Thomas Pidcock wins bronze at the 2023 Short Track World Championships: until the end he didn't seem very brilliant, or rather, he didn't seem to have the right leg to win. But the class of him came out on the last corner where as soon as he saw some light between the tape and Luca Schwarzbauer.

Well… Well… super disappointed for today. I wasn't the strongest. But that's the moment I lost the bronze medal. But it's never over until it's over. In my opinion, this entry into the last corner was not fair, but everyone can have their own opinion on that. Congratulations to a very strong Sam Gaze who won – Luke Schwarzbauer

"But it's never over until it's overWhat does the German mean with this sentence? For us, Pidcock's entry is borderline but regular: it's about racing. Logical that now the British will have to be careful not to suffer the same entry in the next races (for example on Saturday during the queen race of Cross Country). Below you will find the race report and the video of the crash.

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').
