He's currently ranked 42 or 43 I believe, but Engels is ranked 12 in the world currently.
Centro

that'll be the team
LRC note. The OP is incorrect. Hocker is 100% going to be on the team due to his world ranking. It will get a huge boost after tonight.
We will pay out $100,000 if his world ranking is not high enough to get him on the team ($10,000 per year for 10 years).
Tonight's race should be worth 1271 ranking points (1171 points for the time + 100 bonus points for the win). That will raise his world ranking by a ton as it will replace his lowest scoring event (1120). So he gains 151 points (divided by 5) so 30 points.
He'll move up to #26 in the world rankings. He'll literally be the first guy into the Olympics on world ranking. 38 guys have the standard. He'll be in at #39 and they take 45. His ranking is higher than everyone in the world who doesn't have the standard which makes sense as he's run 3:35 low twice.
If he is busted for doping and gets a 4 year ban and does not go, will Letsrun pay off?
Does Hocker get in if he had finished in 2nd place?
Did Centro ease up so Hocker got the win and the bonus points?
