Janja Garnbret

Slovenian sport climber

One film from Janja Garnbret.

Janja Garnbret is a Slovenian competition climber whose competitive résumé includes multiple World Cup victories and Olympic success; the public record notes her as the first female Olympic gold medallist in climbing and that she has won two Olympic golds. Her standing in the sport comes from an unusually consistent dominance on the international circuit and from achievements that span lead and bouldering competition formats.

The single film in this catalog, Welcome to My World, is a concise, behind-the-scenes season diary that foregrounds the practical work of elite competition climbing. Shot across training in Slovenia and stops on the World Cup circuit, it shows board sessions, route-reading practice, and the routines that underpin contest performance. Garnbret’s on-camera reflections about expectation and preparedness are central: the film gives concrete scenes of how an athlete manages being the favourite, rather than editorializing about results.

For viewers who already know Garnbret’s record, the film is valuable because it pivots from trophies to process. You’ll see daily training modalities, the interpersonal rhythms of a competing season, and how focus and recovery are structured between events. That makes Welcome to My World useful both as an introduction to high-level competition logistics and as a candid personal portrait of an athlete navigating the pressures that accompany repeated success.
