Kraków marked the debut of the new Speed 4 format at World Cup level—four lanes running simultaneously, a system first used at the 2025 World Games in Chengdu. Plenty of records fell at the event, notably USA's Emma Hunt became the first woman to go under six seconds, setting a new record of 5.99.
Janja Garnbret made the first female ascent of Bibliographie (9b+/38) at Céüse, France, becoming only the second woman to climb 9b+, after Brooke Raboutou sent Excalibur at Arco last year.
