My favorite breakout climber of this year, Oriane Bertone, has won her first gold medal in a Boulder World Cup. Notably, she won her first gold medal while up against Janja Garnbret, who is widely considered to be the greatest women climber of all time (she took silver in this competition). Truly a notable achievement!

On the Men’s side of the tournament, Prague was Adam Ondra’s first tournament of the year. Adam is the greatest sport climber of all time, being the first person in the world to ascend a sport route with a grade of 9c, which as of today remains unrepeated. Adam had been focused on finding first ascents of outdoor routes, but is returning to competitions to prepare for the Olympics where he hopes to bring home a gold medal.
