A did something new for paraclimbing a few weekends ago.

The Belgium National this year ran a brilliant idea of doing actual lead climbing, speed, and bouldering.

40 athletes from all over the world and from all disciplines attended to show that para athletes can also do the same level of sport as the able World level climbers.

I won 2 x bronze medals in lead and bouldering. Actually coming 2nd in lead climbing.

It showed how national competitions can include other disciplines. I hope that more countries adopt this kind of opportunity going for in future years.

Thank you to the Belgium organization and @fre.climbs for running a brilliant event and to @klimax_bvkb for hosting the day.

Thank you to my strength and conditioning coach Joe from @ascend_strength_pt for putting me on track to be able to bring home these medals.

Check out the results at www.paraclimbing.be

Great day last week delivering my athlete testing event with GB Paraclimbers at the University of Derby.

Climbing-specific testing across multiple disability categories. Assessing upper and lower body performance ahead of the 2026 season using @Tindeqequipment & @vald_performance.

Great session with Joe yesterday, analyzing my angles, strengths, and pulling power. We tested my jump and finger strength, as well as leg power. I struggled to bend down in the jump test due to MS in my legs,which affected my spring. Despite that, the results were really promising, showing better-than-expected strength gains. I am looking forward to the rest of the training sessions before my first World Cup in Innsbruck this June! taken in The University of Derby Sports Centre by @ascend_strength_pt

New exercises. Moving a 3kg ball with multiple sclerosis.

The yoga ball was too easy. So we changed to 3kg ball and what I needed to add to be able to lift my legs. The weight is not a problem to move between my my hands and foot. When my feet get near the floor, I struggle to keep pushing feet together and lower the legs. So the solution was to raise the floor.

Working with Joe is an interesting time. To find solutions to training when my brain can not communicate with my calfs due to the scars in my spine and brain.

Thank you for supporting me.
