【Road to Paris🇫🇷】World ChampionShips in Bern🇨🇭 

Hearing them talk about other climbers was adorable. "Mika's so cool! Jakob's a stamina beast! Janja is not human (and therefore Ai is an alien)" 😂 It's like how me and my friends talk about the world cups!

For me the most interesting thing about the video was them so openly talking about how unfair they think the system is for Boulder specialists. Sometimes ppl prefer to avoid it as It seems they are being unhealthy, but these topics are necessary, specially when the sport has just started in the Olympics and the system may evolve into something better and more fair next years. Ofc, if they give a medal to each discipline alone, problem solved.

I'd love to see you guys make an episode with Ai and Sorato

I feel like this is a good setup for Ai training boulder and coordination with Tomoa and Tomoa training lead with Ai! They are both so strong! Also, congratulations on qualifying, I'm looking forwards to see the Olympics next year! And good luck to those who are still trying to qualify!

智亜をまたオリンピックで見れるのは最高

The combined finals was one the best sport events I've ever watched, to me it feel like a movie for the nail-biting moments and drama. Tomoa winning his Olympic ticket and then his and Akiyo hug that made everybody tear up, myself included, was just amazing! Wishing luckt to Meichi and Ikedai, gambatte guys!

Congratulations to Tomoa! Good luck in upcoming qualifiers Meichi & Ikedai! Thank you for the interview and your insight on the world championships!

Thanks for sharing your honest opinions and insight about the competition and the combined format. Can't wait when there will be separate lead and bouldering disciplines in the Olympics. That top match of the final boulder 1 from Tomoa was so smart and impressive I was cheering so loud when watching live. Congrats to winning the ticket. Best luck to Meichi and Ikedai.

Congratulations to Tomoa for making it! Such a nail-biting finals - I believe many of us felt the same, that the boulder final round was too easy and failed to sufficiently differentiate the competitors. It could have felt discouraging to top all boulders and still not have a good chance of winning the Combined. Full credit to Tomoa for giving his best on the lead route and having the endurance to secure the Olympic ticket! Thanks to Tomoa, Meichi and Ikedai for this insightful and honest video! Continue to push forward as many of us are supporting you from around the world :)

コンバインド決勝にいました。本当にすごかった。おめでとうございます！智亜さんは一番好きな男子クライマーなので、勝ちを直々に見たのはめっちゃいい経験でした。オリンピックもガンバ！（日本語はまだ下手ですみません！）

It's so nice to hear such frank & unfiltered conversations that truly gives us real insights into the elite athlete's world - which comes across as fairly normal (but just people with superhuman mental & physical capabilities). Yes, please bring on Ai-chan!

I was so stoked when I saw that you qualified for the Olympics again. I'm excited to cheer on Meichi & Ikedai!

I admire Tomoa's determination and dedication to win above all his strength, performance, or anything else. And I see that's the point splitting athletes at competition sometimes. Maybe it was in the World Championship this time, as a lot of experienced athletes have gotten tickets to Olympics. Thank you Tomoa, and it's such grateful that we can watch you climb.

Can you do an interview with Ai-chan too? Would love to hear her walk through what she was thinking when she fell off the lead route; she made the Olympics but was still thinking about the top!

if Tomoa and Kim Jain were to do a crossover and learn from each other from their different disciplines i think that would be INSANE

Loved watching the comps, congrats on the ticket to Paris, I was so psyched for both you and Ai when the results were announced! Please do a livestream with her, absolutely loved the last y’all did, it was so fun.

字幕があってよかったです。ありがとうございます！いつか完璧に理解出来まで映像みないと😊

Thank you for sharing your insights on the combined system and on the points system. It was super interesting! 複合システムとポイント システムについてご意見をお寄せいただきありがとうございます。 超面白かったです！

Can you guys do another Ai Mori versus Tomoa challenge episode ( Japan Ace Battle part 2) ?

Congratulations to Tomoa Narasaki !

Congratulations again for qualifying for the Olympics, Tomoa! Gamba Meichi and Ikedai for the rest of the tournaments. I would like to learn how to get stronger at lead climbing, if you (or Ai-chan!) are willing to share some advice!

Was waiting for this so long! Thank you. Congratulations to Tomoa 🎉 i had the chance to see this spectacular 'ore' moment live in Bern😊 totally agree with the unfairness of score calculations. Despite that, wish you all 3 all the best!

Congrats on qualifying for your second Olympics, Tomoa! Good luck with the training and we will all cheer for you then!

久しぶりの動画嬉しい🥰🥰おつかれさまでしたー！宙斗もこのチャンネルに出てほしいなあ😊

Congradulations Tomoa, you are my favorite climber! Very cool to see you in more personnal context in this youtube channel, in competitions you have a more 'game face' :p. And your tips videos are very nice too.

Awesome job Tomoa! Keep the faith alive you two and keep training. You can get your tickets too! 😊 Get psyched! 💪

Really appreciate you being so honest about your feelings on the B&L format. I felt that the boulder specialists have a bit of an advantage over the lead specialists because commonly the boulder rounds are tough on the pure lead guys (e.g. Gines-Lopez, Potocar, Grüpper, Rogora, Tanii) whereas the boulder specialists usually at least get something in the lead. Obviously the all-rounders have a massive advantage in the B&L: Janja, Duffy, Sorato, and Roberts should crush. Will be great to get more data at the B&L series next year! Just wanted to add that Tomoa performed so well under pressure and when tired in the Bern B&L final and he was deservedly rewarded for that, so looking forward to seeing you climb in Paris!

Congrats Tomoa!!!! It was an incredible moment

All the best in the Olympics Tomoa! You are my favourite climber. A lot of fans in Singapore are cheering you on!

Congrats Tomoa!!!

本当におめでとうございます！ パリオリンピック楽しみにしています！

please make more tutorial videos on advanced competition climbs or even dynos / coordination moves :) great video as always and congrats Tomoa on qualifying!!🎉

Love the Adam Ondra poster in the background

video of ai and tomoa training lead and boulder together?

Exactly. The scoring is still biased towards lead climbers.

Congrats Tomoa. The captions were very helpful too. Please invite Ai!

Congratulations on qualifying, Tomoa! Ganba Meichi and Ikedai!!! 💪💪💪 I feel like in the World Championships B&L, experience really showed ❤ cheering you on for the Olympics! 🎉

お二人ともお疲れ様でした！！ そして智亜さんおめでとうございます！！🎉

It's good to have the some insights about the new Olympic method from the athletes and it does sounds like the bouldering part is not that balance compared to lead. Anyways, please invite Sorato into one of your next videos soon!

Welcome back🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 please upload more videos❤

おめでとうございます🎊㊗️ オリンピック楽しみにしてます‼️

Please invite Ai again! ❤

本当におめでとうございます！ 応援しています。

Congrarulations Tomoa!!! Can't wait to see you compete in the Olympics 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Congrats Tomoa, and good luck Meichi & Ikedai! I always really enjoy watching you in competitions and was thrilled to see the great results. I'm always curious, is there any interest in any hard outdoor projects, perhaps after competition season/olympics is over?

Congratulations Tomoa! Much though it would be nice to see all of TAMY (without the A) go to Olympics… I can’t help but root for Sorato. He’s been so dominant this season, feels like he deserves that ticket.

Really nice insight in your world of climbing and championships. The analytics, calculations, moves, mistakes and also how you look at speed climbing and how it is different from B/L, how you analyse your colleagues and praise them. Also 👏🥰 the respect you show for Janja and Ai, aka "the non human " and "alien" respectively 😂🥰- in a very respectful way . Working and training together = cooperation and competition going hand in hand and always a winning formulae - as can also be seen in other disciplines. Certainly when it comes to the Olympics, as you are all working towards a common goal. Thank you for this video and wishing you all loads of success in all competitions to come. 👏👏👏💪💪💪Lastly .... "Handle success like you handle failure. You can’t control what happens, but you can control how you react to it" .... cannot remember who said that but to me that is the essence in/of all sports.

It was good to hear the players' complaints about the assignment. I guess you're right. Even if the L & B rules can't be helped, the challenges should be improved.

Loved hearing your thoughts about how combined is structured. Question: we saw in the boulder routesetting one of the problems that was similar to what had previously been done in Hachioji where no one topped it. How often do you go back and try and recreate "untoppable" problems so you can learn the beta? And also, as you often see boulders vary a lot depending on style/country of routesetting, do you think variation in training by going to different places is an essential thing to do?

Good luck Meichi and Ikedai !!! がんばれ

チケット🇫🇷3枚揃うの楽しみですね!!

Tomoa's face at 18:04 is so meme worthy LOL

good luck tomoa 😊

Thank you for the subtitles❤

Congrats on going to the olympics! ❤🎉

Congratulations Tomoa!!! Well deserved!! Really happy to see you get a chance to get gold in the olympics 🏅 . Good luck to Meichi and Ikedai in their qualifiers too! Would love to see the three of you in the Olympics. That would be insane!! Question in case Ai gets interviewed: would she be pausing university studies from now until Paris 2024 given that this is for some a once in a lifetime event? Question for Tomoa: as a second time Olympian, do you have regrets in the last Olympics that you feel like you definitely have to address this time to get a medal?

congratulations tomoa!!! 😁 how do you all manage to keep your cool during high pressure events?

The competition is indeed very intensive for Japanese athletes! Hope you all go to Olympic.

トモくん！ オリンピック内定おめでとう㊗️ 明智くんも、お疲れ様！

しかし、まぁなんで日本がクライミングこんなに層が厚いんだろう

If combined competitions are unfair to boulderers do you guys plan to focus more on lead? Congrats Tomoa! good luck to Meichi and Ikedai. Hope to watch you in the olympics!!! (you guys are my heroes!)

🗽 Good job Tomoa... greetings from Austria. 🍺 .

Did Meichi call Jakob as "sensei"? Congrats to Tomoa anyway

ボルダ終わった時は厳しいと思いましたが、よく内定を勝ち取ったと思います。 おめでとうございます。 明智選手、いけだい選手も厳しい道のりですが頑張って下さい。

おめでとう～

Congrats!

話を聞けば聞くほど、日本はボルダーもリードもトップクライマーが揃っている国なんですねー

楢崎智亜選手オリンピック内定おめでとうございます！ 明智選手も池大選手もがんばって下さい！ 息子は今小6でボルダーしかやっていません。ボルダーメインの子がリードをするメリットをお聞きしたいです。逆にデメリットもあればお聞きしたいです。

👏👏👏👏

We desperately need seperate events for all 3 climbing disciplines.

:) go Tomoa!!!!

not true that there is no other country that have internal fights for olympic spots. For Tokyo Olympics Yannick could have qualified, but Alex and Jan won their tickets early, so it didnt make sense for Yannick to keep on trying. I think the US had a similar problem, too. Overall the competition isnt as strong as within Japan tho, thats true, the competitiveness there is on another level.

Took a long time before an upload but we'll take it.

㊗(ˊ͈ ‪꒳ ˋ͈ﾉﾉᒼᑋª ᒼᑋª ᒼᑋª コンバインドはボルダー易しめ、リード難しめという逆風設定に思いましたけど、持ってるなあと思いました。 誰かに勝たせるみたいなセットを作るのってRU-vidとかだと面白そうですけど、競技的にはきついですよね〜

I watched Bern championship during my midterm exams week.. It was a nice break from hours of studying. Congratulations team JAPAN! 🇯🇵 応援しています！(*'▽'*)♪

Anyone else noticed right after Sorato fell early, Tomoa went to all his competitors but purposely avoided Sorato? Even after Sorato untied himself, you can see Tomoa dodge him. Every Instagram post related to the Bern WC after purposely avoided mentioning Sorato. Really bad sportsmanship from Tomoa 👎Even the winner, Jakob, said that Sorato is currently the best comp climber and mentioned this in his OWN post-win interview. So why not Tomoa? Is he embarrassed of lucking out when everyone knew Sorato should have won? For those who don't know, Tomoa was sitting on 3rd place right before his teammate Sorato was about to climb. Sorato has had a REALLY, REALLY good year (think of early days Janja, but for men). Everyone expected him to win the combined, but he made an unfortunate mistake -- very unlike him. This bumped Tomoa, who was supposed to be in 4th place suddenly into 3rd, and thus receiving an Olympic ticket.

Congrats Tomoa!!
