I don't think she wants to win the competition, she wants to win the problem. And the way she destroys them is just a pure joy to watch.

[@robsonlin9599]

Well said, I read somewhere her motto is to have fun!

[@carina-nonbinary]

She said that in an Interview with Akiyo (which is a great interview btw, it's on youtube). She's more annoyed when she doesn't solve a problem than when she misses a medal.

[@airi9673]

she even makes her competitors smile like crazy, it's so amazing to see her climb because of how she seems to love climbing :)

[@nasreddinechajaadine6441]

Walking next to her in the street, you would never imagine she is among the strongest people in the world

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

she is just incredible; holding her weight with 2 fingers?????

[@thor498]

Yeah pound for pound she's incredibly strong and still so light weight she can do things with friction alone others could never do.

[@eidokun]

Also the smartest. She finds a solution that is unique to herself

[@Syntax1963A]

back in the days when I started climbing, which is now 43 years ago, we trained years to build up muscles, and of course the fingers strength and grip. The top guys at those times had been incredible powerful, athletic bodies (like the German Wolfgang Güllich who free soloed as the first human ever 'Seperate Reality,' or Heinz Zack, or even the first woman famous in the climbing scene Lynn Hill, etc...) Seeing now this tiny real slim girl, near half a century later, which if you look at here you may think she's just a young schoolgirl, no muscular body, but she climbed like something I never had seen ahead of watching her. Like a spider and very intelligently solves all these riddles, it looks so effortless, so easy and unreal - I am speechless and in deep awe. If you know how incredible hard it is to hold on this tiny holds in an incredible overhanging wall, and denies gravity then you realize she is something special. Ai Mori is not from this world, I never seen somebody like her. What an amazing climber.

[@theodizeeproblem]

very well put. thank you for these appreciative lines.

[@nilsp9426]

One thing she has going for herself is that she probably only weighs half of the athletes you listed. After all, it is also about efficiency, especially in lead climbing, not only about maximum strength. But building any meaningful level of strength, let alone this insane body tension at that weight is crazy.

[@lill8537]

Love her style of climbing. Slow, methodical, purposeful. It’s very zen. Almost respectful? She doesn’t do many dynamic power moves, preferring static moves. Her style is not showy or ostentatious but it works. And she garners respect because it’s just so different. I think because she’s not out there doing big power moves, the likelihood of injury is further reduced. It’s careful, intelligent climbing that promotes longevity in the sport. Her persona is the same on the wall as it is off the wall. Calm, focused and resolute. Looking forward to seeing her climb for a long time.

[@abadalleinagraciep.2746]

Yeah exactly, i like her way too. She controls her body very well unlike others who swing their bodies so much

[@nilsp9426]

The control and mobility is insane. I think it is the combination of being short and strong in the whole chain. And she also has great technique, too! She moves so quickly and with perfect precision through some powerful stuff. An then she slowly breaks down difficult moves into something manageable with creative body positioning.

[@jacoboblanco1555]

Ai Mori sometimes trains in the gym where I usually climb here in Tokyo, and I've never seen anyone more focused on the work ahead of them than her.

[@AwkwardAsian]

Lol why are you in Tokyo? 😂

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

34:18 this segment is crazy. not only does she not stop for a second after she secures gold, she just starts zooming up. 35:02 is also great. She's just staring up like "why didn't I get that hold? I am more than capable enough of getting that"

[@airi9673]

fun and sport first, competition somewhere far behind sport and having fun

[@sirporkrib7643]

4:31 is the best moment🤣 You can see how three people from three different continents say "wow" in three different ways.

[@PBandJames1]

What a great demonstration of climbing to one's strengths. She doesn't need to be tall and beefy because she knows how to take advantage of being small, light, and flexible. Her focus and familiarity with her body is so impressive. You can see her really taking the time to be comfortable with every move, with no problems smearing out super wide or hanging off of difficult holds in ways that would pull heavier athletes right off. There's also these impossible looking dynamic moves for one of her stature, but she has less weight to secure when sticking the hold and she makes them from positions of such stability that her appearance of "floating around" clearly comes from knowing how her own body climbs best. Can't wait to see her get even better.

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

still you can't deny her incredible strength. lifting your own bodyweight like its nothing takes crazy training

[@-gui-]

36:37 Ai Mori doesn't seem amused that she gets only three teapots after all that effort to win first place. 😂

[@phyoishere]

Ai mori always amuses me with her facial expressions whenever she wins 🏆 🤣 she looks kinda upset even lol

[@Zoe-ym3kz]

She was probably mad that she didn't get higher. I would be. She missed that grab, otherwise she definitely could have gotten a lot farther.

[@gamesgames3318]

Maybe she's just nervous and hyper focused. Some laugh some become stoic. 🤷

[@Zoe-ym3kz]

@@gamesgames3318 facts! I can also see it just being overwhelming

[@michellechen3340]

i think in japan its rude to show off when you win

[@SS-nt9hr]

She doesn't aim to win the game. That's why she's rarely happy when she wins.

[@Bloxeh]

I was so happy when she came back to competitions 2022. I am so curious and excited to see what else she can do. On the channel of Akyio / Meichi / Tomoa she was a guest climber last year and went lead climbing against Tomoa. I really loved that episode.

[@benoitbergeron8858]

You made me go and watch it! 😂 She's really an amazing climber.

[@stonewarden147]

You can watch her competition on JMSCA(sport climbing japan cup)

[@haoweishi1340]

Always love watching her ❤

[@miguelgarcia1]

She is incredible!

[@shadow15017]

Ai chan said that she climb the lead wall 30 rounds for training in around 3 to 4 hours in a Japanese tv show😂 no wonder she is so strong 🎉

[@martinhughes-games8541]

How does she do it? she's tiny, thin arms, nothing to her - yet she's utterly brilliant. Who would have thought this tiny genius would depose jana?! wonderful.

[@mx2000]

Well, she is also super-light. That helps a lot with the small crimps.

[@theinacircleoftheancientpu492]

Muscles don't have to look big to be strong, obviously more mass does make for greater power though

[@AMM1998]

because climbing is about strength- weight. you can either increase strength or decrease weight in order to succeed. she probably weighs 90lbs soaking wet

[@gamesgames3318]

@@mx2000 right, her muscles just need to be able to carry her weight, so sometimes being light is an advantage

[@jivvyjack7723]

She's a human lizard. 😄😄

[@callumw5]

Ai Mori just became my hero

[@zsoltbartus169]

She is the best, because despite her small stature she is still among the bests.

[@easyjapanese_learning]

I liked ai mori when she doing bouldering a couple years ago. She's really did it great but still lack on power and dynamic moves. After that she's didn't participate in any IFSC event so I think she quit or busy with real life. Seems she's training really hard to fixed her weakness. When she's back I'm surprised that her weakness already gone even she's so good in lead too to beat janja twice. WOW

[@rdlivelove]

Ai Mori is So amazing! This beautiful woman is simply the best!!!

[@thomasgoetz8178]

Ai has weight advantage and reach disadvantage, but brain is her biggest talent. Gravity looks her friend on the wall.

[@christopherwojtan750]

You can see it etched on her face she didn't do it for the win she did it because of the challenge. The shear creativeness and flexibility she showed scaling those leads and boulders. She is just an absolute juggernaut.

[@enderlain385]

BJC Feb 4 or 5, I think. Bouldering Japan Cup. Lead Japan Cup close to end of February. Ai Mori always unhappy when she doesn't top the lead wall. You could see no smile most of the time at that end podium.

[@nattokami9598]

I really love her but I think she shouldn’t be so hard on herself. I rarely see her smile which makes me feel sad :(

[@V8chump]

@@nattokami9598I wonder if she had parents that pushed her, almost forced her, to climb hard from a young age. Could be where that mindset comes from

[@YukiStori]

@@V8chump her parents weren’t huge climbers and she has a younger brother too who doesn’t seem to climb at all, so I don’t think they force her. In a recent interview she also spoke about her parents wanting her to attend a regular high school but she chose to attend a distance education school so she could have more flexibility in her schedule and go to more comps (this was back in 2019).

[@ONCEINABLUEMOON1993]

@@V8chump I don’t think any parents could force any kid to become world class. According to domestic interview, she is perfectionist. She used to journal her training progress. If she didn’t do better the last training, she would beat herself up, although she has stopped cuz it’s bad for her mental health.

[@KeyKey279]

@@nattokami9598 she says in the interview that she gets upset when she doesnt finish the route; she isnt interested in competition or rank nor medal, but she purely enjoy climbing. we japanese can be shy and less facial expression than other country, but it doesnt mean that heart is burning with passion and happiness :)
