Justyna and Katinka appear together in 1 published list, across 24 years of shared records. Justyna held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Katinka in 0.
The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.
Justyna reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Katinka in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.
Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
