Magdalena Röck of Austria was once again victorious in Imst in the fourth International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) Lead World Cup of 2016, repeating the win she claimed in 2014.

Röck topped the standings with a score of 56 which earned her 11.11 points.

Elsewhere in the women's competition, seventeen-year-old Janja Garnbret's winning streak came to an end at three as she missed out on the first IFSC Lead World Cup podium of her young career after finishing in fifth place.

Nearly a quarter of the women in the semi-finals were French, but in the end veterans Mina Markovic of Slovenia and Jain Kim of South Korea joined Röck on the podium for second and third place, respectively.

Fourth-place finisher Anak Verhoeven is yet to bring home gold to Belgium, despite coming tantalisingly close.

The women's finals route was progressively overhanging, with a complex roof just before the top panel.

Kim was the first athlete to reach the sequence, but neither she nor Markovic conserved enough energy to complete the puzzle.

Röck tried a more creative solution, dangling almost upside down and leading with her feet, which earned her positive movement beyond their highest point.

In the end, her inspiring effort was enough for gold when Verhoeven timed out just as she approached the same spot.

Domen Skofic won the men's competition, which means Slovenia has now won at least one gold at every IFSC Lead World Cup this year. 

The seasoned Jakob Schubert also produced a stunning display that energised the Imst crowd with a whopping 53+, but Skofic tied the Austrian competitor and claimed his third gold of the season with a count back to Semi-Finals.

Gautier Supper of France completed the podium positions as he was third.

Supper conserved enough energy to fight the pump longer than most of the field, but the Frenchman seemed to miss a foothold at the upper crux.

Schubert found a much needed heel hook to push through the top section in front of his home crowd, but he still fell well shy of the chains. 

Skofic then copied the stunt later on for his second gold in a row.
