Dawid Godziek

Poland’s Dawid Godziek became just the third rider in history to win the Slopestyle Triple Crown after delivering an electrifying performance in Whistler, while Sweden’s Alma Wiggberg claimed the first-ever women’s title at Red Bull Joyride.

After securing Crankworx victories in Cairns and Innsbruck, Godziek arrived in Canada full of confidence. The Pole was determined to put on a show for the 35,000 spectators in attendance but fell on the last feature during his first run.

He soon made up for that mistake, delivering a clean second run that included a cashroll barspin, twister tuck no-hander and a 360 Superman seat grab Indian air. Earning a score of 96.6 points from the judges, Godziek not only claimed the victory but was also crowned the 2024 Crankworx FMBA Slopestyle World Champion.

France’s Timothe Bringer claimed the silver medal with a first run of 94.4 points, while Sweden’s Max Fredriksson, the only male athlete who made it down the course without a crash in Saturday’s competition, earned bronze with a score of 84.4 points.

Godzeik, 29, said: “I can’t believe it, I’m so happy and can’t thank everyone enough for the support. Winning the Triple Crown is so hard to do and finishing it here in Whistler is incredible.”

Reno also won the 2024 Crankworx FMBA Slopestyle World Championship, making her the first-ever female Slopestyle World Champion.
