The final British lady is Jessica Learmonth, who\u2019s in 81st position with 83pts.<\/p>\n<p >1st \u2013 Gwen Jorgensen (USA) 4000<br \/>2nd \u2013 Katie Zaferes (USA) 3645<br \/>3rd \u2013 Andrea Hewitt (NZL) 2910<br \/>4th \u2013 Sarah True (USA) 2632<br \/>5th \u2013 Barbara Riveros (CHI) 2100<br \/>6th \u2013 Aileen Reid (IRL) 2078<br \/>7th \u2013 Emma Moffat (AUS) 1710<br \/>8th \u2013 Vendula Frintova (CZE) 1414<br \/>9th \u2013 Lindsey Jerdonek (USA) 1387<br \/>10th \u2013 Vicky Holland (GBR) 1386\u00a0<\/p>\n<p >Biggest rankings mover: Katrien Verstuyft (BEL) \u2013 from 81st to 56th (265 points)<br \/>Highest new entry to rankings: Sophie Corbridge (NZL) \u2013 51st (367 points)<\/p>\n<p>Men\u2019s standings\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p >After his antics in London last weekend, Alistair Brownlee now has 2340pts and sits in fifth place \u2013 despite only having raced three times so far this season.
