Mol & Sorum back on top of the World Ranking!

With the expiration of the 2024 Tepic Elite16 points, Ahman & Hellvig lost the full amount of 1,200 points, as they are now down to seven qualifying tournaments, one fewer that the allowed eight. Meanwhile, Mol & Sorum, who did not play in Tepic, but pocketed the full 1,000 points that came with their bronze in Brasilia as it was their eighth ranking tournament within the last 365 days, collected a new total of 8,600 points to emerge as the new world’s number one team, leaving the Swedish jump-setters in second place on 7,220.

Last week’s Brasilia winners Stefan Boermans & Yorick de Groot of the Netherlands, also a former number one in the world, now gained two positions from their fifth place last week and climbed to number three this week, on a total of 6,840 points. As they had the points from a quarterfinal finish in Tepic, they netted only 440 of the 1,200 points earned in Brasilia. Previous number three, Paris 2024 Olympic silver medalists Nils Ehlers & Clemens Wickler of Germany, had a fourth place in Tepic and did not appear in Brasilia, and that caused them a drop to sixth place.
