Druhá letošní mezinárodní akce, poslední možnost pro Evropany nominovat se na olympiádu, týden plný lezení, Mistrovství Evropy v Moskvě. I přes zhoršující se epidemiologickou situaci v Evropě se závod uskutečnil, organizace byla bez problémů, krásná nová hala a namotivovaní závodníci, včetně početného týmu z ČR.
Speed by Virt
Nejprve se závodilo v jednotlivých disciplínách a 20 nejlepších postupovalo do kombinačního závodu. První den byl na programu speed, neoblíbená disciplína, naposledy jsem cestu lezl vloni na MS v Hachioji, s časem 9,8s jsem obsadil 33. místo. Následoval bouldering, kvalifikace celkem napálená a postup do semifinále si zajišťuji až přelezením posledního silového boulderu na OS.

Semifinále mi vyšlo celkem podobné, první silový boulder mi perfektně sedne a dávám na OS, což se už následně povede jen Sergejovi Luzhetskymu. Dvojka kolmáč, peru se s tím a pod Topem se mi nedaří zvednout noha k ruce a jak se nakonec ukázalo, stojí mě to postup do finále. Ta moje mobilita... Trojka má těžký náskok hned v úvodu, 20s před koncem limitu skočím a jdu pro zónu, nějak si ale neuvědomím, že zóna je mikrořezka a ne celá struktura - beru jen strukturu, takže jsem bez zóny. Čtverka je skvělý koordinační boulder, tady nic moc nepředvedu. Celkově tedy pěkné 11. místo, ale finále bylo blízko.
Boulder semis
Hned další den je kvalifikace v obtížnosti, cítím se celkem unavený z boulderů, ale cesty jsou bez těžkého místa, jen čistá vytrvalost, a ta postupuji do semifinále z 6. místa.
Lead qualis by Virt
Semifinále mi vychází dobře, nechybuji a padám kousek pod topem a z 5. místa jdu do finále, mám radost. Finále na velké akci je vždy nádherný zážitek. Finálová cesta je opět spíše o vytrvalosti, což mi příliš nehraje do karet, v závěrečné pasáži dělám malou chybu a končím na 6. místě, bedna byla blízko a dosažitelná, ale i tak jsem happy, vytrvalost jsem na závod vyladil perfektně.
Lead finals
Po pěti dnech závodění byl den volna, raději bych asi závodil bez restu, den ode dne jsme se cítil lépe a po restu trochu hůře.
Combined qualis by Virt
Nejprve povinná rychlost, nekončím poslední a obsazuji 19. místo. Potom následují bouldery, hned na prvním lehkém boulderu se mi nedaří a padám pod topem, další bouldery nejsou o moc těžší a proběhnu jimi do Topu, což stačí pouze na 15. místo – zbytečně lehké. Obtížnost musím napálit, lezu dobře, ale v závěrečné pasáži pod topem si netroufám na "číšníka", dávám dlouhou rozpažku a jdu k zemi, což mi dává 5. místo v leadu. Celkově končím na 15. místě kombinačního závodu, zajímavá zkušenost jít na všechny tři disciplíny v jeden den.
Combined qualis
Finále celého klání končí neskutečně šťastně pro ruskou výpravu a novými olympioniky se stávají Meshkova a Rubtsov, je to obrovsky napínavé, ale do značné míry ovlivněné slabým výkonem stavěčů, kdy vlivem lehkých cest rozhodoval u obtížnosti čas na úkor sportovního výkonu. Záznamy z jednotlivých kol lze shlédnout na Youtube kanálu Russia Climbing, respektive na IFSC climbingu. Na závěr díky všem, kteří se o nás starali v průběhu závodu a kteří mi zpříjemnili dlouhé chvíle během těchto deseti dní v Moskvě.
Czech Team
The European Championship in Moscow was the second international event of this year and the last opportunity for European climbers to qualify for the Olympics. Despite the worsening epidemiologic situation in Europe the competition did take place and it all ran smoothly. The new gym was amazing and the participants, including the large Czech team, were really keen on the competition.
First we competed in the individual disciplines and the top 20 then passed to the combined competition. The first day was devoted to climbing for speed, which I don't like much. Last time I was climbing a speed route at the World Championship in Hachioji, I scored 9,8s and the 33rd place. Then there was the bouldering competition, the qualification was pretty tight and I only passed thanks to the OS of the last power boulder.
The semifinal was pretty similar, the first power boulder really suited me and I climbed it OS, the only other climber who scored OS was Sergey Luzhetsky. The second boulder is a vertical and I struggle with it, under the top I can't lift the leg to the hand and, as I learn later, it costs me passing to the final... The third boulder has a hard start and I manage to jump to the zone 20 seconds before the end of the time limit, what I don't realize, though, is that the zone is just the small hold, not the whole structure, so grabbing the structure does not count as a zone. The fourth boulder is a coordination climb and it's awesome, but I don't shine that much. In total I earn a nice 11th place, which is good, but I'm a bit disappointed as the final was really close.
On the next day we have a qualification in climbing for difficulty and I feel quite tired from the bouldering competition. However, the routes don't have any difficult places and it's all just about endurance, really, so I pass to the semifinal from the 6th place.
The semifinal goes well, I don't make any mistakes and fall from under the top, so I pass to the final from the 5th place and I'm really happy about that. It's always an amazing experience to take part in the final of a huge event. The final route is again mostly about endurance, which is not very good for me. I make a small mistake in the final section of the route so I end up 6th. I was very close to scoring one of the first three places but I'm still happy about the result, I was doing really well.
We had a free day after five days of competing, but I would actually prefer to continue climbing because as long as we've been climbing, I was feeling better day by day and after the rest it got somehow worse.
So first there is speed climbing. I earn the 19th place, which is not the worst result. Then there are the boulders the very first of theme is quite easy but I fall from under the top. The following ones are quite similar and I make it to the top, but they are too easy, so I only get the 15th place. So I really need to shine in climbing for difficulty. I'm doing very well but in the final section I spread the arms too much and go down, so in the end I'm 5th. In total I score the 15th place in the combined competition and it's a priceless experience to try all three disciplines in one day.
The final is great for the Russian team, Meshkova and Rubtsov qualify for the Olympic games. It was a real nailbiter, but unfortunately the poor performance of the builders played a crucial part in the results because the time, not the performance, was what decided in the climbing for difficulty. The routes were just a bit too easy. You can watch the videos at the Russia Climbing or IFSC climbing Youtube channels. I would like to thank everyone who took care of us during the competition and made the 10 days in Moscow a truly pleasant experience.
