It is the middle of the week and for all SUP Race nerds we have quick update on the latest standings in the SUP World Rankings. As predicted the movements in the SWR started to slow down due to the lack of big activities as most Elite Athletes are racing in various places in the world right now. There fore we are taking a break with the detailed list, but take a look at some notable changes.
Men Longdistance
Donato Freens remains comfortably in the lead and added one race since the EURO TOUR in Barcelona. He won the Battle of the Bay last weekend in England.
Both Rai Taguchi and Shuri Araki remain in place 2 and 3 followed by Filippo Mercuriali in 4th. Aaron Sanchez and Michael Booth did not add any points this weekend either and stay in 5th and 6th place.
Blue Ewer was able to inch up a spot thanks to his 2nd place at the Battle of the Bay.
We do have new name in the top 10 and that is the Brazilian Eri Tenorio, he won the Saquarema Aloha Spirit Paddle Festival in Brazil.
Ladies Longdistance
Marie Carmen Rivera remains on top but Esperanza Barreras moved up one spot trading places with Juliette DuHaime from 3rd to 2nd.
Iona Rivet is back in the top 10 with her win at the Tour de l\’ĂŽle Vertime and Melanie Lafenetre with her win at the 14th SUP Race Cup.
Ladies Tech. Race
In the top half of the 10 nothing changed but we have Marta Apanasewicz from Poland entering the top 10 in 6th place. Also new in the list is Supatchaya Kanthon from Thailand in 8th place.
Men Tech. Race
The top 3 are still in place with Filippo Mercuriali, Rai Taguchi and Donato Freens. The big move came from Itzel Delgado moving from 7th to 4th with his win at the SUP Addict Championship #4 in Thailand.
As far as the SUP Worlds Top Ten list this pretty much summons things up.
The weekend ahead looks very busy but it is hard to tell which race will be have a high ranking and the attendance needed to score in the SWR.
