Current Superfan Rankings Leaders

Who are the leading athletes in my Superfan Rankings in each event? They're listed below.

Note that these use last year as a starting point, but athletes who start their season earlier than others gain a bit of advantage. These are based on past performance and are not a predictor of future value.

I've also listed the top American in each event.

EDIT: Martin Bingisser (below) reminded me that hammer leader Kozmus has retired. That makes Krisztián Pars my HT leader. Bingisser will appear in the rankings if he can get the ball & chain out past 74.67 meters, which has been right around the world's top 50 lately. He threw 65.88 at Mt. SAC this past weekend.
