Šerkezi and Teste cheer in the juniors - Switzerland celebrates two medals
The second day of the 2025 Cross-Country World Championships in Crans-Montana is all about the youngsters. Maruša Tereza Šerkezi takes Slovenian gold in the junior category. The Slovenian beat Switzerland's Anja Grossmann by a margin of 1 minute and 13 seconds to win her second World Championship medal in 24 hours after bronze in the mixed relay. Barbora Bukovska from the Czech Republic finished third, almost three minutes behind the winner. The best Austrian is Antonia Grangl in ninth place.
The fans were also treated to an exciting race in the juniors. Namibian Roger Suren attacks on the penultimate lap, but France's Lucas Teste counters impressively and rides to the world title after seven laps in 1:14:49 hours. This is Teste's second gold medal at these World Championships after winning gold in the mixed relay with the French team. Suren from Namibia took the silver medal, 11 seconds behind the winner, while Lewin Iten from Switzerland rode to bronze with a strong performance, 31 seconds behind the winner. This is also his second medal after the relay race. The two Austrians Valentin Hofer and Maks Alfred Barret Maunz follow in fourth and fifth place. The best German is Elias Huckmann in ninth place.
