The joy of this triumph broke out in tears of joy in the 27-year-old. "There was so much pressure. And the Olympic Games are the biggest in our sport," said Pilz and remembered the intensive time of waiting for this moment.The way to this success was anything but easy. Jessica Pilz, who started climbing in 2005, took her first step into this fascinating sport during a holiday program for children. At that time there was only one waiting list, but coach Gerhard Krenn recognized the talent of the young Haagerin and still had it participated. Quick success followed: As early as 2011 she became a youth champion and made a name for herself in the climbing scene.
