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
Shauna Coxsey
Shauna Coxsey became the most decorated British competition climber in history, winning multiple Bouldering World Cup overall titles and establishing Great Britain as a genuine competitive power in a discipline historically dominated by other European nations and Japan. Her back-to-back Bouldering World Cup overall titles in 2016 and 2017 made her the first British climber, male or female, to win the overall series title, a breakthrough that significantly raised competition climbing's profile within the United Kingdom during a period when the sport was still working toward Olympic inclusion. Coxsey's role advocating for climbing's eventual addition to the Olympic program, alongside her own competitive success, gave her an influence on the sport's development extending beyond her individual results, helping build the case for climbing's Olympic debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games. Her combination of her back-to-back World Cup overall titles and her broader role advancing competition climbing's Olympic status has made Coxsey one of the most significant figures in British and international sport climbing history.
