About: The only climber in history to sweep a Bouldering Work Cup season, and to win 13 World Titles ( 7 World Cup Series and 6 World Championships ). Janja Garnbret has recently qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
Janja Garnbret made history in Vail, Colorado by becoming the first person to sweep the entire World Cup Bouldering series. Nobody had done that before. Until now.
After the boulder problem #3, where Janja landed awkwardly on her left shoulder on her first attempt, there was much speculation as to whether she could do the final problem. Until she walked out and flashed it in her typical Janja style.
No doubt, all eyes will be on Garnbert in the upcoming World Cup Lead series, scheduled to kick off during the July 4th holiday weekend in Villars, Switzerland. If she can repeat her performance on the lead wall, she will undoubtedly be the woman to beat in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
“I hope to continue this way. It was my motivation to win every competition. This has been a lifetime goal!"
