A NEW YEAR, a new leader as the last 5 editions have produced a different No. 1 each time: Christian Taylor, Pedro Pichardo, Andy Díaz, Hugues Fabrice Zango and now Jordan Alejandro Díaz.
TAYLOR HAS NOW RETIRED, but the other 4 remained very much active, filling the top end of this year’s ratings, in the order JA Díaz, Pichardo, Díaz, Zango…
COMPLETELY ABSENT from DL competition, JA Díaz was nonetheless the only possible choice, going undefeated, topping the yearly list and winning Olympic gold…
PODIUM PARTNERS Pichardo and Díaz backed up those high finishes with the 2-3 Rankings… Still just 19, Jaydon Hibbert had too thin a record to stay at No. 4 and reverses places with Zango.
