Happy ending after chaos
Young star Mona Mitterwallner wins third world championship gold
Young bike star Mona Mitterwallner is marathon world champion again! After 2021 and 2023, the 22-year-old Tyrolean won the coveted rainbow jersey on the longest mountain bike distance for the third time on Sunday: "I'm over the moon."
All's well that ends well! After a completely messed up and chaotic season, Austria's young bike star Mona Mitterwallner was able to celebrate a happy ending in the US ski resort of Snowshow on Sunday. The 22-year-old Tyrolean won the World Championship title in the marathon distance ahead of Switzerland's Sina Frei and South Africa's Candice Lill: "I'm over the moon and relieved that it finally worked out."
Many setbacks
The year 2024 did not mean well for Mitterwallner. A bout of salmonella poisoning in the spring threw Mona completely off balance and she was unable to show her potential at either the Olympic Games in Paris (18th place) or the World Championships in Andorra (12th place): "The year presented me with a few challenges. It was very frustrating that nothing came of it despite all the hard work."
Corona ahead of the marathon world championships
The omens for the current title fights in Snowshoe (West Virginia) were not good either with a corona infection: "I recovered from the virus, but it was still a lung disease."
Fifth place for Stigger
Olympic sixth-placed Laura Stigger finished fifth at her first marathon world championships. The 23-year-old Tyrolean was around 10 minutes short of the bronze medal after 104 kilometers and almost 2000 meters of altitude.
