The fourth round of the IFSC Lead World Cup took place in Imst, Austria this weekend. A permanent fixture on the IFSC calendar, the long, steep overhang of Kletterhalle Imst's outdoor competition wall shook up the standings from previous rounds. Domen Skofic of Slovenia and local Austrian climber Magdalena Röck took Gold.

The line-up for Saturday night's finals was fairly typical, with three French climbers, two Koreans, four Slovenians and two Austrians qualifying for finals on home turf across both categories.

The men started off the evening on a volume-heavy route with a delicate first section. Austrian competitor Jakob Schubert set an early highpoint of 53+, which wasn't matched until Domen Skofic climbed to the same move four climbers later, Domen taking the lead on countback to the semi-final round. Ramon Julian Puigblanque of Spain fell lower than expected after qualifying in first place, leaving him in 7th ahead of Korea's Hanwool Kim in his first World Cup final. Gautier Supper of France completed the podium in 3rd place.

Domen's World Cup season has started promisingly and he currently leads the overall ranking by almost 100 points, with three wins out of four rounds so far - with a slight blip in Villars where he placed 13th.

In the women's event, Korea's Jain Kim set an early highpoint at the lip of the steepest section of the wall, sitting in the leader's chair until Slovenia's Mina Markovic matched her performance but went into the lead on countback. A strong performance by local climber Magdalena Röck from nearby Landeck placed her ahead of Mina. Mina's teammate Janja Garnbret - who had until this round been dominant, winning three Golds in three rounds - failed to continue her winning streak throughout each round of the competition, placing 2nd in qualification behind Anak Verhoeven of Belgium and 3rd in the semi-final round.

A seemingly rushed climb on the final route resulted in a few route-reading mistakes which cost Janja time and energy - resulting in a disappointing 5th place for the young Slovenian. Despite a strong performance in the qualifiers and semi-finals, Anak Verhoeven ran out of time in the roof section and had to settle for 4th place. Janja remains in the lead for the overall ranking with an 80 point lead over Magdalena Röck.

The next round of the 2016 IFSC Lead World Cup is in Arco, Italy this weekend.
