MADRID, 1 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish ‘Rider’ Núria Castán has ended in third position on the fourth day of the Freeride World Tour, which has been held in Georgia, a result that brings him closer to his goal of qualifying for the Verbier finals (Switzerland).
The day started with the category of male snowboarding and, after it, it was the turn of the female. The Catalan left the last last in search of a very solid descent to be able to be inside the podium and overcome positions in the circuit. Thus, he made a couple of ‘Airs’ and ended third with a total score of 69.33.
The second position was for the Australian Michaela David-Meehan with 70.33, at a single point of the Catalan of Rfedi, and firstly concluded the one that is being a great dominator of the circuit, the French noémie Equy, with 79.00 points.
In the general classification, Núria Castán is currently outside the finals, but less than 600 points of the athlete that marks the cut, which is Audrey Hebert; The Canadian accumulates among all tests 16,640, by the 16,075 of Castán. Fieberbrunn (Austria) will decide which are the ‘Riders’ that will arrive to Verbier to dispute the world title.
“I wanted to go down intelligently because in the last stops I have not had good results except for third place and I had the goal of getting down with a solid line without errors or falling and the truth is that this podium helps me to continue improving and work for the next competition held in Austria, which is where I live, and I am eager to it,” Castán said after the test.
On the other hand, the Spanish Abel Moga (FCEH-CAEI), after his second place in Kicking Horse (Canada), was one of the few riders that took the second exit, which was oriented towards another face of the mountain and struggled to maintain control of its skis, in quite complex conditions, along with several small jumps that gave it a total record of 69.00 points.
The Freeriderider Aranés achieved its purpose: a line without falls and that put it in a comfortable situation for the next circuit event. His efforts served to finish in the 9th position of the test. The winner was Canadian Marcus Goguen, who is intractable this season getting a total of 92.33 points.
In the general classification, Moga is in 7th place with 17,360 points, well above the cut, which right now marks it in the 14th square the Japanese Tenra Katsuno with 13,270 points. With a similar line in Fieberbrunn, Moga would ensure access to the finals with quite likely and, most importantly, their presence in the Freeride World Tour for the 2025-2026 season.
