The Olympics can come
Why Jakob Schubert is particularly looking forward to Paris
The Summer Olympics in Paris kick off on July 26. In climbing, Austria's figurehead, Jakob Schubert, is considered a great medal hope. In the krone.tv sports talk, the 33-year-old from Innsbruck talks about his memories of bronze in Tokyo 2021, what has happened in the meantime, to what extent he has been able to optimize his climbing style once again and what he associates with the French capital.
Positive memories of Paris, ambitious perfectionist
Jakob Schubert celebrated his first world championship title twelve years ago in the city of love of all places. Away from his sporting success, the exceptional climber has been drawn to Fontainebleau (a well-known bouldering area near Paris) several times. The connection between him and the European metropolis therefore seems to be a good one.
With top preparation, Schubert wants to leave nothing to chance and a medal is clearly the chosen goal. The 33-year-old is generally regarded as an ambitious perfectionist, which is also reflected in his free time. The Innsbruck native likes to pass the time with chess and online gaming. "I love analytical and logical thinking," says Schubert, who, as a numbers person, probably only has the numbers one to three in his head during the Olympic Games.
