“We’ve been treated to an epic amount of comp goodness over the past few months. History was made at the IFSC World Championships when Molly Thompson-Smith made finals of the Lead event, the first British woman to do so. The GB Paraclimbing Team won four medals with Abbie Robinson claiming her fourth World Champion title and her 10th gold medal. We saw the first ever Youth World Championships GB Speed medal when Rafe Stokes took Bronze, and then at the British Championships he set a new British Speed Record – amazing!
