IWWF 2-TOWER WORLD CUP 2022 Aarhus, Denmark – September 2 to 4  Joey Battleday and Claudia Pagnini went big for the Gold

 

On a setup specially implemented by Aarhus Watersports Complex to match World Class riders’ level, the first-ever world cup  brought the best Wakeboard performances to Danish crowds. As in Open and Amateur Women, Open Men, Amateur Men and Juniors, all the athletes taking part in the contest went big to wave to their audience gathered in the Aarhus Harbor to enjoy the activities which were part of the Aarhus Urban Sports Festival. Along with the main competitions, attendees also enjoyed contests and initiations in Breaking, Parkour and Skateboarding. Yesterday’s tricky conditions were replaced by a bright sun, shaping a perfect environment to enjoy Wakeboard bangers all the afternoon.

Qualification and LCQ sessions selected the 6 best riders for this Sunday’s grand final. Warmed by Death Dive contests right before the launch of the competition, spectators were on fire when the first Women dropped in. It seems that nothing can take of the Italian Queen out of the top spot this season. Once again, Claudia Pagnini combined huge control and cleanliness to grab the Gold medal. After she mastered insane rail to rail, she wrapped her run with a KGB which secured her the highest step. She has been challenged by the young Spanish rider Elena Bodi Lopez, who is improving each contest and was getting near to win thanks to a particularly high and clean performance. The podium was full filled by the French Marie Rougier, who managed to keep her status with a very clean style on the rails.

Straight after the Women’s final, it was time for the Pro Men category to enjoy the support of the crowd which was circling the Wakepark. Great Britain went big to make the show, with Joey Battleday and Kieran Owens scoring respectively 1st and 3rd. The best one today succeed in a good first run, that he cleaned up on the second to grab the Gold medal. In between both we find the French Rookie Alex Paget, only 16 years old, who impressed the public with a high and intense run. He added to his line a Moby Dick 5 as he did during the semi-final, in addition to good execution of the other tricks. Kieran Owens, right after him on the ranking, went good on strategy by being high and clean.
