WITH NONE OF THE CONTENDERS going undefeated, the task became juggling the qualities of each’s wins vs. losses. WC fave Sander Aae Skotheim topped the yearly list with an 8909 win at Götzis but lost an argument with a hurdle in Tokyo and DNFed. He ended up No. 4…
LEO NEUGEBAUER, the ’24 list leader, was well out of it in his Götzis 5th but that combined with his crucial WC win was enough for No. 1…
KYLE GARLAND AND Ayden Owens-Delerme took the other two podium spots but the American’s markedly superior 3-meet average (8733–8583) was enough to reverse their standings here…
TOTALS DROP OFF after the first 4, with Niklas Kaul and Johannes Erm earning 5 and 6. Kaul had scored wins over Neugebauer and Erm in Götzis.
