Sport climber Jessica Pilz won the bronze medal in the combined competition on Saturday and secured Austria's fifth medal at the Olympic Games in Paris.
After finishing sixth in bouldering, the 27-year-old from Lower Austria made it into the medal ranks in Le Bourget with a strong performance in lead. Olympic gold went to the Slovenian top favorite Janja Garnbret, just like three years ago in Tokyo, while silver went to the American Brooke Raboutou.
Pilz had achieved two of the four tops in bouldering and created a good starting position in the bouldering&lead combination competition with 59.3 points. In lead, the runner-up world champion came second with 88.1 points and made it into the medal ranks with a total of 147.4 points.
Third medal for climber

Here is the final result:
The 25-year-old exceptional athlete Garnbret lived up to her role as favorite. The eight-time world champion was number one in bouldering, just ahead of Raboutou, and climbed to another gold in lead.
