Alberto Ginez Lopez overall Lead WC winner

Olympic champion Alberto Ginés López is back on top. The Spaniard, who won gold in Tokyo 2021, secured the 2025 Lead World Cup overall title after an extraordinary season, reaching the podium at all six events. It marks a stunning return to form after three quieter years, when he entered only six World Cups in total while focusing on outdoor climbing. Chasing him was Japan’s Sorato Anraku. The 18-year-old sensation, already a three-time Boulder World Cup overall winner, finished runner-up in Lead after having won three events. Without the new rule introduced this season, where every event result counts, Anraku would have claimed the title, as his 14th-place finish in Seoul dragged down his tally.
