- Janja Garnbret (SLO)
Age: 22
Hometown: Šmartno pri Slovenj Gradcu
Height: 164cm
Strength: Lead climbing and Bouldering
Fastest speed climb: Villars 2021 - 9.15
2019 world rankings: Boulder 1st | Lead 2nd | Speed 48th
The one to beat in both Bouldering and Lead. Expect a few flashes in bouldering and potentially a top in lead because Janja is the most successful competition climber ever.

- Akiyo Noguchi (JPN)
Age: 32
Hometown: Ryugasaki-shi
Height: 167cm
Strength: Lead climbing and Bouldering
Fastest speed climb: Salt Lake City 2021 -9.12
2019 world rankings: Boulder 2nd | Lead 5th | Speed 57th
Climbing perfection, a close second to Janja in top performing athletes. Akiyo moves with such grace and fluidity that one might question if she is in fact a human or an elegant swan (we aren’t sure if swans climb well, but if they did it would look like Akiyo).

Height: 164cm
Strength: Bouldering
Fastest speed climb: Hachioji 2019 - 9.14
2019 world rankings: Boulder 11th | Lead 45th | Speed 64th
A stacked line up in the womens! Another incredibly successful competition climber, Shauna Coxsey. Shauna recently announced that this would be her final International Event as a professional climber. It will be a sad farewell to an athlete that the climbing world has got to know so well but hopefully she leaves us with one final incredible performance.

Height: 163cm
Strength: Bouldering
Fastest speed climb: Salt Lake City 2021 - 8.58
2019 world rankings: Boulder 15th | Lead 19th | Speed 30th
The next generation through Japan. Miho has given her inspiration and idol, Akiyo a run for her money since hitting the world cup circuit and as Akiyo starts to age out of competition we will see Miho take that reign of Japan's strongest climber.

Height: 158cm
Strength: Lead climbing and Bouldering
Fastest speed climb: Salt Lake City 2021 - 9.36
2019 world rankings: Boulder 55th | Lead 46th | Speed 73rd
Still quite young Brooke has really made a name for herself as a real contender. It’s no surprise however when you look at her lineage, as the offspring of 2 world champions, Robyn Erbesfield-Raboutou and Didier Raboutou.

Mia Krampl and Janja are training partners back home in Slovenia so we are sure she has some tricks up her sleeves to show us in Tokyo. A strong contender in both Lead and Boulder, let's see if she can rank highly enough in those disciplines to shoot her through to finals.

Home girl Oceana is definitely one to watch. She hasn’t been on the circuit long as she is only 19, but has made quite the name after making a Boulder world cup final and many semi finals in 2019 before being lockdown in Australia for most of 2020.
