When Lead Climbers Go Speed Climbing | The Summit Ep.2 (part 1)

I don't know what to expect about speed climbing. I think that my chances of being a team dogmatist are pretty good. Yeah, you helped me. Give me some points. Yeah, even with the world record we had. Alright guys, you've all set a time and you're so close to one another. Hello and welcome to the Epic TV Climbing Summit, episode 2, part 1. Today, our five athletes will go head-to-head on the Battle of the Plastics. In this episode, our athletes will race against each other on the speed wall. Hey guys, welcome to day 2 of the Epic TV Athlete Summit. Today we're indoors and we've got two challenges for you. The first one is speed climbing. With us today we have Beatrice Colli. Hi. Who's, well, youth world champion in speed climbing. It's a bit unfair to put her up against you, so she will be your coach for today. And the idea is that you team up and the team that will win will be the one with the lowest aggregate time. So, between you guys, who do you think is the quickest? Stefano, what about you join Lari, since she never tried speed climbing before. And then we've got Matthias and Matthew together. Let's go. I don't know what to expect about speed climbing. It has been two years since I tried it last time for the Olympic qualification, and I was quite happy I stopped training it. So, Beatrice is just warming up and she's going to show the athletes how to do the speed run. I think that my chances of being teamed up with Matthias are pretty good, because he's actually trained speed, you know, not too much, but, you know, hopefully he can challenge Stefano's time, and then me and Lari will go head to head on the slightly slower end of the spectrum. This is a practice run, so you can check out the beta and maybe try something new for you. Try it, see how it works. I'll just try to remember what I did a few years ago. I have never been in speed climbing. Lari, how are you feeling? Nervous. Ok, you show me the beta. Ok. Match that one, right. No, like this. He's climbing in a crag. I think you can win the competition. I was just figuring out the beta. Are you happy with Stefano? Yeah, you, show me, give me some points. Yeah, even with the world record we had. How do you feel being teamed up with Lari? Good, could have been worse. Like, I don't know, it could have been worse. Who wants to go first? No, no one? I have a game that can decide who goes first. It's called Mama Chola. You do like, Mama Chola, and you put it this way or this way, and whoever is different from the other one, go first. Mama Chola. I lost at my own game. Probably the last speedrun in my life. Hopefully. That was a bit slow. We need the decimal times of Matthews. This is really close, it's really close. Right guys, you've all set a time, and you're so close to one another. Matthias and Matthew, you got the time of 35.73 seconds. And Lari and Stefano, you got the time of 35.97 seconds. You're the winners. That's the end of part one of episode two. Join us for the next video for the bouldering challenge.
