Last Update: June 2025 (comparisons to end of 2024)
The Professional Triathletes Organisation release World Rankings on a weekly basis. These used to be based on my race analysis, creating a strong overlap of their Rankings to my Ratings. Since the start of 2023, the PTO Worlds Rankings are now based on a new points algorithm (details can be found here), putting a stronger emphasis on the prestige or tier of a race and the finishing position and looking at all races longer then Olympic Distance in the last 12 months. The Ratings shown in this post are only based on full-distance races (i.e. not half-distance races such as 70.3 or T100) regardless of where the performance is shown. While the PTO Rankings are based on the last 12 months, my Rankings are based on all races an athlete has raced, with an emphasis on more recent races, but requiring at least three finishes, at least one of them in the last 12 months. Therefore, these Rankings offer a more complete picture of full-distance racing.
