Rating the rankings | A column by Len Johnson
Regular readers will know that this column loves the annual rankings lists.
If there’s one thing better than watching a year’s athletics unfold around the world, it’s reading about how respected observers of the sport rate the way things have gone. Whether it is done by popular vote or detailed analysis and discussion by expert panels, there is a fascination in exercises which rank athletes in order of merit.
At which point you need to consider a corollary: if there’s a second thing better than watching a year’s athletics unfold it is to pick apart and discuss – did someone say argue about? – the lists produced by popular or expert deliberations.

As this extraordinary year draws to a close, we look back at the key moments of 2020 in each area of the sport. The series continues today with a review of the jumping disciplines.
Men’s high jump
While Covid-19 seems to have impacted this event in a big way, performance levels were already down before the pandemic struck.
Five athletes shared an indoor world lead of 2.33m earlier in the year, the lowest world indoor lead in 37 years. Outdoors, only one jumper, 22-year-old Maksim Nedasekau from Belarus, jumped 2.33m – the lowest world lead for 39 years.
