Schloesser back as world number one again alongside Fullerton

Mike Schloesser has returned to the top of the compound men’s world rankings following World Archery’s monthly ranking updates.

After his second-place finish at the recent Nimes Archery Tournament, ‘Mister Perfect’ joins – rather than overtakes – Gwangju 2025 Hyundai World Archery Championships and Nanjing 2025 Hyundai Archery World Cup Final silver medallist Mathias Fullerton at the summit of the category.

Both archers now sit as world number one in compound men on 402 points.

“I'm super happy to be back on the number one spot,” said Schloesser who is competing this weekend at the annual Lancaster Archery Classic. “Somehow it's really funny after our battle for the number one spot over the last year, now we are sharing it.”

“It's a great way to keep the battle going.”

Schloesser previously held the top ranking outright for four years, before Denmark’s Fullerton overtook the Dutchman last September following his victory at the European Field Championships.

There was also a change in recurve men, where Nimes bronze medallist Marcus D’Almeida swapped places with all-time great Brady Ellison to move from world number two to number one.

The top spots in compound women and recurve women remain unchanged, Andrea Becerra and Kang Chaeyoung respectively.
