Garnbret bags another World Cup victory before Olympics
Ljubljana – Slovenia’s Janja Garnbret continues to excel at this year’s climbing World Cup, having won her fourth event this season in Villars, Switzerland on Saturday, which raises hope for the Tokyo Olympics, where she will be the country’s main contender for gold.
Climber Lučka Rakovec crowned European lead champion
This is the biggest success in the career of 18-year-old Rakovec and confirms Slovenia has an incredible wealth of sports climbing talent that goes well beyond the reigning triple world champion Janja Garnbret who is not competing in Edinburgh.
Garnbret also won lead gold at the August World Championships in Hachioji while silver went to her compatriot Mia Krampl.
