Lead Finals | Wujiang | Womens | 2024 | IFSC World Cup

[@benwallace2539]

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]

yeah she's the prime Mike tyson of climbing lol no rival

[@Schlongusdongus]

@@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.

[@nicolasm.3708]

@@James-ku5rhmore kind of a Michael Jordan for individual sports.

[@EkoBiohazard]

Zhilu Luo is climbing amazingly! But definitely Janja is still unbeatable, what a magician!

[@WonderWhatHappened]

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.

[@edgykay]

McNeice did really well. Getting into finals for both lead and boulder is not a small feat.

[@DuckWarrior13]

Janja is a different breed, you can't commentate climbing competitions without pointing it out over and over.

[@alenkasalej627]

Bravo, Janjaaaaa G.O.A.T. Ponosni smo nate.

[@Remow2112]

Janja is simply the best! . It is always a pleasure watching an athlete at the absolute peak of their powers and sport. GOAT

[@DeePunter]

Janja should also join the mens

[@petefly3103]

@@DeePunter There is high risk she would beat them all quite often 😆

What an amazing athlete she is, congratulations to Janja👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@crhistiandavila7562]

Increíble Janja 😍

[@timndel]

The only thing that can stop Janja now is Janja!

[@allanhee]

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).

[@suckieduckie]

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.

[@sopsophie]

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

[@benegesserit9836]

climb 9c then

[@allanhee]

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.

[@arrrriba]

I sure hope not! I'd love to see her crush outside too, but not yet

[@zeerael]

Janja legend. Какая же она жосткая. Красотка!

​@@ClimbingRocksAUthank you!! Final question. It doesn't show on your channel yet (besides that link) because of that processing you were talking about?

[@ClimbingRocksAU]

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.

[@stonefox2546]

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.

[@siddharthr2621]

Yea, I thought the trend of being dangerously thin was going down. A lot of athletes have been raising awareness about this too.

[@sageforrest4744]

i gasped when i saw her, i hope she's okay, she kinda looks like she could faint at any moment

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

[@Alex.0470]

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.

[@eduardonegrao8364]

In the end if you wanna beat janja you have to top the route and do it fast! 😅

[@petefly3103]

Sorry ladies. Skipped over everyone else attempt to just watch Janja. If you want to learn you have to watch the best do it.

[@petefly3103]

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

[@TheXeeman]

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

Just great to watch. Thanks for sharing and especially thanks to our commentator with help from another athlet. Very charming. Thank you 🤩😍🥰

[@jeffreychongsathien]

Why doesn't the IFSC update Janja's profile photo?!

[@forttiche]

But, what about Ai Mori ? Where is she? 😢

[@olabe3819]

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.

[@Archihuman]

@@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

[@lill8537]

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”.

[@arrrriba]

@@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.

[@petefly3103]

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.

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'
