Sport Climbing Mori Combined World Cup 19-year-old women win | NHK | Sport Climbing

19-year-old college student who won the climbing sport and combined World Cups, Akisai Mori, won three consecutive World Cups this year, following Reed Hmm’s two consecutive World Cup victories.

In the background, there was efficient exercise to balance with academics and a strong mental strength to keep pushing himself.

Mori has a small body of 1 meter 54 centimeters, and is good in leading events that require endurance in climbs that make use of his high flexibility and finger strength.

This year, Reid took part in the World Cup for the first time in three years, and won the World Cup for the first time by defeating Janja Gambret of Slovenia, a gold medalist at the Tokyo Olympics and also known as the “absolute queen”. It immediately caught my attention.

Mori, who entered college this spring, practices while balancing her studies, and when she has many classes, she is limited to about two hours of practice time.

However, I have been aware of efficient practice, saying, “I can focus on practice even if it’s for a short time.

In addition, he has a “I like to push myself by nature” personality, so he worked hard on training to squeeze strength out of a tired state, such as repeating difficult tasks and increasing the load i’ve been there. ,” analyzing the background of the good results.

This time, in the combined competition of two events that I challenged for the first time, I was the only one who climbed to the end of the qualifying and semi-final rounds with my good leadership and continued to stand at the top.

Even in the final, when he climbed all four challenges from a mold and gained momentum, he climbed close to the top even in the lead, and he’s good at that, and he got a high score .I got to the top of the cup first.

At the Tokyo Olympics, due to a difference of interpretation between Japan and international sports organizations over the selection criteria for the national team, the selection race ended halfway through and Mori missed out on the national team.

Looking ahead to the Olympic Games in Paris two years from now, I will face it calmly, saying, “While enjoying climbing, I see it as one of the events. I want to work hard without concentration only on the Olympics.”

“At the moment, I’m enjoying the anticipation. Next year, I’ll be able to take part in the competition as long as it doesn’t interfere with my university, and gradually approach Paris,” said the girl 19 years old. It will be interesting to see how it goes.
