How we know: Each bar runs the years printed on that era's panel, and which eras a page falls in is the archive's grouping of its records, not the length of anyone's career.

Each read off a results document the archive holds: a result sheet, or, for a season's title, the body's own champions grid or season table, with the name as that document prints it.

2025 · Confirmed
The UIM grid prints a name and a country only. The UIM's 2025-26 yearbook prints Benedicte DRANGE (NOR) among its 2025 world champions in Class Pro - Parallel Slalom - Ski Ladies GP1 and first in that class in its 2025 world results, so the name, country, class and year agree with the grid. Its season report says she won six of the nine Motos in Ski Ladies GP1, that two retirements cost her in that class, and that the World Slalom title went to her.

2025 · Confirmed
The same yearbook's 2025 results place her third in the world championship's Circuit - Ski Ladies GP1 class and second in the European championship's Circuit - Ski Ladies GP1 class.
2024 and 2025 · Likely
The promoter's final standings for the world championship circuit print Benedicte Drange, Norway, third in Ski Ladies GP1 in 2024, with 165 points in a table of 12 riders, and again in 2025, with 172 points in a table of 14. The held copy keeps only the first three rows of each season's table.

2025 · Likely
The promoter's report of the last round of the 2025 world championship, at Old Doha Port in Qatar on 1 November 2025, says a fuel pump failure in Moto 1 had ruled her out of the title race, that she won Moto 2 and, by 8.426 seconds, the final Moto of Ski Ladies GP1, and that she finished third in the world championship.
The International Jet Sports Boating Association's results for Tuesday 8 October of its 2019 World Finals place a Benedicte Drange first in Amateur Women Ski Lites, on number 105 and a Yamaha. The page prints no country, so reading that entry as the rider of the UIM rows rests on the name and the women's ski class, which is the archive's inference.

What the archive has not read (2)
- The held copy of the UIM's continental grid, read 2026-10-05, prints the 2026 Ski Ladies GP1 championship as under way, so no 2026 title is claimed here.
- No UIM result sheet for a single round is held for her (searched the archive's mirror and research cache for her name, 2026-10-19), so her UIM results rest on the grids, the UIM's 2025-26 yearbook and the promoter's standings and report.
Documents cited on this page
- UIM champions grid World (uim.sport): UIM Champions grid, Aquabike World, every non-junior class, 2001 to 2026 (uim.sport, read 5 October 2026), Union Internationale Motonautique; sanctioning body, high. The world governing body's own list of its Aquabike world champions, read through the page's own discipline and class filters and held as one text, class by class, with year, class, country and name exactly as the grid prints them. The page has one address whatever the filter, so the part after # names the filter and is not part of the address. The grid starts in 2001, prints no 2007 or 2008 row in several classes, prints some names with a typing slip (AL ALBDULRAZZAQ for 2015), prints two riders for some years in parallel slalom without saying why, and its country column is often the licensing federation rather than the rider's own country (Lee Stone as BRAZIL, European riders as UAE). No placings below first and no machines.
- UIM champions grid Continental (uim.sport): UIM Champions grid, Aquabike Continental, every non-junior class, 1996 to 2026 (uim.sport, read 5 October 2026), Union Internationale Motonautique; sanctioning body, high. The same UIM grid filtered to its continental (European) championships, held as one text, class by class, from 1996. Same page and address as the world grid; the part after # names the filter. The grid's world list starts in 2001, so its 1996 to 2000 rows here are continental titles, which some secondary lists call world titles. Country is often the licensing federation.
- UIM yearbook 2025-26 Ski Ladies results (uim.sport): UIM Yearbook 2025-26, published June 2026 (PDF text read from www.uim.sport, excerpt of the 2025 aquabike report, champions pages and Ski Ladies GP1 results), Union Internationale Motonautique, 2026-06; sanctioning body, high. The governing body's yearbook, printed "UIM Yearbook 2025-26" and dated June 2026 in its publication line, read here for the 2025 aquabike season: the season report's passage on Ski Ladies GP1, two entries of its 2025 world champions pages, and the first three of the world Circuit and Parallel Slalom Ski Ladies GP1 classes and of the European Circuit Ski Ladies GP1 class. High for the 2025 results the UIM prints. The held copy is an excerpt. The same yearbook's officers' lists are cited as UIM yearbook 2025-26.

The promoter's season standings for Runabout GP1, Ski Division GP1, Ski Ladies GP1 and Freestyle, one fragment per season and class, read from the address the standings page loads them from, kept as rank, rider, licence country and season points for the first three, with the size of each table. Medium as the promoter's own tables restated in a reader's parse, not the UIM's record; it agrees with the UIM grid on every champion it covers. The held copy's 2012 tables for three classes are empty. The country is the licence country.

The promoter's report of the last round of the 2025 world championship, the article body as captured the day after, reduced to text. It gives the four world titles settled that day, the Grand Prix winners and, in each class report, the final championship order of the leading riders. Medium as the promoter's own report.
