Now, the match of Seohyun from South Korea is starting. She has a determined expression, but it seems like she recognizes someone in the crowd. I wonder if she heard her mother’s voice among the audience. There are also many Korean fans cheering for her. I hope she receives their support. Seo Chaehyun has completed her second climb with a score of 44.2. As for Mia's previous climbing performance, we can't know exactly how far she got, but based on the crowd's cheers and the last quick logistics of her position, they probably realized that she had fallen from the hold. That’s how they can confirm it. Now, as the last rope is being released, we can see that the last two holds are still in place. It's fascinating to notice such small details. We are at the midpoint, and athlete Choi Hyun is maintaining her composure, showcasing her skills.

I believe you will complete the climb carefully. Yes, in two disciplines, the lead is the one I am most confident in. It’s not just the water but also the encounter with Seo Chae-hyun. I hope she showcases that appearance fully at the Paris Olympics. In a moment, Seo-hyun’s lead will begin. It’s starting now. As expected, she is using her unique softness very well, and her condition looks really good. Today, Kim Jai-in seems to have come to cheer for her, as her name was just called. She has come with the same hairstyle suited for the competition, and I hope that feeling is conveyed. I truly feel grateful that I can still compete alongside Choi Hyun, and Choi Yeon also enjoys competing with me. So when we both reach the finals, we get really excited together. I also feel a bit like an athlete today.

I styled my hair. The athlete Seo Chi-hyun's most respected player is Kim Ja-in. She seems to have placed a focus on the H section with a score of 6. She is handling it very stably. Here, too, there is no hesitation. It seems like she is giving a rebound, but her lower body is completely steady. It’s very stable. Currently, Choi Hyun is also climbing at a fast pace, and she has only used about 2 minutes so far. Wow, she has already made it this far. It feels like she has a lot of confidence in every single move she makes. She climbs as smoothly as water flows, of course, water flows downward. She has ascended as if flowing like water. If we compare bouldering and lead climbing, bouldering is structured a bit shorter, making it very dynamic and fiery. In contrast, lead climbing is really about the rhythm and flow from the start to the end of the climb, where I lead the ascent with just one opportunity.

I think it feels really smooth and fluid, almost like water. And that calmness continues with Seohyun. She still seems very relaxed, as if she just started climbing. Right now, she has plenty of composure. I'm not saying this just because she's a Korean athlete; she is genuinely stable. She isn't shaking at all. If she maintains this calmness, she can make it to the end. You can hear the sound of the rope, right? Yes, she has a good grip. Here, she's making a movement. Yes, that's good. She held on, and she still has strength left. There’s hardly any movement in her arms; she has plenty of ease. Great! If she continues like this, she can reach the highest point of the competition. She looks very comfortable. Yes, she can keep going. Now, she’s applying chalk and moving on to the next part. Isn't this the section where the first place competitor fell? Yes, that's right. Great! The athlete is moving on. Now, she adjusts her balance with her feet and grabs with her right hand.

Ah, I'm going to the left hand. It's unfortunate, but I've reached the highest position. Currently, I'm in the lead with a score of 72 points, which means the combined score is 116. With a score of 6.3, I'm ranked third. However, since there are many players left, we need to see how it goes. Coach Seo Jong-guk also looks serious and is discussing the situation. Although we still need to wait for the results of the players behind, Choi Hyun has performed very steadily and confidently throughout the competition. So far, Seo Hyun has climbed to the highest position among all the players in this lead section. She has entered that segment more steadily than anyone else. The next hold with the left hand is quite challenging. It really is tough; it feels like it could slip off. I think we might see the final rankings soon.

I will summarize once again. The players with green tags on the right are the finalists: Gabr, Pilts, Ratu, Mori, Betrón, Mackenzie, and McNish. The last one is Seo Hyun. Currently, Seo Chae Hyun is still in fourth place overall, with four players remaining. So, in my opinion, it seems like... what do you think? How do you feel about the remaining players, especially those we've competed with before? It seems like it's confirmed now, right? Four players are left. Honestly, I was hoping that at least one of us would make it through, but I’m really grateful that we can play one more round. That seems right, doesn't it? Congratulations! Thank you. Since this is our main event, I felt that we had to turn things around here. Even if I didn't want to think about it, I couldn't help but feel a bit more nervous. However, I managed to overcome that tension, and I think I performed well in the climbing.

It’s a bit disappointing that it’s over, but I still had a lot of fun. First of all, I’m just really happy to have made it to the finals. I’m so grateful to be able to perform in front of such a large audience. Rather than getting too caught up in the results, I just want to enjoy the final stage and have a great time. Thank you!
