jan kares, #17 in 1 Lead WC 1998, is a pull-up and bolting fanatic. Yesterday, he set two new world records by doing 555 pull-ups in 30 minutes first and then 1 018 during 1 hour. His next plan is to go to Sardinia and continue his bolting mission with 600 bolts. Since 2008, the 43-year-old has spent some 150 days bolting, paying for everything by himself. His dream is that this area, close to Cala Gonone, will be one of the best and most famous climbing areas in Europe.

Tu je zoznam pretekárov na obtiažnosť, ktorí sú z pohľadu lezeckej histórie výnimoční. Piati z dvanástich sú stále aktívni top závodníci. Kto by mal podľa teba byť ešte spomenutý v historických kronikách súťažného lezenia na obtiažnosť, od začiatku až po 2016? Ramon Julian Puigblanque: Súťažnú šnúru už ťahá nepretržite 16 úspešných rokov a v celkovom súčte bodov má dvojnásobne viac ako druhý v poradí Jakob Schubert. Tento 159cm vysoký španiel vyhral Majstrovstvá sveta dvakrát. Jakob Schubert: Na súťažnej scéne sa pohybuje už 10 rokov a v 2011 začal tým, že vyhral 7 závodov Svetového pohára v rade. Majstrovstvá sveta vyhral raz v roku 2012. Alex Chabot: Počas iba siedmich rokov na súťažnej scéne stál na pódiu 30-krát, z toho 21-krát ako víťaz! Adam Ondra: Ako šestnásťročný vyhral Svetový pohár a keď sa pozrieme na mužské priemerné výsledky je druhý, hneď za Chabotom. Majstrovstvá sveta vyhral dvakrát. Francois Legrand: Úplne ovládol súťažnú scénu v 90-tych rokoch, keď vyhral 17 závodov svetového pohára. Majstrom sveta bol trikrát. Angela Eiter: Počas jedenástich rokov vyhrala 25 pretekov Svetového pohára, dohromady stála na pódiu 43-krát a Majstrovstvá sveta vyhrala štyrikrát. Muriel Sarkany: Je č.1 čo sa týka celkového súčtu bodov v rebríčku a na pódiu stála 45-krát počas devätnástich súťažných sezón, čo je viac ako ktorýkoľvek iný pretekár v lezení na obtiažnosť. Majstrovstvá sveta vyhrala raz a druhá skončila štyrikrát. Jain Kim: Vyhrala 22 závodov svetového pohára, majsterkou sveta bola raz. Robin Erbesfield: Ovládla súťažnú scénu na začiatku 90-tych rokov, kedy vyhrala 14 podujatí Svetového pohára. Majstrovstvá vyhrala jedenkrát. Mina Markovic: Druhá v celkovom súčte bodov v kariére na obtiažnosť hneď po Muriel Sarkany, čo dosiahla v priebehu trinástich rokov. Liv Sansoz: Z 32 závodov, na ktorých sa zúčastnila, nikdy neskončila horšie ako deviata. Majstrovstvá sveta vyhrala dva razy. Susi Good: Zúčastnila sa sedemnástich pretekov Svetového pohára, pričom najhoršie skončila štvrtá a majsterkou sveta bola dvakrát.

Mina Markovic SLO 306 - Gauthier Supper FRA 281 Kompletné výsledky Slovinsko, krajina s iba dvomi miliónmi obyvateľov, za môže pýšiť dvojitým víťazstvom vo Svetovom pohári v podaní mladých lezcov Domena Škofica a Janji Garnbret. Maximálny počet bodov, ktorý mohli pretekári dosiahnuť bol 600, takže podľa výsledkov boli obaja relatívne dominantní vo svojich kategóriach. Janja za celý rok neskončila horšie ako tretia a Domen by vyhral, aj keby sa počítalo len päť zo siedmich výsledkov. (c) Manca Čujež Anak Verhoeven bola počas posledných dvoch rokov štvrtá, no tento rok zaznamenala výrazný postup a vždy sa držala v tesnom závese za Janjou. Jakob Shubert bol na konci každej sezóny od roku 2009 v Top-4 a tento rok skončil druhý. V celkovej štatistike je druhým najlepších lezcom na obtiažnosť na svete, hneď za Ramonetom (pozn.: Ramón Julián Puigblanque)

Here are some of the Lead competition climbers that stick out in the history. Five out of ten are still active top climbers. Who do you think is missing that should be mentioned in the history books of Lead competition climbing as of 2016? Ramon Julian Puigblanque: Competing for 16 straight successful years and when it comes to overall points he has almost twice as many as the runner-up Jakob Schubert. The 159 cm tall has won the world championships twice. Jakob Schubert: Ten successful years on the circuit and in 2011 he started by winning seven straight WCs. World Champion once. Alex Chabot: During only seven years he was on the podium 30 times winning 21 times! Adam Ondra: He won overall being just 16 years old and when it comes to male average results, he is #2 after Chabot. World Champion three times. Legrand: Totally dominated the circuit in the 90-ies and won in total 17 World Cups. World Champion three times. Angela Eiter: She won 25 events in just eleven years and in total she was on the podium 43 times. She has won the World Championship four times. Muriel Sarkany: She is #1 when it comes to total points and she has been on the podium 45 times during 19 seasons, which is the most for any lead climber. World Champion once and runner-up four times. Jain Kim: She has won 22 WCs, which is second after Eiter. World Champion once.

Laura Rogora has onsighted her third 8b, Dragon in Gole del melfa. The 15-year-old is actually #11 in the 8a onsight ranking game. (c) Sofia Mariano "Dragon is divided in two halves. The first part is an hard boulder followed by a pretty good rest and a very beautiful and technical groove on small holds. When I did the first boulder I understood that the hardest part was done. I had only to keep calm until the chain. When I exit from the groove and I hold the last good holds I felt so excited!! I train 5 times per week. 3 times in my bouldergym and in the weekend I go outdoor. In 2017 I would like to try some hard routes (I don't know where yet) and naturally continue competing. Naturally I am very happy that climbing got a place in the olympic games. Our sport is fantastic and it is fair that now it is an Olympic sport. I admit that I am not very happy about the format."

Anak Verhoeven won her second WC in 2016 in great style finishing just a couple of moves before the top of a great route. Akiyo Noguchi, #4 in the Boulder WC, was the runner up six moves behind Anak in just her second appearance in Lead this year. Janja Garnbret, the 17-year-old world champion who had already secured the overall title, was third. More pictures and full story by Eddie Fowke. As for the men, Sebastian Halenke won his first event and saved the route setters by climbing two thirds of the route. He said that it was the hardest competition route he had ever climbed. Both in qualifications and semis there was a record number of tops which probably made the route setters increase the difficulty in the final. Unfortunately, and probably because of the stressful atmosphere created by 5 000 spectators, almost all competitors feel on the same move. However, as Domen Skofic was second and won overall together with his girlfriend Janja Garnbret, the home crowd seemed very pleased anyhow. 1. Sebastian Halenke GER 37 - Anak Verhoeven BEL 47 2.
