Wow… What a weekend of racing we’ve just witnessed. We’ll have a full recap from the 2015 Naish Columbia Gorge Paddle Challenge up shortly, but in the meantime here are the results from the Elite Races and changes to the world rankings.

The Gorge had a massive impact on the World Rankings – check out the updated Men’s Top 100 Leaderboard to find out who the new world number one is.

Annabel Anderson (clean sweep), Danny Ching (course) and Kelly Margetts (distance) were the champions, with amazingly consistent performances from Travis Grant (two runner-up finishes to claim the overall “Waterman” award) and Titouan Puyo, who scored third in both races to make a big jump on the rankings.

Scroll down below the results to re-live our play-by-play live blog from Saturday and Sunday. Thanks for tuning in.
