Since September 2023 we did not have a change of the leaders, neither in the Men’s, nor in the Women’s Aquabike.World ranking. Frank Erk and Monika Lukens also both took the lead in the all time ranking during this period, which is the ranking including all results since January 1st 2021.
For as much as 588 days Monika Lukens was leading the Women’s Ranking. Since taking the lead on September 27th, 2023, she competed in no less than 20 aquabike races, taking quite a few wins and a silver and a bronze medal in the US aquabike nationals in the process.
The new leader started the first ever aquabike national championships in Great Britain as prerace favourite. In a close race she finished in 4th place overall, 55 seconds behind the winner and missing the podium by just two seconds. The silver medal in her age group was perhaps a small consolation.
While she only just missed out on the podium in the race, the result was just as close enough to take the lead in the Aquabike.World ranking. With the 364 points she gained for her result, she passed Monika Lukens in the rankings by just 2 points.
