>>42783437french people do, pretty sure some french guys top cut worlds, from 2016 onward iirc top cut became everyone who finished x-2 or better on day 2 of worlds meaning you could finish like 17th overall and still top cut, so this isn't a picture of all the top finishing worlds participants its just t8 from each year to simplify it a bit. this also means that guys in the past who got 9th and bubble out of worlds cut got nothing basically, when today that would be considered a top cut performance.
