Garnbret slated to skip China WC risking 6th WC title

EDITORIAL

21 September 2023

Janja Garnbret has won all three of the Lead World Cups in 2023 that she has participated in and she will secure her sixth overall title if she is #7 in Wujiang this weekend. However, the Slovenian is not registered to compete in China. Any of the other Top-6 ranked will surpass Janja by winning the last event. For Jessica Pilz and Vita Lukan, placing fourth respectively third, would be enough to surpass Janja (see below). The score is presented by counting four out of five results, including the results needed to overtake Janja. Complete ranking (c) Vladek Zumr

1. Janja Garnbret SLO 3 000 points: Not registered to compete
2. Jessica Pilz AUT 2 430: #4 in China = 3 040
3. Vita Lukan SLO 2 350: #3 = 3 040
4. Chaehyun Seo KOR 2 180: Needs to win
5. Nonoha Kume JPN 2 090: Not registered to compete
6. Jain Kim KOR 2 030: Needs to win

Based on the prerequisites above, there is still a chance for Janja to win overall. Ai Mori has been runner-up after Janja in both the WCs she has done in 2023 and she is the favourite to win in China.
