    Tbh it made me a bit teary. You come back so much stronger after every set back and you absolutely owned the semi and final. I absolutely loved the static movement on final M4, that was something. And as much as I was cheering for you, I wouldn't mind if Alberto won that. His coach was absolute legend congratulating you between firsts I think. Good luck to the future!

    I was there watching at Laval, one of the few brits in the crowd. We were screaming for you! I dont know how you managed to not let the pressure get to you. We were nervous just watching!! The moves on the lead route where you had to cut loose with the feet (around the 21:14 mark) had us all palms sweating, but then watching you top out at the end was magical. Congratualtions! See you in Paris in 2024!!

    I think the thing that strikes me the most is your mentality. How can anyone not let the pressure from a hugely important comp like this get to them? My guess is you're a wizard.
    Anyway, keep giving it your all, and keep crushing! 💪

Whatever you did in Laval, remember it for the Olympics! If you can get in the same headspace you have every chance of a massive result. SO exciting to have a British climber providing such massive results. You've genuinely provided some all-time great moments in climbing comps this season.

    Excited for you Toby and great film, well done! On day 1 do you get to know your standing after the boulder round before the lead? Nice to hear that you can actually recognise the improvements that you have made in technique. Maybe that means they are significant leaps forward rather than the usual and unnoticeable tiny improvements of elite athletes? Wow, that final climb was simply amazing :-) Bravo!
