There are two things I was the most afraid about before I started dedicating myself 100% to the competitions and the olympic dream last winter. First one is that I would be too tempted to go rockclimbing instead of staying in the gym and climbing on plastic holds. Second one is that I would hate training speed. I am dealing all right with both problems. It has been fun so far. I have stayed absolutely motivated . Now, there is the first real test ahead of me. I am on my way to Japan and between August 11-21, there be World Championships, which is the first option to get qualified for the Olympics. Top 7 from combined is qualified for the OG.
