The March 2012 edition of WMF world rankings is published. So far it’s only for the general class. The changes from the November 2011 edition is not very big and has more to do with what years can be counted and also junior players becoming seniors.
On the ladies side the dominating star of 2011, Bianca Zodrow of Germany is now also taking over the WMF top position from Karin Heschl Austria, now a fifth position when the 2009 season is not counting anymore. New on second position is Austrias Elisabeth Gruber, who was fighting for the team gold in Stockholm with Bianca. Third position is now held by Yvonne Klukas of Switzerland.
Best new juniors on the seniors ranking are Anne Bollrich of Germany on 11th position, Melanie Schwarz of Austria on 28th and Frida Elmdahl of Sweden on 29th.

2. Elisabeth Gruber, Austria 2365 points
3. Yvonne Klukas, Switzerland 2344 points
