“I did not race at the top event in the Czech Republic for 13 years. It’s a holiday for me, I’m really looking forward to it and I hope there will be a stormy atmosphere. When there was such an event in the Czech Republic, it was always a wonderful atmosphere,“revealed Adam Ondra. And outlined his racing goals.
“I also hope to get to the finals because of the fans. After all, this is the most attractive for the audience. Bouldering is always a bit about luck, anything can happen there. But of course I’m thinking of the ultimate goal,“Admitted the sixth of last year’s Olympic Games.
But the European Cup is not the peak of the season for him. “The highlight for me will be the World Cup climbing in difficulty. In mid-August, the European Championships are in Munich, where all the disciplines willOndra described his other plans.
“I hope that this race will help climbing in the Czech Republic. But I think that climbing is far from a marginal sport, but it can be said that it is already mass. But competitive climbing doesn’t have the attention it deserves,“concluded the best Czech climber.
