It’s finals day here in Colombia! A quiet tension started to build as competitors began to feel the effects of three full days in the wind and sun. Here’s where the mental training of the athletes really began to come into play. You could feel the nervousness of some riders while others remained calm, cool and collected such as Carlos Mario (BRA). “I’m calm, I’m ready” said the Brazilian powerhouse.

Once again, the day began with the wind blowing and the judges were fired up to watch all of the action. Riders displayed a mix of quiet confidence (Coccoluto), and extreme focus (Chabloz) with the general attitude being–it’s time to go big or go home! “There are no jokes in the finals. It’s time to go full send.” – Rita Arnaus (ESP).
