Lead climbing at the 2019 IFSC Climbing World Cup

Slovenian climber Janja Garnbret has made sporting history by winning her 40th World Cup event in Switzerland on 1 July, a feat no other man or woman has achieved before.

Garnbret dominated the lead event in Villars as the only competitor to reach the top in the semi-final and the final, to achieve her 25th lead win and 40th World Cup victory.

Lausanne – Climber Janja Garnbret continued her winning streak on Saturday, taking first place in women’s lead event in Villars, Switzerland, earning her 50th world cup podium and 34th first place.

The Olympic gold medallist was the only climber in male and female competition to make it to the top of both climbing walls in the semifinals and finals at yesterday’s competition.

Innsbruck – Olympic gold medallist Janja Garnbret won the World Cup lead event in Innsbruck on Sunday, becoming the first competitor to notch up 33 World Cup wins in climbing.

The win comes after a long break – she last competed in early April – during which she eschewed bouldering events to focus on lead, in particular the European Championship in August.
