Margo Hayes in the semi-finals yesterday. It was a real joy to watch her strong performance which sadly wasn’t enough for finals. But the competition has just started and there are still medals to win in bouldering and speed. 💪🏻 #innsbruck2018 #climbingworldchampionships #climbing #compclimbing #competitionclimbing #innsbruck #ifsc #ifscwch #kletterwminnsbruck2018 #leadclimbing

After the Asian games, I was sick and felt like my whole body was too exhausted. So I wasn’t sure if I would climb well in the World Championship as much as I was hoping for. Because of that, I got super nervous in the qualification and semi. However, I was able to smile as I topped the semifinal route and made it to the final! ☺️ It was particularly meaningful because I went to the final seven times consecutively in World Championships since 2007😍 – During the final, I felt more comfortable and fresh until I fell. Even though I couldn’t get to the top because I misread the movement and my foot slipped, I was really happy that I made it to the podium!! Congrats to @jessy_pilz for her brilliant winning in her home ground and @janja_garnbret who killed the route. 💪🏼❤️ – I have been competing for so many years, and sometimes I can’t believe that I am one of the oldest climbers here 😂, but I am really glad that I am still able to climb and compete in the World Championship.🌟 Thank you all, thank you for everything…💖 – #스파이더 @spyder_korea #spyderlimitless #LG전자 @lgelectronics_kr #redbull @redbull #givesyouwings #lasportiva @lasportivagram #discoveryclimbinghold @discovery_icn #하늘병원 #하늘스포츠의학크리닉
