Ranking of career IFSC victories by climber

Ranking of career IFSC victories by climber

Ranking of career gold climbing medals

This is a ranking of total career IFSC victories obtained in the annual IFSC Climbing World Cup (i.e. winners of the overall annual World Cup, and not an individual World Cup leg held during the year), and the biennial IFSC Climbing World Championships, which were organized by the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (from 1989 to 2006), and the International Federation of Sport Climbing (since 2007).

Climbers are ranked based on the total number of victories (i.e. won the biennial Championship or won the overall annual Cup) obtained throughout their competition climbing career across all four disciplines: Lead climbing, Bouldering, Speed climbing, and the Combined discipline, in these two events.

Comparison with IFSC rankings

This list is distinct from the IFSC World Rankings, which are computed separately for each of the four disciplines (i.e. Lead, Bouldering, Speed), and are based on the sum of all results, and not just victories, achieved by each athlete in the last twelve months.[3][4] Most career IFSC gold medals is a metric that is tracked by the climbing media, as was widely reported in the case of Janja Garnbret, however, as the annual World Cup consists of several individual events, for which gold medals are awarded, the number of "victories" is usually less than the total number of "gold medals".[1][2]

Tabulation

Athletes who have won at least won one gold medal in an World Cup series or a World Championship are listed in the tables below. They are ranked based on the number of victories (T) they obtained throughout their career across all disciplines.

Separate scores are provided for each of the two types of competition (1 = World Cups and 2 = World Championships), and the four disciplines (L = Lead climbing, B = Bouldering, S = Speed climbing, and C = Combined disciplines). Therefore, L1 is the number of Lead climbing World Cups awarded to each athlete.

For each athlete, the total number of victories (T) is obtained by adding together their total victories in the eight events:

T = L1 + B1 + S1 + C1 + L2 + B2 + S2 + C2

Partial totals are also provided for each discipline and competition. For instance, the total number of victories obtained in Lead climbing by each athlete is:

L = L1 + L2

and the total number of World Cups awarded to each athlete is:

T1 = L1 + B1 + S1 + C1
