Most improved athletes this winter

Season-to-season improvements in Total Performance Scores of regular World Cup athletes. The last row of both tables shows improvement and decline in overall scores for this season’s World Cup trimester 1 compared to performances in trimester 1 last season (only athletes with at least 5 races this winter). You can do your own season-to-season comparisons for all stats in the Patreon bonus area.

Note: The scores are standard scores (or z-scores), indicating how many standard deviations (SD) an athlete is back from the World Cup mean (negative values indicate performances better than the mean). The Total Performance Score is calculated by approximating the importance of skiing, hit rate and shooting pace using the method of least squares (for more details, see here and here), and then weighting each z-score value accordingly.
