Here's a conundrum for the TFN rankers:
What if an athlete were to win an event at the 2008 WAF:
1: against four 2008 OG finalists (6th, 7th, 11th, 12th)?
2: but not the first 5 from the OG?
3: and against the #4 jumper on performances (and most consistent on GP circuit)?
4: but in a performance that ranking =28th on the yearly list and was a seasonal best?
5: and had 1 GP win, and a few placings?
6: but didn't make the Olympic final?
Would they be any chance for a top 10 ranking?...given this is supposedly a meet of some note...
I'm asking about Fabrice Lapierre, who snuck into the LJ at the WAF only after others ahead of him chose not to attend (he was 8th on the standings), and after a win in Zagreb got him that as high as 8th...
