The World Championships have wrapped with some mediocre personal results I’m not pleased with, but my feelings about my 💩 week are currently being edged out by my genuine excitement for my teammates who are advancing to the Combined Olympic Qualification! Their results from the last week have put them in the top 20 overall ranking, and now they get to compete to try to claim their spots as OLYMPIANS! I’m gonna scream my guts out for you guys. @nathaniel.coleman @drewruana @brookeclimbs 👏👏👍🏆🇺🇸 pics @breezy0811 @usaclimbing @teamusa #Tokyo2020
Sometimes you do everything right leading up to an event, and the competition comes and things just don’t play in your favor. Just a couple small mistakes has left me out of bouldering semi-finals at the World Championships. This is frustrating, because it wasn’t strength or skill—I know I’m the strongest I’ve ever been, and I know I’m good enough. Some errors were strategy, some racing the clock. With this event being the first avenue for Olympic qualification, I put most of my eggs into the bouldering basket, as it’s the discipline I’m the strongest in. Not advancing to semi-finals in my specialty is gutting, but that’s how it goes; sometimes a round suits you, sometimes it doesn’t. Dwelling doesn’t get anyone anywhere. I know there are two more disciplines to focus on in the week to come. Ain’t over til it’s over, eh? Pics by BAE @breezy0811
Climbing World Championships start tomorrow! Hands and fingers have been tingling all week. At the end of the next ten days of competition we will know climbing’s first Olympians. Bouldering qualifiers are first. A lot has gone into preparation for this event for me and a lot of people have been involved in the process. I’ll try my hardest, fam. Thank you to @dbouldering_hachioji and Hachioji City for hosting the US Team! @usaclimbing • #climbing #rockclimbing #bouldering #sportclimbing #sportclimbing2020 #tokyo2020 #TeamUSA
Team America in Tokyo 🇺🇸🇯🇵
Every time I think about climbing lately my hands start to tingle... I can’t decide if I like it or not. It’s pretty weird. Anyone else??
