Photo Epic: Dual Slalom - Crankworx Innsbruck 2023

Jun 24, 2023
by Ed Spratt  


Day two of Crankworx Innsbruck saw riders go bar-to-bar as they took on the tricky dual slalom course.

First-place qualifier Martha Gill stayed consistent through the rounds taking home her second dual slalom gold medal, beating American downhiller, Anna Newkirk in the gold-medal match-up. Best described by many of the riders today as being quite a downhill-style slalom course, it was fitting to see the final four men for the bronze- and gold-medal match-ups all downhillers. Canadian, Jakob Jewett dominated throughout the rounds to take home the gold medal in the finals against Sam Blenkinsop.

Results:

1st. Jakob Jewett (CAN) // Martha Gill (GBR)
2nd. Sam Blenkinsop (NZL) // Anna Newkirk (USA)
3rd. George Brannigan (NZL) // Luana Chereches (ROU)
