Türkiye’s winter sports capital, Erzurum’s Palandoken Ski Center, came alive this weekend as the world’s top snowboarders battled for glory in the FIS SBX Snowboard Cross World Cup.
With high-speed turns, daring jumps, and fierce competition, athletes from 15 countries put their skills to the ultimate test in a thrilling display of winter sports at its finest.
At the awards ceremony, Zafer Aynali, secretary general of Erzurum Metropolitan Municipality, expressed his pleasure at hosting world-class athletes in Erzurum.
He highlighted the city’s emergence as a prominent hub for winter sports, noting that the 2011 Winter Universiade marked the beginning of Erzurum’s international recognition.
“Today, as last year, we are proud to host the SBX Snowboard World Cup for the second time. I wish all athletes success in the three-day competition,” Aynali stated, inviting the public to attend the finals on Sunday.
The first day of competition produced the following results: Leon Ulbricht of Germany secured first place, followed by Aidan Chollet of France in second and Loan Bozzolo of France in third.
The remainder of the top 10 finishers were: Theodore Mclemore (U.S.), Alessandro Haemmerle (Austria), Martin Noerl (Germany), Quentin Sodogas (France), Adam Lampert (U.K.), Jonas Chollet (France) and Huw Nighttingale (U.K.).
