Olympic gold medallist Janja Garnbret won the 31st World Cup gold medal of her career and her second at the IFSC Lead World Cup Kranj. Young Luka Potočar, who's having an excellent season, claimed his first podium finish. "From the semi-finals on, the Zlato Polje Sports Hall hosted another wonderful event. Six Slovenians in the finals! That's truly incredible," said Luka Fonda, Slovenia Climbing Team coach.

The atmosphere in the packed Zlato Polje Sports Hall was exceptional; this is, after all, a special year for sport climbing. Fans gathered in numbers to cheer for the Slovenian athletes, especially the Olympic champion and the best competition climber in the world, Janja Garnbret. The 22-year-old phenom showed that she's still motivated, even though her Olympic gold medal means that she's already won almost everything. Janja Garnbret, who's won in Kranj before, secured the tenth gold medal for Slovenia in the Zlato Polje Sports Hall. »I didn't know it was win number ten, so I feel especially honoured. Considering the bad experience I had here in 2019 when I didn't make the finals, I really enjoyed today's climbing, especially in front of such an enthusiastic crowd. I was able to relax. I never gave up. I messed up my sequence a little bit in the middle part, but I wasn't too worried. I still can't believe that I've won the overall Lead World Cup title since I've skipped two events. This is just a bonus. It may seem that this is just another win, but that's not true. I'm happy for every gold medal and each one is special.«

One of Slovenia's semi-finalists was also Mia Krampl, who finished ninth, narrowly missing out on the finals. Lana Skušek was tenth and 16-year-old Sara Čopar, this year's lead and combined youth world champion, who competed in Kranj for the first time, finished 23rd. Lucija Tarkuš, who won silver in lead, bronze in boulder, and another silver in combined in this year's Youth World Championships, finished the Kranj lead event in 25th place. Slovenia had another four climbers in the qualifications. Tjaša Slemenšek was 27th, Liza Novak 30th, and Katja Debevec 31st. Martin Bergant also made the men's semi-final where he finished 9th. Anže Peharc was 28th, Andrej Polak 31st, Timotej Ramšak 46th, and Žiga Zajc 48th.

The Kranj competition was the final event in the careers of 33-year-old Mina Markovič and 24-year old Tjaša Primožič, both of whom have decided to retire from competition climbing. Officials of the Alpine Association of Slovenia and Prva osebna zavarovalnica, the general sponsor of the Slovenian national climbing team, thanked them for their incredible careers, which have been an inspiration for countless young climbers.
