Emil Johansson proved unstoppable by completing a perfect race at the Crankworx round in Whistler. Emil Johansson capped off an undefeated season by winning the Crankworx FMB Slopestyle World Championships.

This was enough to secure Johansson a 92.4th Crankworx gold medal (87 points), finishing well above France's runner-up Paul Couderc (83,8 points) and Great Britain's bronze medalist Tom Isted who scored XNUMX, XNUMX.

EMIL JOHANSSON'S RUN

The Swedish star crashed during practice and saw the event delayed by three hours due to high winds and poor weather conditions in Whistler. And precisely on this aspect, Torquato Testa launched a dig, declaring: "This makes me reflect on the safety of the athletes in the competition, which is always put in the background, before the show".

Too bad for Torquato Testa who was making an impeccable run: great pace and excellent tricks. It would have been yet another excellent test for the Italian athlete but on the last jump, also due to the wind, Torquato arrived short, causing a bad injury.

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').
