How I was 4 moves away from being an Olympian...

The Bern World Championships was an incredible 2 weeks of Climbing where the Combined Podium would walk away with the first 3 Olympic tickets for each gender...

[@arrrriba]

So excited for your 2024 season already!! Such a beast

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you! I can’t wait 😎

[@ScratchRick]

Omg we were rooting for you so hard!!! Really proud of how far you've come and you will definitely go further!! ❤

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks so much, I’ll keep pushing 🤞🏼😈

[@kavali6320]

It's great to see how you gain your experiences from the highs (and lows) of your comps in such a mindful way and manner. Keep on grinding and hold on to your positive mindset. Your time to qualify will come ;)

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you :) learning from mistakes is such a big part of sport, every competition I feel I’m learning something new and it’s great to build on that to become stronger 😈😎

[@miloplayz7474]

Did anyone else spot Magnus?

[@_alex_y.not_]

Holy cow was that Magnus in the crowd shot at 7:14?

[@colemantrebor6574]

Great spot!

[@melissarobinson8638]

You are a joy to watch climb. It was good to hear your reflections on how you’ll learn from your struggles. Good luck Toby and thanks for your great videos!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you, i appreciate the support. Glad you’re enjoying the videos 😎

[@kurtzepausekurtzepause1695]

I think the biggest thing would be a visit to the Wideboys cellar, to set some T-Grades !

[@benjamin7323]

Thanks for the vid Toby, I was really looking forward to your thorough and honest retrospective on Bern. Keep it up!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you, sorry for delay but I hope it could give a good insight :D

[@xFade_]

7:14 Magnus mitbo is watching you XD

[@TobyClimbing]

Good catch 😂

[@gee6940]

& now a gold medalist 👌

[@andrearamirezreyes3055]

Tobyyyy!!! I am so happy that you are feeling good after world champs. I am so proud of you. I believe that you are going to be in paris. 100%.

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you!! I’ll try my best 😎

[@Claudia18915]

This comment aged well!

[@hermannwigers8321]

With your mindset you are just bound for success. Truly inspirational!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you! I’ll do my best 😈

[@rolandblanchard3029]

God I love this sport. Athletes like you make it such a great time!

[@TobyClimbing]

Wow thank you :D

[@Bobbzorzen]

wholesome episode like always, was cheering you on during the champs!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks for the support 🙇‍♂️

[@evgeniyabrezhe9046]

I admire the way how you are transforming Bern's experience. That's so amazing to witness!

[@dwobs]

would love to see a vid of some dyno/lache coaching with Louis Parkinson @CatalystClimbing

[@slapthesloper]

He is probably still better than Louis tbh but a collab on hard comp boulders would be sick

[@rui_mcf]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts Toby, it's great to see how you reflect about your experiences, you really set a good example for everybody out there. It's hard to not become a fan after watching videos like this, can't wait to see you in your next comps, cheers

[@joetriccas]

The job you are doing communicating the nuances of high performance is exemplary. Thank you for sharing all of this incredible insider knowledge. A rising tide lifts all boats and I feel you will do great things for rock climbing public communication in your lifetime, if you wish.

[@lucaa4480]

Hi toby, do you take any supplements for your training? Like protein powder or creatine?

[@Nefville]

Awesome behind the scenes. I was rooting for you. You'll have many more comps ahead of you and hopefully soon you'll punch your ticket to the Olympics. The only advice I'd give is just keep up the good work and have fun. You have the right attitude to win and with more experience I have a feeling you're going to be winning a lot.

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you so much, I’m trying my hardest to qualify. I’ll keep pushing 😎 thanks for the support!

[@bigmonkeman66]

Nice, glad to see that you're able to take the positive from that experience. I'm wishing you all the best for the future comps, keep crushing!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you :D

[@dakiblabla]

Well now you are :)

[@VelascoFlorencia]

I've been waiting for this video. Thanks for sharing. Rooting for you and looking forward to seeing you in the next competitions.

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed :)

[@polkawillneverdie2159]

Awesome and really honest video, we will be cheering for you in all the next competitions!

[@mo5934]

So happy your feeling good after the world champs, great to see your keeping positive!! Looking forward to seeing you crush in Laval!!! Well done toby, you are awesome!!!!!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you! I will try my best 🦾🙏🏼😎

[@JakeSclimbing]

such a goat ly man

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you 😆🙏🏼

[@MooSurfer]

Toby, having competed on the British team in hang-gliding World and European Championships I completely understand what you mean by feeling overwhelmed. It's great to see videos like yours, which give more insight into the competitions and your openness and honesty over the feelings you go through is really refreshing. You said you 'have areas to improve' and will work on them.. Well I just watched the stream of you climbing in Laval. I guess you did just a little bit of work on those weaknesses ;-). You totally dominated that comp and were a joy to watch. I was cheering when you hit the top of the lead route!! Well done - you're an inspiration. I can't wait to see you in more comps and especially the Olympics!!

[@specialone751]

Not the best result but a good experience for you keep the hard work and the positive energy All the best in koper 🤙🏻

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you :D

[@brendanacord]

Awesome recap and great positive take-aways, cant wait to see you more! Thanks for taking the time to share!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you, I’m happy it came across well :D

[@jakeclimbs3073]

You’re such a cool climber with amazing style

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you 😎

[@alive65]

Hey you mentioned coming to Belgium, are you perhaps attending the MOF(Master of Fire) Competition at Camp de Base, and if so which slot are you doing for qualis?

[@TobyClimbing]

I am undecided if I am competing there but hopefully it will work out 🤞🏼

[@paulperez7443]

Maan it would be so awesome to see you there!:)

[@alive65]

@@TobyClimbing Hoping with you, if you do participate do know you'll have lots of support as I think you're a great inspiration to many young climbers in Belgium.

[@jacksonlomas7428]

Unreal content

[@sylvaingilbert6296]

Have been waiting so long for this video 😊 was rooting hard for you and you did great! You're perspective on things is quite amazing! Keep it up, 💪💪💪 best of luck for the nezt comps!!

Collab with @STORROR on dynos? Please?

[@Climbing3D]

So much enthusiasm in you Toby that you can achieve anything :) You are rising star on this darkie and wet island, you will put it into light and dry it up a bit, for sure. Did you think to see @WideBoyz in Sheffield? It may burst up your channel... and you can learn from them of course. (They had Ondra over in cellar.) Greetings from Peak District.

[@notapplicable7292]

It's heart breaking seeong how close you were to the Olympics. By the time the next one comes around its likely you'll be in peak physical shape.

[@colosseer4184]

Great to see you back!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thanks 😎

[@simonporter67]

Awesome and honest insight into the comp from an athlete's perspective. Even though we've gotten right into watching the world cup, my wife and I aren't climbers except for the occasional trip to the climbing gym. We do do circus aerials though, and we've notice climbers trying to generate momentum for swings differently to how we would on a trapeze. Climbing holds are obviously very different to a trapeze bar but if you want some unsolicited advice, for a bit of fun that might also help with those swings try and find a flying trapeze lesson to go along to.

[@hotbeefo]

Much as I'd love to see what you can do on rock, try and avoid burnout dude. We've seen so many people get burned out by comps.

[@andrearamirezreyes3055]

Ame la referencia a los juegos del hambre 🤣🩷

[@TobyClimbing]

Haha such a good film 🤣

[@koulmemaybe]

bro watching you hype the crowd on combined semis was the coolest moment of the comp

[@oriceane]

OMG yes to the knot slashing! 🤣

[@TobyClimbing]

😂😂

[@philologosjazz]

You have a really great attitude of learning and reflection. Looking forward to seeing you become even stronger and executing even better!

[@JamesRudgeParaclimber]

Great vid! And well spoken 🙌 Onto the next one 💪

[@ar_d2__]
