Tomoa Narasaki entered the world championships vowing to not only shoot for an Olympic berth but for the gold medal as well.
In the end, he proved to be a man of his word.
Narasaki captured his first men's combined event gold medal at the IFSC World Championships on Wednesday, also booking a spot on the Japan national team for next year's Tokyo Olympics on the final day of the global meet at Esforta Arena Hachioji.
