After two days of fighting in the Kievit Terminal in Antwerp, some of us have come out victorious, others wounded, but thankfully no dead.
In the category Speed Slalom Men it was Jimmy Fort (FR) who took first place, leaving his teammates Loic Pasquier (FR) second and Julien Kerbrat (FR) third. Romain Lebois (FR) finished 4th.
Speed Slalom Women was won by Clémence Guicheteau (FR), who won the final knock-out round against her Rollerbug teammate Tiffany Derisbourg (FR). Caroline Kerbrat (FR) followed in her brothers footsteps and took 3rd place over Océane Loutrein (FR).
Highjump was won by Axel Viscard (FR) who jumped over 1m35d officially (but in fact jumped 1m40 on sunday), Julien Kerbrat (FR) took 2nd by jumping over 1m30, and we have a shared 3rd place with our belgian hero Jessy Van Winghem (BE) and ukraine's "not a pro" skater Roman Kharytonov (UKR).
Freestyle Battle Women was brutal, especially the final, but in the end, Ksenija Komarchuk (UKR) came in first place (with a 2 to 1 decision), followed closely by Megan McIntosh (USA), leaving 3rd and 4th place for Clémence Guicheteau (FR) and Maria Eggert (DE) respectively.
And last but not least, the Freestyle Battle Men competition was won by Romain Lebois (FR), Roman Kharytonov (UKR) came in second, third place was for Artur Grigoryan (DE), and Tim Schraepen (BE) got 4th.
Full results will be posted very soon.
