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

[@Makowako_]

@@undeniablySomeGuyI mean she did have footholds but I agree she is insane

[@鴨川水穂]

11才です😂kawaii

[@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.

[@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.

[@jayb555-r9k]

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.

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

[@sirporkrib7643]

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

[@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

[@luziel3071]

I love how Stasa is just loosing her mind trying to comment on Ai’s climbing 😂

[@nilsp9426]

4:32 these looks say it all, what a showing!

[@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

[@rdlivelove]

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

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.

Beautiful 😍 and strong ai ❤️ 😍 ✌️

[@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

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.

I’m with Stasa on the amazement of Ai Mori on a lead route. Absolutely mental stuff from her

[@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

★Here is a video that hasn't been deleted yet. asap.→ kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5TMfZifrJZ5bJY or → kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHWXm4GQrLGMmKs She tried again and again and again for 4 minutes but didn't reach the first hold and got 0 points. However, she managed to complete the difficult third boulder, even though he was exhausted, and got 25 points. And don't forget the lead division, that she was in 1st place in with 96.1 points, more than 10 points more than the gold medalist Garnbret. This shows how much of a threat Mori was. However, in total, she was in 4th place because of the 0 points on the boulder, which was 135.1 points. ★By the way, the difference between her and the bronze medalist Pilz was 12.3 points. The first boulder is worth 25 points. So if Mori had reached the first boulder, she would have won at least the bronze medal. The difference between her and second place Raboutu was 20.9 points, so she may could have won the silver medal too. (In fact, Mori won the world championships by defeating both Raboutu and Gambret.) You can see the scores.for the semi-finals and finals have the exact same structure. www3.nhk.or.jp/sports/olympics/discipline/result.html?disciplineId=f08e1755-2e77-33cc-8a73-85667a322064&eventId=95f60440-4cad-3e0f-9b25-39bd33ff8aac What do you think,about this route setting?

[@androgynousmaggot9389]

19:17 I don't think Matt understands what she's doing! After the first time she fell at the top, she understood she's too short to create tension with her right leg, so she was trying to bring her left higher to use it and dropped the right to create counterbalance! He did the same at the crux in Koper when Matt said she used her right hand to bring the leg to the crimp! Sometimes, I'm not sure we're watching the same thing 🤦🏻‍♂️ Also, I don't think many understand how stressful Japanese qualifications for the national spots are! So I'm not sure they are more stressed on international comps

@@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).

@@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.
