2023 Women’s Javelin World Rankings

Winner Haruka Kitaguchi threw her seasonal best, 221-1 (67.38) at the Brussels DL. (GLADYS CHAI/ASVOM AGENCY)

JAPAN’S FIRST-EVER No. 1 here came by her rating in convincing fashion, winning the essential WC/DLF combo and having by far the best sequence of marks. She moved up from No. 3 in ’22…

THE BATTLE FOR No. 2 between Mackenzie Little and Flor Dennis Ruiz was close. Little was behind Ruiz at the Worlds, but had big wins in Lausanne and Yokohama, whereas Ruiz missed most of the big meetings and didn’t throw as far as the Aussie…

RESULTS WERE quite chaotic with little consistency and at quite a low standard beyond the top end. Few athletes met one-another very often, so there were not many decisive win-loss records.
