Hear from the athletes at the Lead and Speed competitions head at Peninsula Island, Bali - Indonesia.
MEN'S LEAD QUALIFICATION
YOSHIDA Satone (JPN)
“I’m happy I could send the second route, but it was scolding hot, Japan is hot, but here it is very humid, and I was struggling with the temperature.”
“It’s very nice here. It’s the first time we’ve had an event in like a resort so I’m excited for the competition and it is definitely a place you can relax, and I like that atmosphere.”
“I’m ready for the semi-final and final, it’s all part of the road to being a World Cup champion.”
WOMEN'S LEAD QUALIFICATION
Rosa REKAR (SLO)
“I really enjoyed the qualification. The first route I think I could have done a bit better, but the second I gave it a good fight. I’m excited for semi-finals.”
“I feel a bit better than Wujiang, but it is different because it is so hot and humid here. We did a training session here in Bali before to try and get used to the conditions, but it’s still difficult. It’s a really nice place here with the water so close to the wall, but the most important thing is to focus on the competition and then enjoy everything when we are finished.”
