Mejdi Schalck – France

On missing out on a Paris place by one spot to teammate Paul Jenft:

“I don’t know what to say. I am just sad at the moment. It’s like that.

“I gave everything I have. No regrets on my mindset at all. It wasn’t the best climbing day of my life. I had not an amazing feeling and I wasn’t feeling so strong but I gave everything and I climbed well, generally.

“In Shanghai I did some s*** in the lead in the semifinals and that also cost me.

“It’s a hard situation but it’s part of the game and yeah, it’s life. It’s life.”
