2022 Overall Rankings
1. Yoshiyuki Ogata JPN - Natalia Grossman USA
2. Tomoa Narasaki JPN - Miho Nonaka JPN
3. Kokoro Fujii JPN - Brooke Raboutou USA
Japan has dominated the last ten years and 2022 was possibly their best year ever with eight guys in the Top-19. There just might be ten males from Japan in the semifinal and four in the final. 16-year-old Soratu Anraku won the last cup so he is the new star to look out for.
Among the female, Natalia Grossman won the last five events in 2022 but she is actually not the favourite to win as she has had a harsh winter dealing with unknown stomach issue after food poison. In March she reported on Insta, with a picture laying in a hospital bed. Japan has eleven females competing with Miho Nonaka as the biggest challenger.
