Anouk Garnier

In April 2024, she became an overnight sensation after shattering the height record in climbing 110 m on a free hanging rope to reach the top of Eiffel Tower.

[4] She pursued new interest in rope climbing only in 2022 as she was expecting to chase a much more challenging sporting discipline in addition to the obstacle course racing.

[5] She insisted that she was inspired by the success of Denmark's Ida Mathilde Steensgaard who had set the world record for the highest climb by a female when the latter scaled up to a distance of 26 metres at the Copenhagen Opera House in 2022.

[13] French street artist Jo Di Bona who was also one of the ambassadors of the Paris 2024 volunteer program, created a fresco capturing the historic moment of Anouk's incredible achievement and notably Jo Di Bona did the unthinkable by finishing the fresco coinciding with Anouk's feat and it all happened within a space of 18 minutes.

[14] Her record-breaking expedition to the Eiffel Tower powered the hopes for the staging of the 2024 Summer Olympics, which is slated to commence in France in July 2024.
