Ondra advanced to the finals from the divided first place, so he climbed last. From the beginning, he showed his excellent form.
The first boulder climbed on the second attempt, during the second he succeeded in the so-called flash, ie overcoming for the first time. He liked this “problem,” as the boulder climbers called it, at first glance.
He stuck in the third boulder, but none of the eight finalists made it to the top. “There was a so-called three hundred and sixty, which is not my favorite element. And when I caught the hole, it was clear to me that I would not get out of the sixty-six. So I tried to figure it out, which turned out to be almost successful, but not enough. , “Ondra described.
Success in the fourth boulder could have secured him a triumph in front of the home crowd. For the first time, it fell just below the summit, but the second attempt was already successful.
During the race, Ondra did not even know that the course was so dramatic. “I thought the zone was enough for me. It wasn’t like that, and if I had known, I would probably be more nervous, but in the end it all turned out well,” he said.
The 29-year-old Czech national team member was able to share his joy with more than a thousand fans who came to the evening program. He spent the whole day relaxed.
“I take this race as a very pleasant duty. And when I’m racing here, I should do a show, which was successful today. It was a race at home, but it wasn’t the World Cup, the World Cup or God forbid the Olympics, so I got it. he could only take it with a small amount of stress, which is completely different than when it is a race that is a lot, “he praised himself.
That is also why, after overcoming the zone in the fourth boulder, he made a joyful gesture towards the fans. “I knew there was a knee, so I rested and waved to the audience. Then I immersed myself in concentration again. The last step on the last boulder somehow didn’t suit me, I managed it that way on the second try,” he recalled.
Most of them also saw the women’s finals, in which Adamovská defeated only the final of four boulders, to which she once scored a partial success in the form of a zone. The winner was the Austrian Eva Maria Hammelmüllerová, who was the only one to have two tops.
Adamovská got to the finals from the eighth place only after the protest. “I was in ninth place because they wrote me an extra attempt at number one, because I got boulder in theory theoretically. That means I didn’t have limbs on the commas they’re supposed to be on. But they took me off before I was there. she just had to attach it, so they couldn’t count it as an attempt according to the rules, “she described why she wasn’t wrong in the promotion position at first.
She did not make it to the finals. She couldn’t handle the first two problems. At the opening, she was close to the zone during one attempt, but she stayed just below it and she didn’t work out another chance. “I think I should have climbed the number one,” she complained after the race.
In the second boulder, she repeatedly failed in a dynamic jump when she failed to hold on to large round holds.
She scored on the third trip for the first time. On the second attempt, she entered the zone, but then her leg slipped and she fell. She didn’t get into the same passage again. In the end, she got a taste when she could first enjoy fighting the final boulder.
“I’m very happy about that. Those were such bad catches and I had such bad skin that I really don’t understand how I kept it,” the twenty-year-old Czech national team member shook her head.
The two finalists did not reach the top even once, so they won sixth place with a successful conclusion.
“I am extremely satisfied or not extremely satisfied, but this is my best result in bouldering,” added the climber, who won the World Cup climbing in difficulty last year.
She started bouldering intensively with the vision of the Olympic Games in Paris, where there will be a combination of difficulty and bouldering.
