Three happy champions with gold medals after a mountain bike race. Emotions and victories in the world of cycling.

Vali Höll became the first Austrian downhill world champion after an incredible run where she managed not to make mistakes. Less than a second, the German Nina Hoffmann. Myriam Nicole failed to win at home and wins a bronze medal.

Fantastic performance by Camille Balanche who, despite only recently having underwent surgery, crossed the finish line in fourth place. Too bad for Eleonora Farina, author of a crash that otherwise would have led her to significantly improve her time.

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
