Last Update: September 2023 (after men’s World Champs) – comparisons are to Ratings at the end of 2022
For the last few years, the PTO World Rankings have used an algorithm 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 based on new points (details can be found here), putting a stronger emphasis on the prestige or tier of a race and the finishing position. Therefore, it makes sense again to update my Ratings focused on the performance on full-distance races.

Comments:
- New athletes in the Top10: Sam Laidlow, Arthur Horseau, Clement Mignon, Rudy von Berg, Matt Marquardt – most of them are now raced enough for a valid Rating
- The old #6 to #10 have now dropped back: Alistair Brownlee has’t finished an Ironman since Sweden in August 2022, Denis Chevrot (now #15), Florian Angert (now #14), Joe Skipper (now #20), Braden Currie (now #12)
- Gustav Iden – might be the top-ranked athlete, but has only two finishes so far, other athletes with less than three finishes who would be placed well are Gregory Barnaby and Ben Kanute

Comments:

- The only athlete to fall out of the Top10 compared to end of 2022 is Daniela Bleymehl, she is now #15.
- For her, Sara Svensk has finished IM Germany and has finally secured a valid Rating again
