The 26-year-old athlete from Union Trendsport Weichberger St. World Championship. But this time Dusek crashed spectacularly at the finish line and was narrowly beaten by the local champ in a photo finish. Spain’s Lucas Ejebar finished third, behind Grondin and Dusque.

On the home stretch, there are two waves I ride in the first three runs in such a way that I jumped wide on the first and landed after the second. In the grand finale, I took more risks and decided to “swallow” the first wave in order to get Elliot (Grondin, n.d.) up to speed. It didn’t work, on the contrary – it took off very badly,” Childer Dusek, who desperately wanted to win his first World Cup this time. “But today, unlike the World Cup, centimeters were not on my side,” he complains. And: “The way my body feels right now, I’m going to spend some time with our physiotherapist in the afternoon!”
