Japan dominated as a team in Innsbruck

Austria got three golds and a bronze by Jakob Schubert and Jessica Pilz in the World Championship in Innsbruck. Slovenia did get two golds, one silver by Janja Garnbret and a bronze by Gregor Vezonik. However, based on the IFSC National Team ranking, Japan was superior and their result is just a continuation of their positive trend for several years. In lead, the male Japanese did get their best result ever. Japan Team Statistics Bouldering: Male 4 Top-7 : Female 2 Top-5 Lead: Male 4 Top-13 : 2 Top-8 Combined: Male 4 Top-8 : Female 3 Top-7 In the male Combined, Japan was allowed to participate with seven athletes who all were Top-31. Among the female, all their three competitors were Top-8. Imagine the Combined results if Japan had been allowed to participate with ten male and female. It should be noted that in Tokyo every nation is just allowed to participate with 2 male and 2 female. Noteworthy is also that in the Bouldering World male ranking, there are ten Japanese in the Top-21.
