Japan, USA and Slovenia dominated the 2022 WC

Here is the Combined national World Cup ranking in 2022. It was more or less the same ranking in 2021, aside from Japan creating an even bigger gap between themselves and the other countries chasing them. The Czech Republic has dropped in ranking due to the absence of Adam Ondra. Remarkably, Slovenia a country with only 2 million inhabitants has been one of the leading nations for some 20 years straight now.

1. Japan 42 138
2. USA 31 821
3. Slovenia 24 254
4. France 18 013
5. Germany 17 626

6. Austria 14 358
7. Korea 14 150
8. Italy 11 843
9. UK 10 401
0. Switzerland 6 936
