To be completely honest, I’m pleasantly tired from the competition, the emotions, and every beautiful moment that came with it.
The qualifications went smoothly, the semifinals felt controlled, and in the final I’m most happy that I was able to climb with confidence, trust myself, and truly enjoy every move.
For a moment, I felt like I was 16 again - back in the beautiful Chamonix, where I won my first medal. The difference is that today I’m not just stronger physically, but I also carry so much more experience, awareness, and mental strength.
I think I’ve finally made peace with myself, at least to some extent. And maybe that’s exactly why things are finally starting to come together. The road to here hasn’t been easy. There have been doubts, setbacks, and difficult moments, but every one of them has shaped me into the athlete and the person I am today.
My heart is full of gratitude.
Thank you, God, for guiding me. Thank you to my coaches for believing in me, to my sponsors for standing by me, and to my parents for their endless love and support. This medal belongs to all of you as much as it belongs to me. ❤️
Congrats Anastasia (Annie) Sanders & .s 🔥👯♀️
