Aleksandra Miroslaw and Kiromal Katibin broke their own speed world records at the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) World Cup in Salt lake City.

Indonesia's Katibin slapped the finishing pad after just 5.10sec in men's qualifying - shaving 0.07 off the world record he set last month in Seoul - although as on that occasion Katibin could not follow up the phenomenal time with an event victory.

Katibin completed the climb in 5.19 in his round-of-16 match-up, but then slipped in the quarter-finals.

Instead it was compatriot Veddriq Leonardo, who posted 5.35 in the semi-finals and 5.28 in qualifying, who won the competition.

Tobias Plangger from Austria fell in the final, while Italy's Ludovico Fassali won the small final to complete the podium.

By comparison, Poland's Miroslaw was utterly dominant in the women's tournament, beginning by topping qualifying in a world-record time of 6.53.

Miroslaw had set the previous mark, 6.64, at the World Cup in Seoul last month.

The Polish climber then had the quickest times in the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final, where she beat Emma Hunt with ease after the American athlete fell.

Aleksandra Kalucka beat twin sister Natalia in the race for third place, meaning their were two Poles on the podium.

This is the second of back-to-back IFSC World Cup legs in Pioneer Park in Salt Lake City.

Miroslaw and Katibin won the first speed competitions a week ago.

Boulder competition is scheduled to take place over the next two days in Utah.
