We travel to Janja's hometown in Slovenia to try and learn her secrets, and paint an intimate portrait of this young champion as she tries to make history by sweeping an entire season of bouldering World Cups. - Sport
She somehow manages to be humble and “yeah I know I’m the best” at the same time. Cant help but love her
Some people not doing competition might be better than her
After the olympic competition she was asked by national tv reporter: Who is the best female climber in the world. And she had no other option than saying: I am, followed by a laugh
@@skyj451 Well the video made it really clear, that she is the best competition climber. It know can be debated what to define as the best overall climber, but she is obviusoly not the best rock climber as far as we know now.
@@skyj451 Thats why i think its easier to call Adam Ondra the best overall, since he is one of the best in competition and rock climbing.
It would be dumb to try and deny it. Shes simply the best. 😄
I love her parent's teamwork. When mom talks and asks "right?", dad just agrees 😅😁
The pre-Olympic meme was that Janja just comes out and flashes all the boulder problems. Then she did exactly that today in qualifying. It was remarkable
Yep. Just extraordinary to watch. Route setters must be scratching their heads as to how to set a problem she can't flash without making it impossible for the other climbers.
Sad she gave up on B3 in the finals. She didn’t need it for the win, but would have been great to top every Olympic boulder.
Still, way to go, Janja! Incredible, and well deserved. 🥇
@@BenBjork I don't think she had the time for it with 39 seconds left :( amazing attempts though. She's leagues ahead of everyone else
@@EntirelyPointlessContent Yeah, prob true. Maybe I was just too hype in the moment. Before the final attempt it seemed like she’d already decided to conserve energy for Lead after. Idk, just silly armchair commentary. Don’t mean to take anything away from her performance.
@@commanderofkesariyaknights Couldn’t agree more. It’s a real travesty to see that they’ve added an event combining physical strength and stamina with dedication and determination to the Olympic Games, which famously involve none of the above. How can it even be considered a sport if it’s not on a track or a field amirite? And might I add that you’ve contributed some very relevant and timely racial commentary about white men to a discussion of a women’s competition featuring a two-thirds non-white podium. Gtfo with this nonsense.
And now she is and will always be the first ever Olympic champion. Legend.
There is no way anyone loves climbing and doesnt love her. She is just the most fun to watch out of any climbers out there men or women. Fantastic embassador of our sport.
she's the reason i got back into climbing, just watching her at a tournament was a joy.
I honestly don't particularly enjoy watching her, especially lately. She always goes for the quickest, most obvious beta, which she can afford to do because she's strong, but doesn't necessarily make it interesting to watch. I prefer to see people read the problems and find a beta that suits them, not just jump to the top.
@@nadezhdaivanova6822 🧗♀️🇸🇮🥇🧗♀️🇸🇮
@@nadezhdaivanova6822 Isn't the quickest, most obvious beta of 'jumping to the top' just Janja figuring out the beta that suits her? It's only because she's the best and the strongest that that beta suits her. You've been defeated by your own 'logic' there. I also can't understand how you can watch her climb and not enjoy it. Sure, other climbers' beta is more interesting, but hers is breathtaking. I find watching Laura and Brooke interesting. Janja makes my jaw hit the floor.
@@samshorto5433 Ohhh yes, Brooke at the Boulder today was really amazing, how she tried literally everything. But the ease of Janja and also on the other hand her will to win are just really amazing ot look at
Watching Janja Garnbret climb is kind of like watching Michael Jordan play basketball or Leo Messi play football. You just know that every single time that they touch the ball, something amazing is going to happen. Janja does the same for rock climbing; makes the impossible happen every time she gets on the wall. Greatness personified. Congratulations Janja on an Olympic Gold Medal!!
well said!
Janja officially won the gold in the olympics. She's so tough!! I love her..
She's just on different level
Slovenian sport goes up. Nice people and nice country. Congratulation from France.
We don't like yall french people, just because of basketball :)
She just flashed all four olympic qualifier boulders, she is the boulder queen!
Absolute machine!
After the second flash I wasn’t wondering if she was gonna top the problem, but if she was gonna flash or not.
Pretty poor lead performance for her though not that it matters :p
I didn’t think the lead route was that good though. So many slopes and bad pinches when it’s so humid.
@@xalingding I feel like the odds are stacked against strong lead climbers in the Olympics. The conditions are insanely humid, wich is most problematic for lead, and the wall is kinda short and very powerful and is the last dicipline they do. To me both lead routes so far where kinda disappointing in the way they where set.
Janja's style is getting gold.
care to elaborate?
janjas style got gold
To me, the obvious question for Janja and her coach is, "How does she train at that intensity without getting injured?"
where so many people focus on static strength, janja EXCELS in being dynamic. her flow is so smooth and controlled yet so powerful and precise at the same time. amazing.
It was fun to watch Janja completely dominate and the Danish commentator wondering aloud if she would be allowed to compete against the men some day as an exhibition type event, just to see how she would stack up because she has nothing left to prove in the women's category. Would be truly amazing to see how she'd do on the men's boulder problems.
I honestly think she would have won the men's gold too if she had been allowed to compete with them
There was a world cup in China in which one boulder was in common for both men and women. Don't know if Janja competed but I know Alex Puccio did
@@cheetahslims7849 probably wont win, but will be placed really high.. top 4/5 in lead and maybe a top 3 in boulder
@@cheetahslims7849 That is literally a retarded statement.
@@cod-the-creator lol so eloquent
so glad to be alive in the time when Janja makes sport climbing history.. Congrats to the Olympic medal, there is no one who deserved it more.
SHES SO AMAZING! her technique, her strength all balances out and makes her such a amazing climber. i love her so much.
I'm a bit embarrassed being from Slovenia not very far from where she lives and not even knowing how good she really was O.o I mean I knew she was really good, I've seen a video of her win and everyone praising her, but I honestly did not understand she was that good. I'm amazed. RESPECT. There is somewhat of a tradition over here. Lots of people love to climb all sorts of styles.
“For me, having fun is recipe for success.” Very well said.
She told us the secret - having fun is the recipe to success!
She is so cool. I am sure she will deliver on Olympics. Go Janja!!
You were right, she did amazing!
@@joshuaplatko949 yes she is really something else
She flashed all four Olympic boulder qualifiers!!
watching this right after she's won GOLD!!!!!!
She is literally the GOAT.
And now she is an Olympic champion. Totally deserved
“I am talent, but talent is not enough”
talent + hard work + FUN = genius level, legendary skill. i love the reply to question ""when will you retire"?" - when i stop having fun. I believe that is the secret.
"poetry in motion" well said by the commentator
"I was not scared to dream big"
inspirational
- "What's Jania's weakness?".
- Kryptonite.
So proud of her 🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮
She is outstanding! I'd like to have 10% of her talent.
@Michael Phillips… Yeah, good point!
Such an outstanding and stunning athlete - she has written history and will write a lot more further on, I wish her to win gold at Tokyo and if not there she will in Paris. Janja you are one of my favorite athletes in the climbing scene and even tough that I don't have this flexibility and will never have you are one of my idols! Keep on rocking, I hope you will have a lot of fun and won't retire in the next 10 years.
love Janja's unique style!!
I love the flair on her jumps.
Congrats Janja!!!!!! You’re amazing!! GOAT!
I love her, I wish her the best.
Wow, her style is something else. Powerful and flowy, amazing.
Great wee film and she seems like a great, happy person and an amazing athlete, all the very best to her x
Bravo Janja!!!❤️ I was in absolute awe watching your performance. Congratulations 👏👏👏
One word. GOAT!!
I can’t even put in to words how legendary this women is!! I can’t imagine her grip strength honestly
She makes it look so easy! So cool to watch.
I have never in my life watched or practiced climbing but watched the entire video and was amazed at her!! Incredible
I don't know how I fell on climbing videos but it's really amazing to watch. Janja is amazing to watch for sure, you go girl!
lol these Janja's parents...
-Right?
***2 second silence***
-Right.
I hope Janja wins olympic today! Go for gold!
She is awesome and very strong 🧗♀️💪🏾
Others are working hard others also have talent endurance strenght coodination etc but she just somehow got that extra bit of skill noone else is able to achieve its fascinating
BRAVO JANJA! Congrats!
Resume: she was good naturally, then she worked hard AF 24/7 to be the best.
Yeahhhhhhh, SO great!
The Queen
she earned it! congratulations on gold!
Her attitude says it all. This drive to be the best and dream big, is found in all of the greatest Athletes.
Truly an inspiration 😄
The best of the best
Im just in love with her shes amazing
her face is so serious until the first question about her winning and she cracks up!
Great video, thank you for posting it :)
Incredible, person and achievement
Lovely work folks!
there is one word to describe her .... GOAT
Slovenia, seriously. Best world cup climber, 2 cyclists, 1 Tour de France champion the other also grand tour champion and Olympic gold time trial, basketball wunderkid.
'' starting to get the picture ha ''
I think Slovenia has the most gold medals per capita right now on the Olympics
I know an amazing lady who was an Olympic qualifier for track back in the 60's for Slovenia. She is in her 70s, biking 60-100km a day. She said sport is just part of her upbringing and culture, always has been, for both men and women.
thank you !
svaka čast, njen uspeh je navdih nasplošno za vse ne samo za plezanje.
Janja rocks!
Bravo, Janja!!! 🥇🇸🇮 You're an actual Spider-woman!
so young so legendary
And here is Slovenia again!
What a lovable character.
Amazing
I know nothing about climbing. Like, literally nothing at all. And even I am amazed by how graceful she looks while climbing. This is out of this world, really a once in a millenium athlete.
Yeah. Did you watch her in the Olympics? It was insane, like watching Federer or Michael Jackson or Gordon Ramsay in their prime.
Climbing the doorframe :) I did that also as a kid. Loved climbing ever since. Have not won any competitions though.
Awesome!!
Legend is born 🦾🦾
Slovenia ROCKS!! *my home country *
Janja is amazing. I'm proud of our country 😁

And now she has gold! 🇸🇮
her strength is at another level
I think she might well be the current best sportsperson in the world.
Janja explains it the best why she's the best: "Talent is not enough. You must be a hard worker." Talent, climbing sense, flexibility, those you can be born with. The power and endurance Janja has, those don't come easy. I still remember watching her debut lead comp against Kim Jain, thinking "there's no way this girl can go at the pace she's going with the kind of power output on a lead route". But she did.
There's no reason to believe some random comment on CZcams, but if someone really wants to identify Janja's weakness, it's that her efficiency and calmness on a lead route is still behind that of Kim Jain. Every fraction of a percentage of energy used matters on a lead route, cause that fraction of a percent could be the difference between topping out and falling off the penultimate hold.
Bravo Janja ti si naš ponos.💪💪🇸🇮
Superb!
living legend
Those who challenge are always beautiful and cool.👏👏
Janja is the most fun. Her flow on the wall is mesmerizing. Take this...
"Having fun is the recipe to success" 💟🌌☮️
Good on you Janja!
my queen
Watching this after she just did Bügeleisen sit start (8c) twice in a row!!! Absolutely amazing!
I wanna root for USA for the Olympics, but the amazing talent and skill of a lot of these other Olympians is drawing me away
She is the best
Back in the day climbing with Lynn Hill and Bobby Bensman at the Phoenix bouldering contest, lots of fun. I think I entered all of them
Who do you think will win the Olympic gold medal and why is it Janja?
Janja Garnbret, you are very spectacular. congrats
I first watched her on OI this year, and it was obvious from the beggining that she is something else..
Just finished watching the 2023 world championships and Janja Garnbret totally dominated the bouldering and bouldering and lead although shockingly she was edged out of
gold for the lead. And she has movie star looks. So much talent but there is more to it than that I suspect.
Yeah Ai Mori is her only real competition these days. I love watching them both climb, Janja is so impressive, but Ai gets up to weirder stuff on the wall to make up for her short stature, so she is a lot of fun to watch.
Savage Skills
Watch her red bull chimney video! She's rad
Townsfolk say Janja's incessant hyperactivity as a child, had her parents climbing the wall. Then Janja, just modelled herself after her parents.
Joking aside, Janja is a gift, of something within, and something beyond.
Great success..👍
wow!!
She’s so far above the rest it’s insane
