I was just peeking at the seasonal progressions in the men's 100 and was stunned to see that the logical answer for who will be the top-rated men's century for the year will be...... nobody!
A lack of dominance rarely seen.
Nobody who has a decent shot at the top 10 won even half his races all year.
The two biggest races were the WC and GPF. The WC winner finished 6th in the GPF; the GPF winner finished 6th in the WC.
Only one guy made the first 5 in both the WC and GPF.
Nobody was the outright winner of more than one Golden League race and two GL races had ties for 1st.
The WC medalists were nonexistent at the GL meets: the gold medalist ran in 1 (finishing 3rd), the bronze and silver medalists appeared in none (and thus didn't make the cut for the GP Final).
The World Rankings panel is going to have fun with this one!
