The PTO World Rankings have been updated to include the stunning performances from the PTO 2020 Championship at CHALLENGEDAYTONA® in December.
Gustav Iden and Paula Findlay claimed brilliant victories in Florida to climb into the top 10 and increase their hopes of earning a coveted automatic qualification spot at the 2021 Collins Cup.
Iden’s outstanding performance in the men’s race saw the previously unranked Norwegian claim the #3 spot, putting him firmly in contention for Team Europe’s Collins Cup side.
Findlay’s dominant display in the women’s race saw the Canadian rise to #8 thanks to a haul of 110.25 ranking points.
