#Valais2025

One more lap of this course to go. Two leaders. If they hesitate, it’ll become three cuz Jackson, the face of Jackson says, “I’ve not given up yet.” This is the last time of this section after the pit. The big kick is key here. And you can see Keller at the moment with Jelly. Riz on the wheel. A Keller lees up here. Riz is looking pretty composed. What has Riz got to answer Keller? Keller pushing now. She’s pushing for the line. She’s pushing for the world championship title here in Zurat in Switzerland. Jenny Rizid desperate to close that gap down and get back on the wheel. But Kella, this is the move. Here comes Kella. Kella carries the momentum. Straight lines it between that chicade. Starts to slide wide. Now comes Riz. It’s going to come down to who wants this the most. Keller’s mouth is open. So wide. She’s sucking in the oxygen. She’s got to keep it controlled. She’s on the limit here. She’s got the gap. Is it going to be a home win? One more bow to go and Alisandre Kella takes the win. Your world champion for 2025 in the cross country short track. Alisandre Kella taking away the silver medal of second place here for Jenny Riz. You can see what it means to Jackson as she goes over the line. The Canadian is going to take away the bronze medal. Taken away third place. Keller with the win. Riz in second. Jackson in third. Well, with one lap to go, it’s Zara who comes over with Blevens and Caretsky. Gays and Andreas and Columbbo coming up now. So, the riders take their right hand turn here now. Blevins making a move on the right as they go down here looking to make position to go up onto this climb in first place. This is Blevy’s main attack going down here surely. He’s gone on the front and can the answer. And the answer’s going to be no. There’s a gap open. It’s three or four bike links. How much speed can he carry around here? He’s got the gap. Then it’s Aaro. Then it’s Gretzky, then Gaze, then Andreas. And Caretsky over the top of Aaro. There just left that door open. He said, “Come on, let’s go.” So Christopher Blevens in one followed by the two French riders, Caretsky and Aaro, pushing now into the arena. Ble has got the gap. He looks behind him. his win in Valde Sole came into that last and he’s put a blistering sprint in but look who’s behind him. It’s Gretzky and he’s carrying momentum. He’s on the drop down. He’s got the speed. He’s running onto the wheel. Caretski is coming above Levings here. He goes on the other side. Levings went early. He went too soon. Victor Caretsky. Two titles, two in a row. The Frenchman takes the win. Victor Caretsky in one. Christopher Blebins in two, Matias Aaro in three.
