Medal comments by Janja, Miho and Akiyo

IFSC has published a press release with comments by Janja Garnbret, Miho Nonaka and Akiyo Noguchi. (c) https://lt11.com/

Garnbret: “I'm so happy that I can't even describe it, it’s like a dream coming true. I wrote on Instagram probably six or more years ago, I wrote, ‘See you in Tokyo!’ so it's a dream come true."

Nonaka: “It’s unbelievable to have the medal in my hands, I believed I could win the silver soon, but I still can’t believe I did. It's wonderful".

Noguchi: “I only felt that I would do my best, but I didn't do as well as I wanted. After the bouldering discipline I was worried whether I would get a medal or not. But with Miho winning silver, I got the bronze. I feel I'm very worthy of the bronze medal."
