We ran an Olympic Comp with 2 Olympic Medallists 🥇🥉

[@charlesstanden1685]

And now Toby is Olympic champion!! 🇬🇧🥇🥇🥇 Congrats

[@GreeGraa]

Watching Alberto in the OQS, that man seems to be in crazy form right now. The Olympics is going to be a thrilling watch. I’m rooting for you, Toby!

[@jacobjdong]

yeah honestly, i kind of raised my eyebrows when he got gold in 2021 but he seems to have dialed in for this year

[@TobyClimbing]

He’s insanely strong 💪🏼💪🏼 thank you!

[@colemantrebor6574]

You understand why he is the olympic champion now, great all round athlete and so incredibly strong

[@GreeGraa]

@@colemantrebor6574 People think he 'didn't deserve' the gold last time, because of speed and the scoring system. He is proving them wrong!

[@sightreader2507]

@@GreeGraato be fair though, his current shape now means nothing about whether or not he deserved it 3 years ago

[@Blujeanbb_]

Your personal insight into training, mindset, and beta are incredibly valuable! We are SO lucky to be able to peek behind the scenes at Olympic level climbers; NO ONE is making any content of Toby’s caliber to showcase all the training, highlights and lowlights of what it takes to be an elite climber in the Olympics. Keep up the great work, Toby!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you so much, I’ll try keep the content coming out :)

[@austris_]

"I wasn't kicking my liquid chalk there, I was just gently moving it to where I wanted it to be" I'm gonna borrow that line, ha. Superb video!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you 🫡😂

[@2Stalky]

That contortionistic shoulder move on the finals boulder was crazy... Even the basically impossible finals slab was insane. Great work, awesome video too!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you so much!

[@JManBanshee]

Love seeing the community aspect of climbing is still there even between competitors, great video

[@TobyClimbing]

Climbing has a great community 😊

Watching this after you won Gold, what an amazing journey . Congratulations 🎉

Dang, those are some exceptional, quality route settings. Kudos to the route setters. An what an amazing video. The editing is flawless. The performance displayed by all the climbers. Your insight and that try hard beast mode. My FAVORITE video on your channel so far!

[@TobyClimbing]

The boulders were definitely awesome! Thank you so much I’ll try keep the content coming!

[@ammonc6252]

I just came here after the Olympics. The insights make climbing so much more interesting. I didn't get it before - how climbing is more than just strength and technique. It's bloody amazing to see the problem solving, and the sheer elegance of everything! Wow. Mind-blowing. I'm a huge fan of this now. I also love how the competitors are all rooting for each other - like it's some sort of celebration of what the human body can achieve.

[@liangfamily]

It’s mind-blowing how Alberto always PEAKS just right for the Olympics. You are still my pick for A MEDAL IN PARIS

[@LianaAkobian]

'always', but there has been only one olympic comp so far. but yeah he's super strong!

[@SkilledTrash99]

​@@LianaAkobianI think his point is that he had a terrible boulder season last year, and just a few months before the Olympics, he absolutely dominated at Shanghai and it seems like he is gonna do it in Budapest OQS as well

[@itsmyboardwhotalk]

not so much mind blowing and just good preparation ;)

[@TobyClimbing]

He’s a beast 💪🏼💪🏼

[@Zabucracker]

It's always great seeing all the different climbers from all nations training together and helping each other out. That's one of the aspects I love about climbing. I will be in Innsbruck and cheering you on. :)

[@joethepro7018]

that shoulder move at 14:40 was ridiculous haha, good luck at the olympics!

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you!!

[@itsmyboardwhotalk]

can understand your frustration and I know what I say wont change anything, but dude you are in a crazy form at such a young age and with such a professional mindset (commenting your own climbs is such a genius way of learning; may open important doors/sponsering etc.)... I think even with a little bit less tension you are on an incredible path :)

[@TobyClimbing]

Thank you so much :))

[@telanos2492]

I watched you win Gold in the Olympics, and then remembered that I had seen some of your videos! Just came back to say congrats and well done! Also an extra observation and note of appreciation for being friendly/collegial with your fellow athletes when you're not climbing. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere is among the things I like most about bouldering, and its nice to see it come through at the elite level, even if its captured as B-roll footage to put something on screen when there isn't a climb :)

[@calebsnook]

Another Toby banger, good luck at the Olympics

[@flyntrobertson2450]

[@epincion]

Thanks Toby, over the years I have watched a lot of channels about bouldering and a shedload of videos and I can honestly say you and your camera person (?Dad) have hit upon the best way I have ever seen of putting together a reprise of a comp. I came away awed at such a great video.

[@dsoegijono]

Toby you did great. As always maximum effort from your part but seeing Alberto climb... he has this floating feeling when he's on the wall. He seems that he is pulling effortlessly on absolutely nothing. May God help you all at the Olympics cause he is here to content very seriously for gold. I am sure you'll be up there as well.

[@schugi9136]

Toby, Olympic winner. How cool is that? Well done

[@dreadcoil]

GET THAT GOLD TOBY! YOU GOT IT IN YOU BROTHER!

[@TobyClimbing]

[@dreadcoil]

@@TobyClimbing What is it about beetroot? Beetroots are rich in nitrate and anthocyanins. Both provide health benefits but it's primarily the nitrates that give the performance benefits. Once ingested, the nitrate is converted in the mouth by the local bacteria into nitrite. In the acidic conditions of the stomach, the nitrite is then converted to nitric oxide, which is absorbed into the bloodstream. Nitric oxide dilates blood vessels, which delivers oxygen more quickly to the muscles, so energy can be burned to fuel the exercising muscles. The result is that less energy is used for performance, which means it takes longer to tire.

[@dreadcoil]

@@TobyClimbing beetroot > red bull ;)

Toby, this video was sick! Thanks for making it, and you’re gonna crush at the Olympics for sure 👍 I just have one question, that you obviously don’t have to answer. I’m on a youth team and at the gym, there is no slab. Do you think this will be important in my overall development as a climber? (Mostly for comps)Thanks so much!

It might just be my inexperience in comp stuff, but what was wrong with the tops > top attempts > zones > zone attempts scoring system? It was a lot easier to understand - which you'd think would really matter for an Olympic comp 🤷

[@santiagogf89]

The problem with that scoring system is that there is no easy translation/comparison between lead and boulder. And the whole idea of the Olympic score format is that both Boulder and Lead can be added together so they are equally important for the final result.

[@TrackpadProductions]
