AFTER SLIPPING TO No. 2 in ’19 after 3 straight years as No. 1, Nafi Thiam returned to the top spot. She did it with relative ease totaling a world-leading 6791 for a 102-point margin in the race to the top step of the podium… Anouk Vetter, runner-up in both Götzis and Tokyo, was an equally clear No. 2…
THEN IT GOT SLIGHTLY GOOFY, with Olympic 3rd- and 4th-placers Emma Oosterwegel and Noor Vidts having unimpressive backup meets, so they each drop a spot… Moving ahead of the pair is 5th-placer Kendell Williams, 3rd at Götzis and 2nd at the Olympic Trials. OT winner Annie Kunz, 6th in Tokyo gets No. 6 ahead of Götzis champ Xénia Krizsán,, just 13th in Japan…
ERICA BOUGARD as No. 8 gives the U.S. a trio of Rankers for the first time since ’98 (JJK 2, Kelly Blair-LaBounty 7, DeDee Nathan 8)…
