Eric Roussin Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I’m sure some of you are into stats, so I whipped some historical King Kong facts and figures together. The following individuals have competed in at least three King Kong contests and have averaged a Top 20 finish in the overall standings. In brackets you will see the competitor’s average placing, his highest placing, his lowest placing, and the number of times he has competed. They are listed in descending order of average placing. 1 - Tanner Merkle (Av:2.00; H:1; L:4; Times:4) 2 - Jake Sahlaney (Av:4.00; H:3; L:5; Times:3) 3 - Kody Burns (Av:4.60; H:2; L:10; Times:5) T4 - Gil Goodman (Av:5.50; H:1; L:10; Times:6) T4 - Harri Tolonen (Av:5.50; H:4; L:8; Times:4) T6 - Jedd Johnson (Av:6.50; H:1; L:15; Times:8) T6 - Jesse Pynnönen (Av:6.50; H:2; L:14; Times:4) 8 - Jouni Mähönen (Av:9.57; H:2; L:21; Times:7) 9 - Arto Joronen (Av:10.40; H:6; L:14; Times:5) 10 - Alexandr Asinovskiy (Av:10.67; H:4; L:22; Times:3) 11 - Eric Roussin (Av:11.63; H:6; L:21; Times:8) 12 - Thomas Larsen (Av:11.75; H:9; L:15; Times:4) 13 - Joel Dircks (Av:12.50; H:9; L:16; Times:4) 14 - Kladiev Anton (Av:12.67; H:8; L:15; Times:3) 15 - Lucas Raymond (Av:14.00; H:6; L:35; Times:6) 16 - Ivan Pupchenko (Av:15.33; H:9; L:30; Times:6) 17 - Steve Millard (Av:16.50; H:13; L:23; Times:4) 18 - Sirko Petermann (Av:16.67; H:11; L:22; Times:3) 19 - Juha Lehtimäki (Av:17.00; H:15; L:20; Times:4) 20 - Dave Thornton (Av:19.50; H:5; L:50; Times:4) 21 - Abrikoskov Vladimir (Av:19.67; H:15; L:28; Times:3) Tanner Merkle and Alexey Tyukalov are tied for the most overall wins at two each.
