I couldn't watch. I was shaking all over, I had just completed a boulder problem and was currently watching others try it. The crowd was huge and the sudden irruption of applause as I had reached the top of the climb was deafening. At the moment I was in the lead but if someone else did the problem then they could overtake me. I had wanted to stand on the top of the podium at the nationals for almost 7 years now and the whole year of training had been in preparation for this competition. I wanted to win.

The page refreshed for what must have been the 50th time but this time it showed the results. I got selected for the GB team for the next year! I screamed, the thought of being able to compete in the world championships for definite meant that I would be one step closer to my goal of becoming world champion!!! The 6 month training would start after Christmas and I couldn't wait.
