20-year-old Jacob Holting Nilsson and 19-year-old Elmer Andersson, coached by the distinguished Rasmus Jonsson, reached another important milestone in their young team’s journey. In Gstaad, they started from the qualifications and made it all the way to the second place on the podium, earning their first Elite-level hardware. The silver came with 1,100 World Ranking points, the highest amount they have collected from a single tournament. Their new ninth best result was dropped from their score, so they netted 800 points towards a new total of 4,880, which lifted them seven positions to number 10, the highest this Swedish duo has ever reached.
Gold medalists Cherif Younousse & Ahmed Tijan of Qatar, former World Ranking leaders, now climbed two spots from last week’s number seven to return among the top five for the first time since October 2023. They pocketed the 440-point difference between the 1,200 points that came with last week’s gold and their fifth-place result at Gstaad 2024 and improved to a 5,720 total.
