Hey, BMX fans! 🚴♀️ The Urban Cycling World Championships in Abu Dhabi just gave us a thrill ride! American superstar Hannah Roberts bounced back from her eighth-place finish at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, grabbing her fifth consecutive BMX Freestyle title! 🎉
Roberts was on fire 🔥 from the get-go, nailing a jaw-dropping 95.70 points on her first run. No one could touch that score! Her second run? A cool 94.58 points—still unbeatable. She's now clinched six out of seven world titles since BMX Freestyle hit the scene in 2017. Talk about a legend! 🌟
But wait, there's more! China made a huge splash, snagging the next five spots in the women's final. 🌊 Sun Sibei soared to silver with an impressive 94.06 points on her first run. Although she took a tumble early in her second attempt, she proved she's a force to be reckoned with. And let's not forget Fan Xiaotong, who grabbed the bronze! 🥈🥉
Missing in action were Paris Olympics champion Deng Yawen and silver medalist Perris Benegas, who skipped the season-ender in the UAE. 🤷♀️ But their absence didn't stop the competition from being an absolute nail-biter!
Stay tuned, because BMX Freestyle is heating up, and we can't wait to see what these riders pull off next! 🚀
