FINA World Cup Leaderboard Update -- November 12, 2007
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, November 12. WITH the Stockholm, Sweden stop of the FINA World Cup series just a day away, FINA announced the updated circuit leaderboard after the Moscow, Russia stop. The series is at its busiest time, as three meets will be held over the course of just more than a week.
The United States' Randall Bal witnessed his commanding 35-point lead be trimmed to 30 points, 95-65, after Russia's Nikolay Skvortsov went off in his homeland. South Africa's Roland Schoeman, meanwhile, remained in third with a 32-point tally.
For the women, the United States' Natalie Coughlin hung onto a slim five-point advantage after previously owning a 30-point lead over Sweden's Therese Alshammar. Coughlin, who took a hiatus from the circuit until the final stop in Belo Horizonte, still remained in front, 70-65. Alshammar's teammate Josefin Lillhage moved into third with 30 points.
While there are various other event-win and world-record bonuses included in the prize money allocated for the World Cup series, the overall winners receive $100,000, while those placing second and third overall will receive $50,000 and $30,000, respectively.
