LEGENDS ON DISPLAY IN INNSBRUCK AS CURTAINS CLOSE AFTER LEAD FINALS
Jakob Schubert and Janja Garnbret claimed gold in the two finals that closed a spectacular five-day event in Innsbruck.
Five days of top-class climbing ended at the legendary Kletterzentrum in Innsbruck, Austria, in front of the fourth consecutive 3,000-people sold-out crowd, as Austria’s Jakob Schubert and Slovenia’s Janja Garnbret updated their impressive medal tally.
Opening the show was home favourite Schubert, who climbed last in the men’s Lead final, and despite not clipping the highest quickdraw, still finished with a best score of 49+ and claimed his 21st World Cup gold in the Lead discipline.
Schubert said: “Climbing here at home is always different, it’s always special, and this route today was exceptionally special because it was such a crazy fight from halfway up. Every move I felt like I was going to fall. I might have not been the best climber on the route tonight, but I was the best fighter, and that’s what brought me to victory. And it was also only possible because of the crowd.
“I’m always really focused and don’t hear too much while I climb, I would say. I wouldn’t recognise which song was playing, but it was crazy loud when I made that move and I immediately knew that that was probably the victory. From there I felt like I could almost enjoy it… I mean, not really, because I was way too pumped.”
