wtf is this water in my eyes?

Almost cried with the crowd cheering after the send

Been there in the crowd. From the moment she reached the upper left part of the boulder the atmosphere was just insane. She treated the crowd with super fun moves, figure 4, transition into a kneebar and a heroic top. Somehow she managed to make the crowd go wild. Super nice effort.

Thanks so much Geek Climber! I'll be making some update videos once world cup season starts and hopefully keep you and everyone updated on competition climbers!

I love this series! Beta breaking is so fun, but understandably a bit controversial in competition climbing sometimes. I'm especially happy that you've chosen to feature female climbers every other episode of this series. I hope you continue doing that!

Thanks Maia! It's really important to me that I cover female climbers too as some of my favorite historic moments (like this one) were done by female climbers. Thanks for noticing and I'll 100% be trying to keep up that trend!

Didn't expect Beta Break to make me tear up... Excellent video, I especially appreciate the inclusion of the demonstrations at the beginning

I am not a climber and stumbled on Mia because of KZread algorithm. But. Standing ovation - count me in. Heroic effort.

I remember watching Mia suffering through the knee injury at the time and doing this problem during the comp, but I didn't understand the type of move she was doing at the time. Thanks for the video which makes it clear what a figure 4 is! Since watching this video earlier today, I went to my bouldering gym and practiced the move. Keep up the great videos.

No way! That's awesome! It's a really weird move to try out at first, but once you execute it - it feels SO cool. Keep crushing!

Was at the qualifiers of that event, and watched the live stream of the final. Super impressive performance! That season was mostly Janja's, but even though she won, Munich belonged to Mia that day.

I don't usually watch competition climbing, or any competition sport really. But for some reason I had the live stream on in the background and decided to watch Mia's climb. I got so scared when she got onto those cheeseblocks and then so psyched when she suddenly threw in that figure 4 AND THEN the kneebar! That was the first and only time I've ever yelled at televised sport.

I don't usually see myself as being very patriotic, but I can't help but feel 2 things: "Well done, Mia!" and "Slovenia is relevant" I don't think I am able to appreciate how much effort she put into that climb, some of those holds look impossible for us mere mortals.

Wow, please, PLEASE keep this series going. It's incredible.

Ugh. Your videos are so amazing. Just started climbing about a month ago, and your stuff is so inspiring.

Gotta love the support from the climbing community, even during such a big competition

so im not the only one crying like a baby here, what a master climber, this is going to be history

Why did I actually cry? This was so intense :'D

God, the vibes are always so good at climbing comps, this lade me tear up a bit. I don't know any other sport where everyone genuinely roots for everyone including opponents.

Truly heroic

Here we call it "yaniro". It's a quite usefull move. It's born on the climbing world and later widely used in ice vlimbing when the ice peak start to change shape. This name is from the legend Tony Yaniro and some amazing pics of him using this strange move in the years when climbing was a new discovery.

favorite comment of my life

Not to steal from the magic of this moment in IFSC history, but I don't believe the setters in this specific case were trying to "force" any beta for the 2nd half of the boulder. Manu and Laurent have both said many times that they like leaving boulders open to interpretation so that the athletes can express themselves through their climbing. I think this was a really special circumstance where Mia got to do that due to the limitations of her injury (and maybe she would have climbed it this way uninjured as well). Either way, super controlled and calm climbing from her the whole way through and she definitely deserved to be in finals for her performance that day.

And the one boulder she didn't top was the first one. After that, it looked like it was probably a mistake to compete. I stand corrected. Well, I don't know if aggravating the injury was worth it, but taking third was rather surprising.

I just happened to watch that competition yesterday. juicing the horrendous cheese blocks with a limp

I wonder what the injury was, and how it's healed since then. Obviously it was heroic, but sometimes decisions like that can cost you a career. That being said if she's qualified for the olympics, I'm sure it's not too bad

6:09 Janja: Keep crushing, Mia.
