Gwendalyn Gibson literally exploded in her homeland, America: precisely in Snowshoe where she won the Short Track test and finished eighth 2 days later in the XCO test, not counting the 2nd place a Mont Sainte Anne always in the Short Track.
He is only 23 and therefore the future is smiling at him. He closed the year with a bronze medal at the Short Track World Championships (12 ^ then in the XCO test), and all this taking into account that he had suffered a serious injury in the first part of the year (rupture of the patella, see post below).
Now she could try the definitive leap in quality by becoming a stable podium top rider given the transition from the Norco team to Trek Factory Racing. There is no doubt that the Trek Factory Racing team is world leader in the women's category, as it can boast Jolanda Neff (Olympic champion) and Evie Richards (world champion) among its staff. Although the arrival of Gibson could kick off some athletes in the team.
The other rumor is the probable end of the Norco Factory Team, given that there is no news of signings or investments in the international XCO sector. We'll see. The team currently has in its ranks Carter Woods, one of the protagonists of the U23 category of recent years and Peter Disera, who at 27 could still have room for improvement.
