THIS WAS A FUN ONE. What do you do with an Olympic gold medalist who had only one other meet, and finished 4th in that one? Thus it was decided that Arshad Nadeem could be no higher than No. 5 even though he climbed to No 6 on the all-time list…
MEANWHILE, BACK AT No. 1: reigning leader Neeraj Chopra vs. ’22’s winner Anderson Peters for the top spot was likewise not clear-cut. Chopra didn’t score any DL wins, but was at 3–2 narrowly ahead of Peters. Peters, for his part, picked up a trio of DL wins. Razor-thin edge to the Indian for his better Paris placing…
CURTIS THOMPSON claimed the preeminent U.S. spot for the fourth year in a row, his ninth straight in the country’s Top 10.
