English term or phrase: "put a dent in the leader board"
Uttryck (amerikanskt) som jag inte känner till, och som inte är helt klart av sammanhanget, en text om snowboardåkning: . In the first runs more than 3/4ths of the riders maxed out and crashed or had the run of there life and still it did not put a dent in the leader board.

satte inget /inte det minsta avtryck i resultattavlan
Explanation:
Avtryck avspeglar ju den dubbla betydelsen här av (oftast mer konkreta) "dent"; ett avtryck kan ju vara både abstrakt och högst konkret("fotavtryck"). Dent används ju i något mer bildlig bemärkelse här, jämfört med det mer påtagliga buckla/märke/skavank.

agree  Bjorn Candel: Visst. Och svårt att hitta en motsvarande svensk dubbelbetydelse. Kanske nåt med "utan att märkas"?

Explanation:
To "put a dent" betyder att minska någonting. Används också ofta då man talar om budget, avkastning, osv.

"utan att det påverkade slutresultatet"


Explanation:
Det är ju som sagt bildligt talat, men det behöver inte översättningen vara.
En leaderboard är förvisso också själva resultattavlan, men handlar det snarare om resultatlistan (som ju presenteras på resultattavlan).
