After the season’s final competition at the Ice Cross, we know the Crystal Ball winners. Czech Iowa Samkowa and Austrian Alessandro Himerl won the Vysonaz and in the general ranking.
The last World Cup tournament this season was held in the Swiss resort of Vysonaz. The competition was going to be very exciting, because it was not known who would win the crystal ball to cross the skateboard to the end. In the overall ranking, Iowa Samqua and Michela Muyuli got the same number of points (350), so everything was due to be clarified on Saturday (March 20). The masters of Alessandro Himerl had 62 points, but everything was still possible.
In the women’s competition, Iowa did not defeat Samqua that day, having a great fight with Michelle Miuli in the Grand Final. Ultimately, the Italian had to settle for second place and himself at the end of the season. Charlotte Banks, this year’s world champion, was ranked third at Vysonaz. The crystal ball was won by Iowa Samkawa (450 points), who won the World Cup three times this season. Michel Mauli came second, with only 20 points difference, while Faye Golini finished third with 302 points. Interestingly, Julia Pereira only had one point lower, which shows how balanced the season is.
