World Sailing have published the Olympic classes World Rankings for 2022 updated as at 8 Feb 2022.
Of the British Sailing Squad only John Gimson and Anna Burnet in the Nacra 17 class hold a No.1 world ranking.
These rankings reflect the ten classes to be used in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and are administered by World Sailing.
2022 brings an improved Fleet Rankings model with the aim of balancing the weighting of regattas to better reflect non-European Sailors and to promote and reward new and developing Regattas.
Each competitor counts their best six results over the previous 12 Months. The time period is calculated on a rolling basis from the date that rankings were published.
