The UCI Pumptrack World Championships, which have been held since 2019, are taking place in Switzerland for the second time, on the track inaugurated a year ago in Monthey. From experienced champions to promising young talents, the best specialists in the world will compete to offer a spectacular competition. From qualifying to the final, 37 female athletes and 44 male athletes from all continents will compete on the course with banked turns, waves and whoops.

Sabina Košárková and Eddy Clerté each win their second World Championship title

In the women's event, the two top favorites put their stamp on the competition. Defending champion Sabina Košárková (Czech Republic) and three-time world champion Christa von Niederhäusern (Switzerland) dominated right from the start, going toe-to-toe throughout the various qualifying rounds. In the final, too, the decision is only made in the blink of an eye, with the better end for Sabina Košárková, who completes the course two hundredths of a second faster. The duel for bronze was won by Aline Beck against Latvia's Vineta Petersone. The German thus takes bronze for the second time in her young career.

In the men's event, Eddy Clerté repeats his triumph from 2021. In a thrilling duel with Switzerland's Tristan Borel, the Frenchman completes the final lap 14 hundredths of a second faster and thus wins the fourth gold medal for France at these World Championships. Tristan Borel, on the other hand, secures Switzerland's fifth silver medal. Jesse Elzenga from the Netherlands beat Sirio Grünig from Switzerland in the race for bronze.
