Akiyo Noguchi
Akiyo Noguchi won more Bouldering World Cup overall titles than any other woman in the discipline's history, sustaining a level of dominance across more than a decade that established her as the benchmark women's competition climber before the sport's Olympic debut. Her sustained excellence across changing competition formats and an increasingly deep international field throughout the 2010s reflected a level of technical consistency that few competitors, in any era of the sport, have matched over such an extended competitive span. Noguchi's bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, held in 2021, in the sport's combined format debut event, gave her career an Olympic-stage achievement to complement her already-dominant World Cup record, closing out her competitive career at the sport's biggest possible stage. Her combination of her record-setting Bouldering World Cup title total and her Olympic-stage achievement has made Noguchi one of the most statistically dominant and historically significant competition climbers in the sport's history.
VS
Miho Nonaka
Miho Nonaka won the silver medal in the inaugural Olympic combined climbing event at the Tokyo 2020 Games, held in 2021, becoming one of the defining figures of competition climbing's historic Olympic debut and one of Japan's most significant climbing competitors of her generation. Her technical strength specifically in lead climbing, the discipline within the sport's combined Olympic format that rewards sustained endurance and route-reading over the shorter, more explosive demands of bouldering, gave her a distinct competitive profile within Japan's deep roster of elite climbers. Nonaka's Olympic silver medal performance, achieved on the biggest possible stage during the sport's first-ever Olympic appearance, gave her a specific historic significance tied directly to climbing's broader institutional legitimization as an Olympic sport. Her combination of her historic Olympic silver medal and her specific lead-climbing technical strength has made Nonaka one of the most significant figures in competition climbing's landmark Olympic debut.
