Slovenian sport climber Janja Garnbret is a top-tier competitor whose verified record includes multiple World Cup wins and Olympic gold medals, and she was the first female climber to onsight an 8c (5.14b) sport route. Her career centers on lead and bouldering competition, and the footage in this catalog focuses tightly on that competitive life rather than outdoor projects.

Welcome to My World (2023) follows Garnbret through a season of training in Slovenia and the World Cup circuit. The film opens the door on the mechanics behind elite performance: you see board sessions, targeted drills, route-reading practice, and the cadence of travel, warmups, and finals. Garnbret is candid about carrying expectation and the weight of being the favorite, so the film is as much about managing pressure as it is about physical preparation.

For viewers curious about the realities of contemporary competition climbing, the film is practical. It demonstrates how an elite athlete organizes a season, balances indoor training with on-wall rehearsal, and works with coaches and support staff to tune performance. Rather than a broad career survey, the film is a granular look at preparation and mindset during active competition, useful for athletes, coaches, and fans seeking an inside view of how world-class results are produced.
