Also the smartest. She finds a solution that is unique to herself

back in the days when I started climbing, which is now 43 years ago, we trained years to build up muscles, and of course the fingers strength and grip. The top guys at those times had been incredible powerful, athletic bodies (like the German Wolfgang Güllich who free soloed as the first human ever 'Seperate Reality,' or Heinz Zack, or even the first woman famous in the climbing scene Lynn Hill, etc...) Seeing now this tiny real slim girl, near half a century later, which if you look at here you may think she's just a young schoolgirl, no muscular body, but she climbed like something I never had seen ahead of watching her. Like a spider and very intelligently solves all these riddles, it looks so effortless, so easy and unreal - I am speechless and in deep awe. If you know how incredible hard it is to hold on this tiny holds in an incredible overhanging wall, and denies gravity then you realize she is something special. Ai Mori is not from this world, I never seen somebody like her. What an amazing climber.

One thing she has going for herself is that she probably only weighs half of the athletes you listed. After all, it is also about efficiency, especially in lead climbing, not only about maximum strength. But building any meaningful level of strength, let alone this insane body tension at that weight is crazy.

Love her style of climbing. Slow, methodical, purposeful. It’s very zen. Almost respectful? She doesn’t do many dynamic power moves, preferring static moves. Her style is not showy or ostentatious but it works. And she garners respect because it’s just so different. I think because she’s not out there doing big power moves, the likelihood of injury is further reduced. It’s careful, intelligent climbing that promotes longevity in the sport. Her persona is the same on the wall as it is off the wall. Calm, focused and resolute. Looking forward to seeing her climb for a long time.

The control and mobility is insane. I think it is the combination of being short and strong in the whole chain. And she also has great technique, too! She moves so quickly and with perfect precision through some powerful stuff. An then she slowly breaks down difficult moves into something manageable with creative body positioning.

Ai Mori sometimes trains in the gym where I usually climb here in Tokyo, and I've never seen anyone more focused on the work ahead of them than her.

34:18 this segment is crazy. not only does she not stop for a second after she secures gold, she just starts zooming up. 35:02 is also great. She's just staring up like "why didn't I get that hold? I am more than capable enough of getting that"

36:37 Ai Mori doesn't seem amused that she gets only three teapots after all that effort to win first place. 😂

4:31 is the best moment🤣 You can see how three people from three different continents say "wow" in three different ways.

What a great demonstration of climbing to one's strengths. She doesn't need to be tall and beefy because she knows how to take advantage of being small, light, and flexible. Her focus and familiarity with her body is so impressive. You can see her really taking the time to be comfortable with every move, with no problems smearing out super wide or hanging off of difficult holds in ways that would pull heavier athletes right off. There's also these impossible looking dynamic moves for one of her stature, but she has less weight to secure when sticking the hold and she makes them from positions of such stability that her appearance of "floating around" clearly comes from knowing how her own body climbs best. Can't wait to see her get even better.

After that she's didn't participate in any IFSC event so I think she quit or busy with real life. Seems she's training really hard to fixed her weakness. When she's back I'm surprised that her weakness already gone even she's so good in lead too to beat janja twice. WOW

You can see it etched on her face she didn't do it for the win she did it because of the challenge. The shear creativeness and flexibility she showed scaling those leads and boulders. She is just an absolute juggernaut.

Amazing Athlete! Love to see small women on top!

Wee done! I've always loved the Japanese anthem.

Ai Mori just hanging onto everything and climbing onto all those boulders like she's floating while I'm already shaking while climbing on a ladder to reach for something

Ai has weight advantage and reach disadvantage, but brain is her biggest talent. Gravity looks her friend on the wall.
