“My fondest sporting memory?
MY BRIANÇON WORLD CUP FINAL,
AT HOME "
THE NÜT’INTEVIEW // SALOMÉ ROMAIN
We are very happy to introduce you to Salomé Romain, a young Briançonnaise who is part of the France Escalade de Voiron pole and whom we have been following with great admiration for almost a year...
Hello Salomé! Can you tell us what pushed you to practice this sport at this high level?
My brother was a real driving force for me, he always made me want to reach the highest level. His performances made me dream. The competitions quickly worked very well for me, so when you give medals to a 6 year old kid, it's hard to stop her in her quest...
What qualities are required to practice high-level climbing?
I wouldn't say that you have to have this or that qualities. That would close the door to too many people. Everyone arrives as they are and develops their qualities and of course their shortcomings. But let's say that the qualities allowing you to perform at a high level in climbing are specific to each discipline, in general in bouldering and difficulty they are mentality, strength, grip holding, flexibility, commitment, endurance, adaptation.
What is your fondest sporting memory?
My final at the Briançon World Cup, at home.
What is your next sporting challenge?
The Paris 2024 Olympics and all the World Cups on my way obviously.
Do you pay attention to your diet? If so, all year round or rather by period?
The weight/power ratio is very important in our sport. Light enough to carry in the air but not too low a weight to be powerful and respect your body. The balance to find is not always well mastered by athletes. We unfortunately have cases of sports anorexia. For my part, I am very greedy but today, with maturity, I have found my nutritional balance. I know how to please myself, but also make the necessary efforts to dry out a little for a deadline. This sharpening is therefore punctual in the middle of a healthy diet that respects my needs and my desires.
What do you think of Nüttree energy balls?
This is an ideal contribution for me. The perfect amount and cool boost I needed. No feeling of hunger or having eaten too much. I am also very happy to consume 100% natural and organic products. It’s a respectful gesture for my health but also for the planet.
The balls are very delicious, it's delicious!
What are your favorite perfumes?
I have a big weakness for chocolate so yes obviously I put these two flavors at the top: apricot-chocolate and choco-coconut! YUM !
What is the place of women in the climbing world?
In competition, men and women are in different categories. Fortunately because in any case physiologically speaking, men are more muscular than us even if we too have other qualities which are less developed in them. Despite everything, the women put on incredible performances. There is real respect between men and women in our sport!

What does a typical workout look like?
In climbing, through the practice of 3 different disciplines, the training is very diverse. Typically, I train 5 or 6 days a week. Among these days, there are approximately 3 or 4 full days of training (so 2 sessions during the day or more). No two days are the same, and that’s a big advantage so you don’t get bored. So I don't really have a typical day but what is certain is that in the evening I am always very tired!

HOW DO YOU CONSUME NÜTTREE ENERGY BALLS?
For consumption it depends on what my day looks like. If I have a lot of workouts in the afternoon, I'll eat it between sessions. If I only have one, it will be right after, as a recovery. Taking energy balls often corresponds to snack time, I always feel a little peckish at that time.
In competition it's different: I don't eat a lot, but I snack a little throughout the day so energy balls are ideal for that!
