Dear athletes,
The OFFICIAL and final results.

Thank you for participating at
the California Open | IKO World Championship 2025 !

Congratulations with your performance!

Individual Diplomas in PDF high resolution printable quality are coming today!

As the result of two appeals we were able to find and fix two mistakes:
1. Shalini Singh
Sn**ch result is 155reps ( previously was mistakenly miscounted to 145reps)
That is giving her 162.5 points of Biathlon ( including her 85 reps Jerk)
And putting on the FIRST PLACE.
Congratulations!

2. Peter Hayward
Jerk result 164reps ( previously was mistakenly mistyped to 64reps)
That is giving Peter 270.5 points of Biathlon ( including his 213 reps Sn**ch)
Remaining on the FIRST PLACE.

*** Please find Shalini’s and Peter’s performance video links in comment section. ***
