Lucrezia struggled in the speed climbing after developing a fear of heights due to an accident when she was younger.

She explained in a VT: ‘I was on holiday in Greece and I leant back on a balcony and fell to the ground. 

‘I was airlifted to Athens and it was the most terrifying experience of my life. So I will have an issue with the climbing to be able to trust the rope and lean back with my weight on it.’

During the final the women also competed in the weight lifting event, with Rebecca Sarker winning even after being given a foul in her first round.
