They Are The Champions: 2022 Mountain Bike Worlds

Who are the 2022 UCI MTB World Champions?

Les Gets, France hosted the 2022 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships that ended today after five days of competition. This was the second time the resort destination hosted the championships (2004), and the third time overall for France (Metabief, 1993).

The full program awarded titles in Cross-Country Olympic distance events for elite men and women (and team relay), plus U23 and junior levels. The championships also included e-mountain bike, short track, and downhill divisions. Both the men's and women's Elite Olympic winners were double gold medalists at Les Gets: men's champion Nino Schurter also won gold in the team relay, while Pauline Ferrand-Prevot won the short track gold too. p.s. Schurter defended his title from 2021, and this was his 10th​ (!) gold in the event. Meanwhile, this was Ferrand-Prevot's fourth title.

Congratulations to all the winners! Cross-country Olympic discipline gold medalists are noted below. Complete results of the full program can be found online at uci.org.
