The reason I responded here is that I questioned your lists on Twitter before and never really got an answer except your explaining your methodology, which is not what I'm looking for. Also, 280 characters just isn't enough. Lastly, since this costs money to get people on here have a right to know what they're buying. I won't be buying it as I have no faith in your lists.
Here you've once again done the same. I can see the numbers that lead to Shirahata getting a higher score than Bergsma, but as I said that's not the problem. The problem is that you accept this outcome as fact as if your methodology is perfect. But if you get an outcome this wrong (you won't convince you actually believe that Shirahata was even close to how good Bergsma was/is) then you need to change your formula.
Another massive error that comes to mind in march 2023, after the WSD, you ranked Joy Beune above Ragne Wiklund on the 5k (
https://www.skoyteranking.net/mar2023-kvinner) as you still counted a 7:31 Wiklund skated in Stavanger in 2017 as a 17-year old. I understand that on the longest distance data can be sparse, but this was just ridiculous. Wiklund has skated a 6:46, 6:52, 6:56, 6:56, 6:56, & 6:57 in the past two seasons (all her sub 7:00 times), got a silver medal at the WSD and 5th place on the Olympics. Beune only skated a 6:58 & 6:59 under 7 minutes and didn't even participate in the Olympics or WSD.
Could be worse, as Arianna Pruisscher, who skated only four 5k's in her lifetime (two in 2016 as a junior and two in 2022) and never under 7:04, is somehow ranked 7th while Beune and Wiklund are ranked 10th and 11th respectively.
I'm not interested in why exactly these rankings roll out of your formula. No, I want to know why you think your methodology creates an accurate list while it has such weird rankings.
(Sorry voor al het Engels op het forum maar het is belangrijk dat dit goed overkomt).
