Yea I was gonna say if it was Angelo who qualified I bet he would never have a post saying he is not sure whether to do it or not. And I bet Holly would also not think twice but support him and encourage him to go. The fact she is having doubts to me confirms that Angelo is not supporting her enough behind the scenes. If this was me and my boyfriend he would instantly plan everything to make sure I make it and book flights before I even have a chance to start doubting.

She said at first she didn't know where she was going to be in June, and now she's booked a non-refundable, one-way flight? Something doesn't add up.
I imagine she already agreed with Angelo that they would do one of the Asian Hyrox's so he has a better chance of being on the podium. Still doubtful if it's been booked though.
I think it’s for engagement, it’s the most comments she’s had on a post for a while.
I think she mentioned something about the Schengen Area and not having much time left but surely they knew where the World Championships were being held and that there was a small possibility that they could qualify so they should have planned for less time in France to accommodate that.
I found out some tragic news about a friend’s teenager recently and it’s making me irrationally angry that Holly’s not immediately grabbing every opportunity and life goal.

It's in June so they definitely have time to book flights and stuff, but I totally agree that if it were the other way around there would be no question that Angelo was going to compete.
Yeah for whatever reason she is lying. I refuse to believe she is that dumb. The whole point was to go to advance so the only thing that should have been set in stone is that they would keep the schedules open and money reserved for the world championship. They knew going into this that the world championship would be in Sweden so that money should have already been set aside. I dont understand how so early on in their journey Holly is claiming that they've already booked plane tickets to the other side of the world in April and cannot make it back by June when the whole point was to make it to worlds in June.

I think 100% she is lying and it's begging / a money grab. The fact she (twice) has given a range of how much it's likely to cost; mentioned accommodation, etc. - it's quite obviously grifting.
Charitably, I could believe at a push that it's a symptom of her chaos / underdeveloped competence at medium to long term (medium, let's face it) planning and/or qualification at Warsaw was relatively easy and she would risk being embarrassed by higher quality competition - but I think its grifting.

I could definitely believe that it's grifting. Does she still have management? I would have thought there were more effective ways to grift than begging on your Instagram stories
Also, yes Scandinavia is expensive anywhere you go for accomodation etc, but ultimately it is a short European flight, not like flying half way round the world. I hope she's doing this as click bait because if not it's totally insane
Im also hoping she is nt expecting someone to suggest she start a go fund me. That would be next level.
But i really believe its to get engagement.
I also dont get if money is the problem, why cant she jsut go and compete and angelo stay in whatever country they are. It was never going to be 100% gurantee they would make it at the same time.
Why cant thwy change their plans and stay with their family in uk for a few months ,and then go.
Holly is very rigid in her thinking and planning imo. While I can see how this could be a ploy for engagement, I also genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if Holly genuinely hadn’t considered making it to worlds this year. Her perfectionism means she tends to downplay her own achievements to herself, so really wouldnt shock me if she is still adopting her black and white thinking patterns here. E.g. I can see her making her mind up that she would never have reached the world championships, so booked the non refundable flight, not even factoring in the slight possibility that she could qualify. Then when she qualified, this turns her entire plans on their head. With Hollys lack of mental flexibility that probably feels extremely overwhelming (to have to either not go on a non refundable flight to get cheaper ones to the world championships and leave Angelo for a short while, or go on the flight and spend more money to get back to the championships).
She is not spontaneous at heart- her spontaneity is saying she’s travelling while adopting the most rigid planning/training routine. Angelo probably isn’t encouraging her to do what’s best for her- which imo should be finding the best way to make the world championships feasible to attend. This might look like parting ways for a month, but god forbid the most codependent and bizarrely bonded couple should go their separate ways for longer than a training session.

Honestly Holly, take the L on the plane tickets and go to Worlds FFS. It will be beneficial for your brand, help you grow your channel that you so desperately want to monetise and earn money off of, and move you further to your goal of being a sponsored Hyrox athlete who can make Hyrox their full time job. Those desk jobs are calling otherwise..
You could be right, but I can't recall a single time Holly wanted to do something and didn't go for it with her all. Maybe it isnt fair to judge as an outsider, but the only thing that seems different is that she now is taking Angelo into account instead just chasing after her goals.
i didnt think she was doing it this year, what year was it from?
I saw it too it looks like they took footage from one of her vlogs lol
So all those IG posts asking for help and they already decided on worlds??
Unless that was a last-minute addition to the vlog, I'd absolutely assume it was decided the second she got the email tbh
I blame myself for indulging in her tomfoolery when I should know better by now
