In intense competition, the 23-year-old freestyle BMX player took silver with a score of 93.91 in his second run, following an impressive 93.70 in his first run. Despite his meritorious performance, he was unable to beat Argentina's José Torres Gil, who took gold with a score of 94.82. The young athlete had previously topped the qualifiers at Plaça de la Concordia on Tuesday, becoming the last to compete in the nine-strong field.
Completing his second race, the reigning world champion was overcome with emotion, sank to his knees and dropped his bike. Her support staff, which included Tokyo 2020 BMX women's freestyle champion Charlotte Worthington, were also visibly moved when the score was announced.
The bronze medal was claimed by crowd favorite Anthony Jeanjean, who remarkably recovered from a fall in his first run to score 93.76 in his second attempt.
In the women's event, China's Deng Yawen emerged victorious, securing the gold medal. Meanwhile, defending champion Worthington, who was part of the support team for the men's silver medalist, finished 11th in Tuesday's qualifying round and did not progress further. This competition was a testament to the endurance and determination of the athletes as they pushed their limits in pursuit of victory.
