Big day today for the BMX riders as it was the finals of the first round of the 2023 UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. Men and Women fought all day for the first places on the podiums. What a show from the Women riders today. The first heat of riders already set the bar high with the Olympic Champion Charlotte WORTHINGTON’s flair and 360 over the spine and the Chinese rider Qian ZHENG showing the judges and public a backflip turndown and tailwhip on the beginning of her run, 540 and huge 360 turndown.
The second heat continued in this vein with a perfect run from Perris BENEGAS, and Jiaqi SUN first trick 360 tailwhip followed by massive 360 x-up to E.T and so many more tricks.
