The eras this page's records fall in are drawn solid; the others are hollow.
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.
Titles on the record (2)
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.

Results
2019 · Confirmed
At the 2019 World Finals he won Masters Ski Stock, winning both motos, with race number 217.
Sources: 2019 World Finals Tuesday results
2017 · Confirmed
At the 2017 World Finals he was second in Pro-Am Ski Stock, second in both motos, and 14th in Pro-Am Runabout Stock, with race number 217.
Sources: 2017 World Finals Saturday results; 2017 World Finals Sunday results
2004 · Likely
At the 2004 World Finals he won the first moto of Pro Ski Superstock. The class names Pro Ski Superstock and Pro Runabout 1200 Superstock are printed on the moto sheet and not on the points sheets, whose points match the moto placings. The Pro Ski points sheet lists him third on 123 and the Pro Runabout points sheet lists him third on 139, each placing read from the order of the points sums; the sheet prints no placing. Boat number 217 is printed on both, with Yamaha Europe and Yamalube among the sponsors beside him.

1999 · Likely
The 1999 sheet ranks him first in Pro Ski 785 SS and fourth in Pro Runabout 785 SS, on a Yamaha in the runabout class. It prints no race numbers, so the archive ties it to the later sheets by the name, the Pro Ski class and the Yamaha. That tie is an inference.

Recognition
The association's hall of fame lists Nicolas Rius among its 2006 inductees. The roster gives names only, so linking it to the racer on these sheets rests on the name.

What the archive has not read (4)
- The association's champions page also lists him for Pro Ski in 1993 and 1994, Pro-Am Sport in 1997 and Pro Runabout 1200 in 1998, 2000 and 2005. The archive holds no result sheet for those years (checked 2026-10-05 against the sheets held for 1999, 2004, 2008, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019 and the 2013 entry list), so none is a title here.
- The 2004 and 2008 sheets print no event or year in their text; both come from the addresses the association published them at (checked 2026-10-05).
- The 2008 World Finals results list a Nicholas Rius tenth in Pro Runabout Open and 13th in GP Ski. The spelling differs and the sheet prints no race number, so those rows are not merged with him (checked 2026-10-05).
- A local newspaper report of October 2019 gives a career count of world championships for him. The archive has not read the sheets behind that count and does not hold the report in its mirror, so the count is not printed here (checked 2026-10-05).

Overall results by class for the World Finals of 10 to 17 October 1999, extracted from the association's PDF. The extract lets the hometown and maker columns drift against the names in places, so only a name and the position printed on the same line are read as one row.

Heats, last-chance qualifiers and motos by pro class. The hometown column drifts against the names throughout, so it is never read as a rider's own. Event and year come from the file's address.
- 2004 World Finals Pro Ski overall (web.archive.org): 2004 World Finals, Pro Ski overall points (PDF, Wayback capture), International Jet Sports Boating Association, 2004; sanctioning body, high. Pro Ski overall points by boat, name, hometown and sponsors, with three motos and the sum. One rider who rode all three motos is missing from this overall, so the sheet is read with the moto sheets.
- 2004 World Finals Pro Runabout overall (web.archive.org): 2004 World Finals, Pro Runabout overall points (PDF, Wayback capture), International Jet Sports Boating Association, 2004; sanctioning body, high. Pro Runabout overall points by boat, with three motos and the sum. The sheet prints no position column and its cells drift out of line partway down the list, so an overall position read from it is an inference.
- IJSBA hall of fame page (ijsba.com): The Jacobsen-Stjernstrom IJSBA Hall of Fame (IJSBA page), International Jet Sports Boating Association; sanctioning body, high. The association's own roster, read on 22 September 2026, giving the hall's name, its creation and dedication in 2006, and inductees by year to 2014, names only. It publishes no selection criteria and no citation for anyone.
