Techncially, Carlsen should not be called world champion in chess currently. All 12 matches were draws, the decision came (clealry) in rapid chess matches afterwards (three wins). Thus Carlsen is by that outcome world champion in rapids.

Carlsen is listed number one in rapids, too. Caruana is I think nr. 17 in world ranking.
