Junior World Championships

Live Broadcast

The Freeride Junior World Championships returned to the Tyrolian Alps today, where the best young athletes took to the slopes and the skies in an inspiring display of competitive freeriding. Conditions were challenging for both the organizers – with spring-like snow and winds pushing 130 km/hour, prompting them to move the event from the Quellspitze to the Hausberg – and competitors, which ensured that the riders with the best tactics and versatile skills finished on top.
