![SNAPPED AXE TO TOP OF THE PODIUM: SIGN OF A CHAMPION
[The UIAA’s top ten moments from this season]
Since emerging on the scene in 2019, Louna Ladevant has become the dominant male lead climber on the circuit. He won the last complete World Tour in 2020 before the disruption of the pandemic and followed that up with a European Championships success in 2021 and as World Champion in Switzerland in 2022. This year marked an opportunity to defend the World Cup circuit title from 2020. It started inauspiciously. A snapped axe in the Korean Alps led to a costly fall in the final. It compounded a frustrating weekend where his equipment and luggage never arrived. He responded in the style of a champion, dominating his home World Cup in France and then winning another gold medal in Saas-Fee to take the World Tour title.
