„And another time a dream comes true. After two years of hard training and lately of some competitions full of bad luck, this time everything went perfectly. In the beginning of February I won the world championship in ice climbing in Busteni (Romania). Already during qualification I could see that I was fit. As the only of 22 women I was able to reach the top. In semifinals 7 women climbed to the highest point but being the fastest, also here I remained first.

In the final route I was able to give everything, the first part provided three especially tricky undercleans, then a horizontal roof with stoneholds and an icetravers followed. From there you had to do a difficult move to another hold and then to some vertical ice. Here the Corean Shin Woon Seon fell.
I was able to proceed for other four holds to the top, which I wasn't able to clip in the last second. I am really really happy for this great success which for me is the remuneration of a lot of training but which now represents also a motivation to approach new projects."
