Amazing video! And yeah 100% agree with Brooke here, winning a comp isn't about being the strongest or even the best climber in the world, its about being consistent, versatile and performing at peak levels when it matters. No one can take that away from Natalia, she performed incredibly well when it mattered!
Natalia is definitely one of the BEST, having every qualifications as a champion. Don't be bothered by those ignorant bastards. They know nothing about the spirit of climbing. They are just envying your achievements. And they are actually just a tiny group. So please continue your great journey, and I'd love to see you on every wall. and the most important, yes, enjoy yourself there!
She also beat Janja in one comp and Miho in the other so idk what the haters are on about with "urr Akiyo wasn't there". She topped all boulders and beat the world's best, completely deserved title
Good interview with some questions on difficult topics. Ms. Grossman; thank you for being open and honest. Also this USA Female team is looking strong AF.
USA team will definitely be strong this year. Watch out for Melina Costanza, she has been crushing it in the USA comps the past year the way Natalia was before she exploded at the world cups.
Natalia and Brooke make the BEST bouldering team. So proud they represent the USA ! They should inspire young folks to be better and do better ! I love how supportive they are of each other even though they compete against each other !
all u can do is climb ur best that day. you cannot control the routes or how the people around u perform. keep killing it! fun to see u at the climbing gym. one day i might say hi :D
Thanks for hosting this interview @Ascentionism, great questions and well presented. I feel like Brooke and Natalia's friendship really drives them forward and pushes them more and more. I can't imagine how awesome it must be to climb at the highest level with your mate by your side. I'll use this opportunity to shill out the BlokCorp channel, a lesser known channel (270 subscribers rn) who have had interviews with a lot of pro and up and coming athletes including Natalia Grossman but also Futaba Ito and Orianne Bertonne among others, they said they were planning one with Brooke hopefully. I hope it's ok to do so. Here's the link to the Natalia interview from July 2021: ruclips.net/video/lhLztN1hC8E/видео.html
Hahaha sorry for using your comment! I tried to dig through old Reddit and FB posts to see if I could find some more negative ones, but the only ones I could find were on my video. For what it's worth, I agree - Janja is so insanely dominant and looked so good even in the comps that Natalia won
maybe its because im not a native english speaker, but it seems crazy how often she uses the word "like" as a filler of all sorts. i feel tempted to count... must be about twice in every sentence at least.
Yes I'd say it's definitely an English speaking thing (at least for North America). You're exactly right it's just a filler word that alot of people use without thinking about it
It’s a terribly lazy habit. But it’s also a social signifier of something to the effect of “I’m so cool I can’t be bothered to try to articulate myself effectively and clearly.”” that was established by celebrities like Paris Hilton, and the Kardashians.
Natalia had more victories in 2021 (3 world cup wins to Janja's2, I believe). It's important to note that Janja didn't compete in Moscow, though, which was where Natalia clinched the season title. Still, as it stands, Natalia is ranked #1 on the IFSC site
very down to earth interview with great insights - I hope one day you'll be sitting next to matt commentating an event - it would be amazing to have you there with your knowledge keep crushing
Thanks man! I think I have a long way to go before I'm knowledgeable enough to be on the big stages, but I appreciate the support and hopefully we'll get there some day!
Even if the ranking isn't earned (whatever the hell that means), it's only a matter of time before Natalia becomes the best, to the point that nobody can dispute it.
Janja is currenly at the top, and i didn't see any chance she's slipping. Natalia did win in salt lake and Moscow. but Janja won everything else. Natalia may be better in the future, but she needs to consistently be on the podium before that.

wow so cool of natalia to do an interview like this! she’s my favourite climber and i wish her all the best ◡̈
I think the old fashioned term 'Classy' applies here. Modest, but honest, no shit-talking, real and gracious.
What a gem of a human. Keep doing your best and be proud of who you are now!
Natalia is definitely one of the BEST, having every qualifications as a champion.

Even if the Salt lake boulders were “easy” she still did them better than anyone else
She also beat Janja in one comp and Miho in the other so idk what the haters are on about with "urr Akiyo wasn't there". She topped all boulders and beat the world's best, completely deserved title
Love her composure and mental game, such an inspiration
Good interview with some questions on difficult topics. Ms. Grossman; thank you for being open and honest.
Also this USA Female team is looking strong AF.
The whole team!
The US team is going to be SCARY in the next Olympics
USA team will definitely be strong this year. Watch out for Melina Costanza, she has been crushing it in the USA comps the past year the way Natalia was before she exploded at the world cups.
@@ascentionismfor sure!
Males like Colin, sean and nathaniel will dominate too
You know you are doing something right if you have haters that are jealous of where you are at or what you can do! Keep on shining through!!!
Natalia and Brooke make the BEST bouldering team. So proud they represent the USA ! They should inspire young folks to be better and do better !
I love how supportive they are of each other even though they compete against each other !
Aw lovely interview, way to go Natalia! Every win is deserved!!!
Great climber AND an adorable person
Great interview bud! Ascentionism with the QUALITY content as per usual🙌🏻
Great interview! Thank you!
Welcome to the Natialia Grossman fanclub channel :D
Always has been
Great watching the interview. Really enjoying the videos :)
She smiles more and that shows if you fee good you climb good
cool interview!! if you win, then you win... there is no "underserved" win ! goooo grossman!
That is such a bad take🤦♂️
Of course there are undeserved wins
@@rdtarcade7644 did u even look at the video... she played the game fair and square !
She deserved to win but there are undeserved wins
I was not talking about her specifically
all u can do is climb ur best that day. you cannot control the routes or how the people around u perform. keep killing it! fun to see u at the climbing gym. one day i might say hi :D
You have a face! 😍 I thought you were a voice-over! (A very well-informed voice-over.)

Thanks guys for the cool interview! Natalie is one of the greatest! As a non native english speaker I really struggle with this vocal fry thing...
Natalia looks so tired 😯
Imagine doing what you love.. with your bf.. living the dream
Lfg girl keep crushing
whats her ethnic background?
Looks Pakistani/Persian. But her last name is Germanic.
@@00calimonjewish same for the looks
she is on the juice
In which universe is Brooke stronger than Natalia? So funny she would say that.
look mama. im in a movie. btw. Im not saying she doesnt deserve where she is. But we are talking about Janja :) thats all I was saying
Hahaha sorry for using your comment! I tried to dig through old Reddit and FB posts to see if I could find some more negative ones, but the only ones I could find were on my video.
For what it's worth, I agree - Janja is so insanely dominant and looked so good even in the comps that Natalia won
@@ascentionism No worries. Its absolutely find to use it. I stand by what I said.
maybe its because im not a native english speaker, but it seems crazy how often she uses the word "like" as a filler of all sorts. i feel tempted to count... must be about twice in every sentence at least.

wow, what a nice interview. She's bright, and straighforward.
how is janja not #1 anymore? hasnt she won all the major events?
Natalia had more victories in 2021 (3 world cup wins to Janja's2, I believe). It's important to note that Janja didn't compete in Moscow, though, which was where Natalia clinched the season title. Still, as it stands, Natalia is ranked #1 on the IFSC site
I think she is doping
Sad that you both sound like robots when you speak. Make an effort having a normal voice if you produce audio-visual content ;)
Natalia is up there as one of the very top boulderers in the World.
What a great video!!!! Love that girl , She freaking rips
very down to earth interview with great insights - I hope one day you'll be sitting next to matt commentating an event - it would be amazing to have you there with your knowledge
keep crushing
Thanks man! I think I have a long way to go before I'm knowledgeable enough to be on the big stages, but I appreciate the support and hopefully we'll get there some day!
Such a positive person! And I love the friendship they appear to have with Brooke. Thanks for the interview! :) :)
Even if the ranking isn't earned (whatever the hell that means), it's only a matter of time before Natalia becomes the best, to the point that nobody can dispute it.
Or she just falls back to her 2019 level
Janja is currenly at the top, and i didn't see any chance she's slipping.
Natalia did win in salt lake and Moscow. but Janja won everything else.
Natalia may be better in the future, but she needs to consistently be on the podium before that.
Janja is just two years older than Natalia and shows no sign of slowing down.
I wouldn’t say that she’s above janja yet. She has potential to be, but Janja’s beat her more consistently than she’s beat janja
Natalia is a queen
