More than nine months later and Van Gorkom today has announced he has officially retired from the sport.

He had been in a coma for two weeks after his accident, which was caused by a chain still being on the bottom of the starting ramp that nobody had removed yet. When he woke up, he couldn't walk, couldn't talk and only had a confused look in his eyes. Nowadays he can walk without any help if it's not too far and he can do some light work on an indoor bike, so he is definitely on the long, long road to recovery and a 'normal life'. Considering the circumstances, it's mostly good news.

UCI BMX Freestyle Park (and Flatland) World Cup: overall winners crowned in Chengdu

 

 

The fourth and final round of the UCI BMX Freestyle Park and Flatland World Cup saw the overall winners crowned in the Chinese city of Chengdu.

The action came just days before the start of the UCI Urban Cycling World Championships which will be held in the same city, and where the BMX Freestyle Park specialists will battle for the rainbow jersey.

Top performer in the semi-finals, American Dennis Enarson looked set to win the Chengdu World Cup round after an impressive first run in the finals. However, that was without counting on Australian Jake Wallwork who put in an unbeatable second run to take the victory. Declan Brooks (Great Britain) came third.

 

 

The overall winner of the 2018 UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup is Croatia’s :CRO Marin Rantes, who finishes the season in front of :VEN Venezuelan Daniel Dhers. :USA Nick Bruce completes the overall podium despite a crash in the qualifications in Chengdu preventing him from going any further in the Chinese round of the series.

 

For the third consecutive year, :USA Hannah Roberts is the overall winner of the women’s UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup. The American finished second in the Chengdu round which saw victory go to :GER Germany’s Lara Lessman, 18, who recently won gold at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Lessman finishes the World Cup season in second place overall. :SUISwitzerland’s Nikita Duccarroz was third in Chengdu and third in the overall World Cup ranking.

 

 

 

BMX Freestyle Park qualifications at the UCI Urban Cycling World Championships get under way on Friday, November 10th.

    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
