Most points, wins and medals in the comp history

Here is the Top-10 in the IFSC history based on World Points where also World Cup wins and World Champion titles have been added. As can be seen only three male made the list and this is because more female have done both Lead and Boulder and that the male WC wins are more spread out, especially in bouldering. Based on this, Kilian Fischhuber's 21 WC Boulder sticks out. It should be noted that Angela Eiter finished her career only 26 years old. 7 451 Mina Markovic SLO: 22 WC wins+0 WCH (2 Podiums) 6 751 Akiyo Noguchi JPN: 18 + 0 (4) 6 672 Jain Kim KOR: 27 + 1 (3) 6 599 Ramon Puigblanque ESP: 20 + 2 (2) 6 329 Jakob Schubert: 18 + 1 (2) 6 130 Kilian Fischhuber AUT: 21 + 0 (2) 5 968 Muriel Sarkany BEL: 20 + 1 (4) 5 759 Sandrine Levet: 22 + 1 (2) 5 224 Anna Stöhr AUT: 22 + 2 (2) 5 116 Angela Eiter AUT: 25 + 4 (0) It should be mentioned that the Boulder WC started in 1999 and in general there has been less Boulder WCs which makes it easier for the modern generation to make the list. The Lead WC started in 1989 and in the early years there were less competitions. Robyn Erbesfield-Raboutou should have been much higher up in the list if there would have been as many WCs in the early 90-ies. She won 37 % of the WCs she did and made it to the podium 74 %. Only Janja Garnbret beats this win 50 % wins and 88 % podiums and Liv Sansoz and Suzi Good are very close with 35 % wins and 73 % podiums respectively 32 and 74 %. Liv was world champion three times and Suzi twice. Among the male, Adam Ondra is together with Francois Legrand and Alex Chabot, the most superior in their time. Here are others that should be mentioned based on their overall track record. Note that Romain Desgranges is the oldest successful IFSC competitor peaking 35+ after having struggled for almost 15 years. The youngest WC winners are David Lama and Johanna Ernst who both won in their first Lead respectively Boulder WC being just 15 years old. 5 396 Sean McColl: 3 + 0 (1) 5 047 Jorg Verhoeven: 4 + 0 (1) 5 020 Maja Vidmar: 12 + 0 (2) 4 352 Romain Desgranges: 5 + 0 (0) 4 025 Dimitri Sharafutdinov: 12 + 3 (0) 3 875 Tomas Mrazek: 10 + 2 (1) 3 539 Francois Legrand: 17 + 3 (1) 3 500 Patxi Usobiaga: 6 + 1 (3) 3 122 Shauna Coxsey: 11 + 0 (0) 3 093 Adam Ondra CZE: 14 + 3 (8) 2 137 Janja Garnbret SLO: 13 + 1 (0) 2 989 Jerome Meyer: 11 + 0 (2) 2 946 Robyn Erbesfield USA: 14 + 1 (2) 2 548 Liv Sansoz 11 + 2 (1) 2 545 Alex Chabot: 21 + 0 (1) Sachi Amma, Martina Cufar, Rustam Gelmanov, Olga Bibik, Yulia Abramchuk, Isabelle Patissier, Shauna Coxsey and Yuji Hirayama can also be mentioned having also made great marks in the IFSC history. Part of the source of this gathering is Heiko Wilhelm's great book Beyond the Face. We will follow up with an overall male and female IFSC history ranking, based on their overall track record which will be subjective as the number of available competitions have varied over time. Later we will also make an individual presentation of the 8a the Top-10.
