Final team standings from 2018 IRF World Championships

The Team Standings from the 2018 International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Championships held earlier this month in San José, Costa Rica are now available, and we have them for you. We’d previously reported the top 4 of the Men’s, Women’s and Overall Team standings, and we’d wondered about the difference between the USA and Bolivia in the overall standings, as the USA was 2nd in Men’s and 6th in Women’s while Bolivia was 4th in Men’s and 3rd in Women’s with the USA coming out ahead in the Overall standings - 2nd versus 3rd.

It turns out that the points weren’t that close between those 2nd and 3rd place finishes, as the USA was 66 points ahead of Bolivia. There were some other close point differences though. There was only 20 points between 3rd and 5th on the Men’s side with Colombia in 3rd on 216 points, Bolivia 4th with 212 and Canada 5th with 196.

Also, in the Overall standings Guatemala is just two points ahead of Colombia - 414 to 412 - on the strength of their women’s showings, including Gabriela Martinez’s gold medal performance in Women’s Singles.
