In a tricky Round 2, only 10 participants beat their 2025 average, and many hit their backstop of 100 less than their 2025 average. Icebergs and Stream were the two teams with two of these strong showings (Aleksei Daniliuk and Ekaterina Nuzdina, and Denis Auroux and Desirée Wilson, respectively), but it was Édouard Lebeau and Michael Kreiger’s only slightly under-par performances that meant Stream took their second maximum. It was a very tight week, and the Reds showed their depth with four good performances; Weifan Wang, Richard Luhtaru, Giorgia Benassi and Diana Grigoreva.
This leaves Stream pretty much nailed on for a playoff spot already and quite a lot to do to catch up Icebergs and Titans.
