Explanation
The ranking includes major global competitions, primarily the World Championships and the World Cup. The Olympic Games carry the highest point value. The system is further complemented by continental championships. Team events are awarded triple the points of individual competitions in order to give them greater weight in the nations ranking, but they are not included in the individual rankings.
The achievement and holding of a world record are also rewarded, reflecting a significant performance milestone. In this sport, the “discipline” filter is particularly useful for focusing on specific distances.
