What a show! Thanks to all of you for making such a great atmosphere in such a cool place. So much effort from so many people to make this awesome event happen. Also, huge congratulations to all medalists! Double gold of Annie Sanders and extra-ordinary performance of Indonesian climber Putra Tri Ramadani was just incredible to witness, one of the most jaw-dropping things I have ever seen in climbing.

It was a real pleasure to climb in every round. This central court here at Štvanice was originally built for tennis and climbing. It’s one of the best venues I’ve ever climbed at. The final route was maybe not so enjoyable, it was hard with some tricky moves, but I’m still happy with how I climbed and 5th place is just great.

World-class climbing will return to the Czechia
next year again, cause we will be hosting the World Championships in my beloved Brno for the first time ever.
