeckT.]

I like the format very much. A successful change.🙌🏼💪🏼 More of this please😍

[@goldilocks4112]

This is amazing! Also, how is the filming better for this than for world cups. There is no close up of a foot at the exact moment the climber does the crux move!

[@littleraccoon-yg4ih]

So good. We need more of this silliness, so much fun!

[@Boothie678]

Matt is the best commentator! Wish he did every climbing video

[@davidalvarezgarcia3784]

the best climbing content on the internet ;) and what a delight of commentator in this process

[@epocalypsefilms]

It’s so much fun that it’s Matt

[@MaeDeSloover]

Thank you guys for such an amazing episode, this was epic !!!

[@ciarancotter4607]

This is so good with Matt on voice xD Love it

[@CookieCreamCrumble]

i just caught up on the last ifsc comp yestreday anf npw felt like i was watching another one haha loved this

[@brunoloboo2]

Beau chalking up halfway through the speed climbing route cracked me up 😄

[@nazscreamous]

I friggin love yall sense of humor :D:D

[@spencermckay]

Beau is my roman empire.

[@alib3332]

LOL Matt was brilliant in this, he's such a good sport

[@MikeW-md6gd]

Funniest Video in a long time @Anna @Matt, love Matt lending commentary.

[@msig206]

I love how Matt is commenting like how he usually does it for IFSC. Well done guys! Please have the athletes have their own team to train and get their mentee to compete like this XD

[@ayuminor]

Did Irena just lift up the unit Dom at the end there? She's STRONG what the heck!

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Irena is high key a unit

[@LiamRappaport]

26:14 Pink team with 8 tops and 6 zones?? Do they not get the zone if they get the top?

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Ooof ifsc making huge mistakes like this on such a high level comp. Unacceptable 😮‍💨

[@kamenng8426]

I think thats more than a years worth of magdust. Or maybe i dont use enough.

[@deminmax]

That comp is much better then the 2024 Olympics! Matt is awesome!

[@agario5161]

Beau was hillarious with the trad rack on toprope😂

[@KuroNekoIX]

hearing "route reading error" on a speed wall is funnier than it should be lol

[@sofiaspassova9587]

the TAMPONS in the ad shot!! YESSS ❤❤❤

[@runforrest86]

Had several beers and laughed my ass off. Matt was fantastic and this was a freaking hoot. Well done

[@flwi]

Great competition! The guy with all the outdoor gear was 😂😂 Epic climbing by Dom - never climbed on a speedwall, but he had some powerful moves going on 💪

[@marka.6879]

A collab with Anna and the we love you guys is such a great surprise. I did not see that coming

[@rhettetherington1351]

That was brilliant. Great fun and Matt is so good.

[@brycelane3261]

Best climbing video of all time

[@Kwigs_kun]

God bless Matt for doing this. What a legend

[@RossPotts]

Dom should be getting style points. Very fluid on that first Boulder!

[@KwadSkwad]

Truly enjoyable to watch!

[@TheDeaf424242]

Amazing video. I already loved Matt, but this improves my opinion of him even more!

[@matteobecchi1210]

Crazy to hear Matt Groom comment in this video XD

[@aidanuy]

Amazing event and great competitors and commentary!

[@danealexander7325]

THIS is what we need!

[@foxiroonie91210]

I think Matt won the gold for this for sure!!

[@harismichail2]

that was really fun for a sat breakfast video

[@sebarrow663]

Loved it! 👏👏👏

[@Bobbzorzen]

I hope they sent in an appeal for that false start from Beau on Boulder 2 Very funny video, loved it!

[@Taykorjg]

If only Alex honnold could commentate too! But so cool to just have Matt!!!

[@emilychilds7646]

Laughing my ass off you got Matt to do this!

[@theafloreani9893]

Matt is a legend

[@chickenspy1854]

20:33 Ah. This must be the breakdancing portion of the competition.

[@bibo151]

Haha good job Anna, this is brilliant 👌

[@bongomat]

Beau is fucking hilarious

[@Schrodinger_]

I only wish the speed route had a crack, so we could watch beau stop, place a cam, put a sling around it, pull on it to test it, and then keep climbing on leaving it behind
