The inclusion of women's competitions in all disciplines elevates the grandeur of the event and is a major milestone in the fight for the recognition and visibility that women deserve in the fast-paced world of urban sports. Female athletes have fought tirelessly for this recognition and finally their courage, effort and skill are reflected on the international stage. Every trick and every jump is a reminder of the strength and passion that defies stereotypes and social expectations imposed on women. We will be able to enjoy them in competitions such as the Scooter World Championships, the UCI BMX Freestyle C1 International Championships, the Breaking For Gold International Series and international skateboarding competitions. This major step towards gender equality in sport is of the utmost importance after having fought for the recognition and visibility they deserve in the field of urban sports. The inclusion of women's competitions in all disciplines at Madrid Urban Sports shows a commitment on the part of the organisers to encourage equal participation in these sports and to send a powerful message of inclusion and diversity in the world of sport.

How do you prepare for this type of competition? They are very important competitions and more than physically it is also mentally, the most important thing is to always be strong on both sides and always be focused on training and on the bike learning. What advice would you give to young girls who want to follow in your footsteps in BMX Freestyle and pursue their sporting dreams? The first and most important is to enjoy the bike, after that comes the issue of motivation, sometimes we have ups and downs because of tricks or moments of competition but the idea is to always be motivated to always be with the plan of fulfilling your dreams and day by day sowing good things to create something good in the end! It is also good not to be well because it means that we are alive and we are living life but we have to enjoy the process and motivate ourselves to do amazing things every day.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]Mia Catalano, one of the most versatile riders in scootering as she practices both scooter park and street.

It won't be easy, but I'm looking forward to the challenge. You got a second place in the first women's street world championships, what was that moment like for you? Winning a medal at the first ever women's street world championships was an incredible experience.

How did you start? Breaking is a way to express myself without words. I can transmit what I feel through my movements. Besides, I'm constantly evolving because you never stop learning and never stop getting new steps. That motivates me to keep dancing day by day. But the most important thing for me is how it makes me feel, the smile I get every time I step in the room. Since I was little I have danced other styles: Hiphop, Ballet, Afro... but Breaking had never caught my attention. When we returned to Spain, three years ago, I saw that there was a Breaking training session near my house and I went to see it. I was impressed! The first thing that struck me was the good atmosphere in the room. Also, I loved the steps they were doing and I needed to learn them! What are your goals for the Breaking For Gold International Series competition in Madrid?

Kini González, one of the skateboard instructors who has been practising the sport for more than 20 years, says that "it is a luxury to see how children are increasingly interested in urban sports" and adds that "more and more children are practising it or that you see them a year later and they have told you that since you gave them the first class, they are practising it on their own, for me, it is a luxury to see how it grows every year".[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="5904" img_size="large" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]The Rafa Nadal Foundation uses sport as a tool for social transformation and promotes different activities so that children have access to all kinds of sporting and cultural disciplines.

Urban sports are a healthy leisure option for children living in the neighbourhoods of large cities and offer enormous benefits for the development of children. Rosa M. Molina, Director of the Rafa Nadal Foundation Centre in Madrid, assures us that "the entire team of professionals at the centre are delighted to organise this activity together with Madrid Urban Sports for another year at our facilities in the Magic Box and we know that the children love learning about these urban sports disciplines with which they feel very identified".

• Sky Brown dominates in the final of the Skateboard Park World Championships with a clear goal: Paris 2024.

• Jagger Eaton takes men's gold ahead of Augusto Akio and Pedro Barros

Last Sunday, February 12th took place the final of the Olympic Qualifier and World Skateboarding Championship 2022 of Park category in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, which has also distributed some very valuable points to compete in the next Olympic Games in Paris 2024, where there are only 22 vacancies for the best riders on the board.   The Aljada Skatepark in Sharjah, a city near Dubai, has been the central focus of the world Skateboarding to walk to Paris, replacing the World Skate stop in Rio de Janeiro that was suspended a few months ago.   Sky already has another gold medal to keep alongside the bronze from Tokyo 2020 [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="4685,4683"] In the women's category, Sky Brown, was proclaimed world champion in Park with some movie rounds. The Brit is on another level and won the gold after scoring maximum points against the other 7 competitors during her three rounds of the final with tricks like her kickflip indy grab, backside tailslide and a Frontside 540 that made the temperature rise even more in the desert of Sharjah.   The silver medal went to Japan's Kokona Hirak, only 14 years old, without a doubt an athlete with a spectacular present and future. She won over the jury with her fluid rounds full of transfers, slides and grinds like a very solid frontside overcrook in the big bowl curve and airs like a frontside 360 stalefish and a frontside stalefish to lip book.   Finally, the bronze medal also went to Japan, Yosozumi Sakura, 20, flowed through the bowl in a very polished style with tricks like a backside kickflip indy, Frontside Smithgrind on the big turn and a Backside 360 no grab. Jagger adds gold medal to the bronze medal he won at Tokyo 2020 [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="4693,4695"] In the men's category, the gold medal was won by the American Jagger Eaton, who has been the only athlete to compete in both Street, finishing sixth, and Park. Jagger scored tricks of many carats as a giant Ollie to fakie house brand, Kickflip to backside lipslide and Backside 540 indy huge, among others, which made him rise as world champion.   The silver went to Augusto Akio, the Brazilian who is skating like the gods, flew over the skies of Sharjah with a perfect McTwist, a Backside Smithgrind 270 out in the curve, a trick within reach of few skaters on the planet, and a great frontside heelflip indy.    The bronze also went to Brazil, the silver medalist of Tokyo 2020, Pedro Barros. The athlete turned the bowl upside down from start to finish, with his power and characteristic style and tricks that bear his signature: the highest and longest Backside indy we have seen all week, Backside 540 and McTwist Indy that looked more like something out of a video game than real life.   One of the surprises of the final was Australia's Keegan Palmer, Tokyo 2020 gold medalist and Park designer of these World Finals, who came in last in 8th place after failing in all three of his rounds.   Naia Laso was the Spanish athlete to go farthest in PARK.   As for the Spanish athletes, Naia Laso went through to the semifinals and got a magnificent 13th place, staying only 5 places away from the final when she missed the Backside 540 of her round.   Meanwhile, Danny Leon, Julia Benedetti and Alain Kortabitarte could not get past the quarterfinals; and Peio Gonzalez, who is recovering from an elbow injury he suffered last month in the concentration with his tem ESP, could only compete walking to add some points, he stayed in the qualifiers. And finally, Jaime Mateu was out of the training camp due to injury… Rewatch the finals here."

• Lucas di Meglio becomes two-time MUS Scooter Park champion

 

• Esteban Clot shines with his drops in Scooter Park

  [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Sunday afternoon was dominated by the scooters, the central and the street parks experienced two exciting finals where epic tricks were seen that left all the park's visitors speechless.    The madness was unleashed when Esteban Clot, the winner in the category, surprised all the spectators with his now typical drop trick, which he landed perfectly on two occasions. The Frenchman did a perfect first round, where he was delighted with all the elements of the module, sliding and showing the quality of his tricks. Jordan Clark, reigning world champion, could not take the gold medal because he did not iron some tricks. It was not the Briton's afternoon, even though he tried to replicate the triple flair he achieved not long ago, being the first person in the world to do so.  Alex Pérez Ortuño won the bronze medal after two rounds performed to perfection, the Spaniard took the medal to the amazement of his opponents thanks to his incredible technique and tricks.  [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="4357,4355"]  The scooter moved to the Street to offer even more spectacle with the Scooter Park final. Almost a thousand people came to see the champion, Lucas di Meglio revalidating his title as MUS champion in the Scooter Park category. This feat makes him the first two-time champion of the biggest urban competition in Madrid.   [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="4367,4363"] Jonathan Perroni won the silver after one of the tightest rounds in the park in recent memory, demonstrating his skill with perfectly ironed tricks and challenging Di Meglio to replicate his tricks.

• Kieran Reilly crowns as the winner of Madrid Urban Sports with incredible tricks

 

• Justin Dowel and 'Maligno' complete the podium

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Kieran Reilly, the first rider in the world to perform a triple flair has conquered the central park of Madrid Urban Sports after doing a totally impressive first round that has amazed the more than hundreds of people who crowded in the final. The Brit, with a very marked style with modern and risky tricks, stood out from the rest with his typical double flair perfectly executed, reaching more than 90 points in the final of the MUS 94.33. The Briton said after the event that "I knew I had to pull out my best tricks to be on the podium because the level at the MUS has been so high. The round was almost perfect and with the triple I'm going home with the gold, very happy and looking forward to more BMX in Madrid in 2023". [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="4337,4352"] Second place went to Justin Dowell, who was true to his style and showed all the technique he has in all the elements of the park. Third place went to José Torres 'Maligno', a real whirlwind on the bike who earned a standing ovation from the crowd for his perfect rounds with a lot of grit. With the victory of Kieran Reilly, this second edition of BMX in Madrid Urban Sports closes with spectacular rounds, impossible tricks, and they march with their bikes to Paris to delight us in the French capital with their tricks.

• Jose "Maligno" Torres shows his power in a very tied BMX semifinals

 

• World champion Jordan Clark dominates the Scooter Park semifinals

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A heated Central Park was the stage where over 50 BMX and Scooter riders attended to win one of the valued tickets for the finals, seats were sold out at a high price and the crowd enjoyed the semifinals with rounds and tricks deserving of the best finals. In BMX the level was very high and many of the athletes showed some of the aces they had up their sleeves in order to be among the 12 chosen to compete today in the final. Jose Torres also known as Maligno was the great dominator of the day. With rounds with a lot of power, and a spectacular repertoire of tricks, the Argentinean flew one metre higher than all his rivals on every obstacle in Central Park, giving him a final score of 94.67. Croatia's Marin Rantes and Olympic bronze medallist Declan Brooks qualified second and third respectively and confirmed that they are two strong contenders to unseat Torres for gold in today's grand final. Mr. Daniel Dhers, the crowd favourite, took fourth place and is still in the running for a place on the podium at Madrid Urban Sports 2022. [gallery columns="2" size="full" ids="4276,4284"] World Champion dominates the constest: British rider Jordan Clark was the great dominator of the scooter park semifinals and moved like a fish in water in each of the ramps of the monumental construction. Flow and power defined each of his two 45-second rounds in Central Park, which combined with tricks such as the cashroll in the funbox or the double flair, propelled him to first place in the standings with a score of 81.00. His teammate Jaime Hull, who comes to defend the gold medal he won in 2021, followed him closely showing that he will not make it easy for Clark to win. Combinations of whip and rewinds added with some bombs like the double flair gave the Briton 75.87 points. The third place in the semifinals went to Esteban Clott. The French juggler was stylish in each of the semifinal rounds, watch out for the one who can make the surprise in the final.

• More than 100 participants of 25 nationalities battled to win the first Olympic points

 

• Xak in the Bboy category and Madmax in the BGirl category were the winners of the day

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Urban Stage was the first event towards the Olympic Games in the Breaking modality, dozens of onlookers crowded around it amazed by the technique, acrobatics and impossible steps performed by the breakers. Spain's Juan de la Torre, better known as Xak, is one of the best known BBoys in Spain and on Saturday at Madrid-Rio he proved why: he won the gold medal at the MUS, revalidating his title from last year. Xak has done a spectacular session and afterwards, with his medal on his chest, he declared that "the level has been very high this edition of Madrid Urban Sports, you can tell that the event is getting a name because there were many international participants so the battles have all been very hard because I compete against people much younger than me although at 35 years old I feel in great shape". This former lawyer who left everything for breaking has been categorical about the inclusion of his sport in the Olympic Games stating that "it has been a revolution in our world, I used to train where I could and now we are with the federation in the CAR with physios, coaches, something that was unthinkable before". [gallery columns="4" size="large" ids="4254,4260,4252,4258"] The silver medal was won by the Belgian Max, who was unstoppable and with a very marked style, the bronze medal was won by Mini Joe, one of the favourites for the Paris Games, who gave off fire in his movements. For her part, the Belgian Madmax won in the BGirl category against her compatriot Camine and still with bated breath declared that it had been "a crazy day, on the one hand because of the heat, and on the other hand the atmosphere was the best and allowed me to express what I wanted and the organization has done everything to make it a success and we could dance to the maximum, so I take a great memory of Madrid". The Urban Stage does not rest and tomorrow the Spanish Breaking Championship will be held where we will be able to see the two times MUS champion, Xak and the BGirls of the moment: Ana 'Furia' Ortega and Law.

The inclusion of women's competitions in all disciplines elevates the grandeur of the event and is a major milestone in the fight for the recognition and visibility that women deserve in the fast-paced world of urban sports. Female athletes have fought tirelessly for this recognition and finally their courage, effort and skill are reflected on the international stage. Every trick and every jump is a reminder of the strength and passion that defies stereotypes and social expectations imposed on women. We will be able to enjoy them in competitions such as the Scooter World Championships, the UCI BMX Freestyle C1 International Championships, the Breaking For Gold International Series and international skateboarding competitions. This major step towards gender equality in sport is of the utmost importance after having fought for the recognition and visibility they deserve in the field of urban sports. The inclusion of women's competitions in all disciplines at Madrid Urban Sports shows a commitment on the part of the organisers to encourage equal participation in these sports and to send a powerful message of inclusion and diversity in the world of sport.

How do you prepare for this type of competition? They are very important competitions and more than physically it is also mentally, the most important thing is to always be strong on both sides and always be focused on training and on the bike learning. What advice would you give to young girls who want to follow in your footsteps in BMX Freestyle and pursue their sporting dreams? The first and most important is to enjoy the bike, after that comes the issue of motivation, sometimes we have ups and downs because of tricks or moments of competition but the idea is to always be motivated to always be with the plan of fulfilling your dreams and day by day sowing good things to create something good in the end! It is also good not to be well because it means that we are alive and we are living life but we have to enjoy the process and motivate ourselves to do amazing things every day.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]Mia Catalano, one of the most versatile riders in scootering as she practices both scooter park and street.

The warrior Princess' has clear goals and is coming on strong: You are only 15 years old, you started Breaking only three years ago and you are already competing in some of the most important championships with the best bboys and bgirls, evolving at a great speed, why breaking? How did you start? Breaking is a way to express myself without words. I can transmit what I feel through my movements. Besides, I'm constantly evolving because you never stop learning and never stop getting new steps. That motivates me to keep dancing day by day. But the most important thing for me is how it makes me feel, the smile I get every time I step in the room. Since I was little I have danced other styles: Hiphop, Ballet, Afro... but Breaking had never caught my attention. When we returned to Spain, three years ago, I saw that there was a Breaking training session near my house and I went to see it. I was impressed! The first thing that struck me was the good atmosphere in the room. Also, I loved the steps they were doing and I needed to learn them!

The inclusion of women's competitions in all disciplines elevates the grandeur of the event and is a major milestone in the fight for the recognition and visibility that women deserve in the fast-paced world of urban sports. Female athletes have fought tirelessly for this recognition and finally their courage, effort and skill are reflected on the international stage. Every trick and every jump is a reminder of the strength and passion that defies stereotypes and social expectations imposed on women. We will be able to enjoy them in competitions such as the Scooter World Championships, the UCI BMX Freestyle C1 International Championships, the Breaking For Gold International Series and international skateboarding competitions. This major step towards gender equality in sport is of the utmost importance after having fought for the recognition and visibility they deserve in the field of urban sports. The inclusion of women's competitions in all disciplines at Madrid Urban Sports shows a commitment on the part of the organisers to encourage equal participation in these sports and to send a powerful message of inclusion and diversity in the world of sport.

How do you prepare for this type of competition? They are very important competitions and more than physically it is also mentally, the most important thing is to always be strong on both sides and always be focused on training and on the bike learning. What advice would you give to young girls who want to follow in your footsteps in BMX Freestyle and pursue their sporting dreams? The first and most important is to enjoy the bike, after that comes the issue of motivation, sometimes we have ups and downs because of tricks or moments of competition but the idea is to always be motivated to always be with the plan of fulfilling your dreams and day by day sowing good things to create something good in the end!

How did you start? Breaking is a way to express myself without words. I can transmit what I feel through my movements. Besides, I'm constantly evolving because you never stop learning and never stop getting new steps. That motivates me to keep dancing day by day. But the most important thing for me is how it makes me feel, the smile I get every time I step in the room. Since I was little I have danced other styles: Hiphop, Ballet, Afro... but Breaking had never caught my attention. When we returned to Spain, three years ago, I saw that there was a Breaking training session near my house and I went to see it. I was impressed! The first thing that struck me was the good atmosphere in the room. Also, I loved the steps they were doing and I needed to learn them!

Kini González, one of the skateboard instructors who has been practising the sport for more than 20 years, says that "it is a luxury to see how children are increasingly interested in urban sports" and adds that "more and more children are practising it or that you see them a year later and they have told you that since you gave them the first class, they are practising it on their own, for me, it is a luxury to see how it grows every year".[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="5904" img_size="large" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]The Rafa Nadal Foundation uses sport as a tool for social transformation and promotes different activities so that children have access to all kinds of sporting and cultural disciplines.

The planters of the Plaza del Congreso de los Diputados, one of the most skated spots on the Madrid skate scene, are represented in the MUS streetplaza. The architects of the street plaza didn't want to make it easy for the riders and have added a flatrail that crosses the module from side to side, a real challenge for the riders

The second main module is a gap to hubba that evokes another of the capital's great spots: the Juan Bravo Bridge. But although skateboarders and scooter riders know it well, they shouldn't be overconfident, as this is the most complex and technical of the street plaza.

• Jagger Eaton takes men's gold ahead of Augusto Akio and Pedro Barros

Last Sunday, February 12th took place the final of the Olympic Qualifier and World Skateboarding Championship 2022 of Park category in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, which has also distributed some very valuable points to compete in the next Olympic Games in Paris 2024, where there are only 22 vacancies for the best riders on the board.   The Aljada Skatepark in Sharjah, a city near Dubai, has been the central focus of the world Skateboarding to walk to Paris, replacing the World Skate stop in Rio de Janeiro that was suspended a few months ago.   Sky already has another gold medal to keep alongside the bronze from Tokyo 2020 [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="4685,4683"] In the women's category, Sky Brown, was proclaimed world champion in Park with some movie rounds. The Brit is on another level and won the gold after scoring maximum points against the other 7 competitors during her three rounds of the final with tricks like her kickflip indy grab, backside tailslide and a Frontside 540 that made the temperature rise even more in the desert of Sharjah.   The silver medal went to Japan's Kokona Hirak, only 14 years old, without a doubt an athlete with a spectacular present and future. She won over the jury with her fluid rounds full of transfers, slides and grinds like a very solid frontside overcrook in the big bowl curve and airs like a frontside 360 stalefish and a frontside stalefish to lip book.   Finally, the bronze medal also went to Japan, Yosozumi Sakura, 20, flowed through the bowl in a very polished style with tricks like a backside kickflip indy, Frontside Smithgrind on the big turn and a Backside 360 no grab. Jagger adds gold medal to the bronze medal he won at Tokyo 2020 [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="4693,4695"] In the men's category, the gold medal was won by the American Jagger Eaton, who has been the only athlete to compete in both Street, finishing sixth, and Park. Jagger scored tricks of many carats as a giant Ollie to fakie house brand, Kickflip to backside lipslide and Backside 540 indy huge, among others, which made him rise as world champion.   The silver went to Augusto Akio, the Brazilian who is skating like the gods, flew over the skies of Sharjah with a perfect McTwist, a Backside Smithgrind 270 out in the curve, a trick within reach of few skaters on the planet, and a great frontside heelflip indy.    The bronze also went to Brazil, the silver medalist of Tokyo 2020, Pedro Barros. The athlete turned the bowl upside down from start to finish, with his power and characteristic style and tricks that bear his signature: the highest and longest Backside indy we have seen all week, Backside 540 and McTwist Indy that looked more like something out of a video game than real life.   One of the surprises of the final was Australia's Keegan Palmer, Tokyo 2020 gold medalist and Park designer of these World Finals, who came in last in 8th place after failing in all three of his rounds.   Naia Laso was the Spanish athlete to go farthest in PARK.   As for the Spanish athletes, Naia Laso went through to the semifinals and got a magnificent 13th place, staying only 5 places away from the final when she missed the Backside 540 of her round.   Meanwhile, Danny Leon, Julia Benedetti and Alain Kortabitarte could not get past the quarterfinals; and Peio Gonzalez, who is recovering from an elbow injury he suffered last month in the concentration with his tem ESP, could only compete walking to add some points, he stayed in the qualifiers. And finally, Jaime Mateu was out of the training camp due to injury… Rewatch the finals here."

• Lucas di Meglio becomes two-time MUS Scooter Park champion

 

• Esteban Clot shines with his drops in Scooter Park

  [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Sunday afternoon was dominated by the scooters, the central and the street parks experienced two exciting finals where epic tricks were seen that left all the park's visitors speechless.    The madness was unleashed when Esteban Clot, the winner in the category, surprised all the spectators with his now typical drop trick, which he landed perfectly on two occasions. The Frenchman did a perfect first round, where he was delighted with all the elements of the module, sliding and showing the quality of his tricks. Jordan Clark, reigning world champion, could not take the gold medal because he did not iron some tricks. It was not the Briton's afternoon, even though he tried to replicate the triple flair he achieved not long ago, being the first person in the world to do so.  Alex Pérez Ortuño won the bronze medal after two rounds performed to perfection, the Spaniard took the medal to the amazement of his opponents thanks to his incredible technique and tricks.  [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="4357,4355"]  The scooter moved to the Street to offer even more spectacle with the Scooter Park final. Almost a thousand people came to see the champion, Lucas di Meglio revalidating his title as MUS champion in the Scooter Park category. This feat makes him the first two-time champion of the biggest urban competition in Madrid.   [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="4367,4363"] Jonathan Perroni won the silver after one of the tightest rounds in the park in recent memory, demonstrating his skill with perfectly ironed tricks and challenging Di Meglio to replicate his tricks.

• Kieran Reilly crowns as the winner of Madrid Urban Sports with incredible tricks

 

• Justin Dowel and 'Maligno' complete the podium

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Kieran Reilly, the first rider in the world to perform a triple flair has conquered the central park of Madrid Urban Sports after doing a totally impressive first round that has amazed the more than hundreds of people who crowded in the final. The Brit, with a very marked style with modern and risky tricks, stood out from the rest with his typical double flair perfectly executed, reaching more than 90 points in the final of the MUS 94.33. The Briton said after the event that "I knew I had to pull out my best tricks to be on the podium because the level at the MUS has been so high. The round was almost perfect and with the triple I'm going home with the gold, very happy and looking forward to more BMX in Madrid in 2023". [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="4337,4352"] Second place went to Justin Dowell, who was true to his style and showed all the technique he has in all the elements of the park. Third place went to José Torres 'Maligno', a real whirlwind on the bike who earned a standing ovation from the crowd for his perfect rounds with a lot of grit. With the victory of Kieran Reilly, this second edition of BMX in Madrid Urban Sports closes with spectacular rounds, impossible tricks, and they march with their bikes to Paris to delight us in the French capital with their tricks.

• Jose "Maligno" Torres shows his power in a very tied BMX semifinals

 

• World champion Jordan Clark dominates the Scooter Park semifinals

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A heated Central Park was the stage where over 50 BMX and Scooter riders attended to win one of the valued tickets for the finals, seats were sold out at a high price and the crowd enjoyed the semifinals with rounds and tricks deserving of the best finals. In BMX the level was very high and many of the athletes showed some of the aces they had up their sleeves in order to be among the 12 chosen to compete today in the final. Jose Torres also known as Maligno was the great dominator of the day. With rounds with a lot of power, and a spectacular repertoire of tricks, the Argentinean flew one metre higher than all his rivals on every obstacle in Central Park, giving him a final score of 94.67. Croatia's Marin Rantes and Olympic bronze medallist Declan Brooks qualified second and third respectively and confirmed that they are two strong contenders to unseat Torres for gold in today's grand final. Mr. Daniel Dhers, the crowd favourite, took fourth place and is still in the running for a place on the podium at Madrid Urban Sports 2022. [gallery columns="2" size="full" ids="4276,4284"] World Champion dominates the constest: British rider Jordan Clark was the great dominator of the scooter park semifinals and moved like a fish in water in each of the ramps of the monumental construction. Flow and power defined each of his two 45-second rounds in Central Park, which combined with tricks such as the cashroll in the funbox or the double flair, propelled him to first place in the standings with a score of 81.00. His teammate Jaime Hull, who comes to defend the gold medal he won in 2021, followed him closely showing that he will not make it easy for Clark to win. Combinations of whip and rewinds added with some bombs like the double flair gave the Briton 75.87 points. The third place in the semifinals went to Esteban Clott. The French juggler was stylish in each of the semifinal rounds, watch out for the one who can make the surprise in the final.

• More than 100 participants of 25 nationalities battled to win the first Olympic points

 

• Xak in the Bboy category and Madmax in the BGirl category were the winners of the day

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Urban Stage was the first event towards the Olympic Games in the Breaking modality, dozens of onlookers crowded around it amazed by the technique, acrobatics and impossible steps performed by the breakers. Spain's Juan de la Torre, better known as Xak, is one of the best known BBoys in Spain and on Saturday at Madrid-Rio he proved why: he won the gold medal at the MUS, revalidating his title from last year. Xak has done a spectacular session and afterwards, with his medal on his chest, he declared that "the level has been very high this edition of Madrid Urban Sports, you can tell that the event is getting a name because there were many international participants so the battles have all been very hard because I compete against people much younger than me although at 35 years old I feel in great shape". This former lawyer who left everything for breaking has been categorical about the inclusion of his sport in the Olympic Games stating that "it has been a revolution in our world, I used to train where I could and now we are with the federation in the CAR with physios, coaches, something that was unthinkable before". [gallery columns="4" size="large" ids="4254,4260,4252,4258"] The silver medal was won by the Belgian Max, who was unstoppable and with a very marked style, the bronze medal was won by Mini Joe, one of the favourites for the Paris Games, who gave off fire in his movements. For her part, the Belgian Madmax won in the BGirl category against her compatriot Camine and still with bated breath declared that it had been "a crazy day, on the one hand because of the heat, and on the other hand the atmosphere was the best and allowed me to express what I wanted and the organization has done everything to make it a success and we could dance to the maximum, so I take a great memory of Madrid". The Urban Stage does not rest and tomorrow the Spanish Breaking Championship will be held where we will be able to see the two times MUS champion, Xak and the BGirls of the moment: Ana 'Furia' Ortega and Law.

The inclusion of women's competitions in all disciplines elevates the grandeur of the event and is a major milestone in the fight for the recognition and visibility that women deserve in the fast-paced world of urban sports. Female athletes have fought tirelessly for this recognition and finally their courage, effort and skill are reflected on the international stage. Every trick and every jump is a reminder of the strength and passion that defies stereotypes and social expectations imposed on women. We will be able to enjoy them in competitions such as the Scooter World Championships, the UCI BMX Freestyle C1 International Championships, the Breaking For Gold International Series and international skateboarding competitions. This major step towards gender equality in sport is of the utmost importance after having fought for the recognition and visibility they deserve in the field of urban sports. The inclusion of women's competitions in all disciplines at Madrid Urban Sports shows a commitment on the part of the organisers to encourage equal participation in these sports and to send a powerful message of inclusion and diversity in the world of sport.

How do you prepare for this type of competition? They are very important competitions and more than physically it is also mentally, the most important thing is to always be strong on both sides and always be focused on training and on the bike learning. What advice would you give to young girls who want to follow in your footsteps in BMX Freestyle and pursue their sporting dreams? The first and most important is to enjoy the bike, after that comes the issue of motivation, sometimes we have ups and downs because of tricks or moments of competition but the idea is to always be motivated to always be with the plan of fulfilling your dreams and day by day sowing good things to create something good in the end! It is also good not to be well because it means that we are alive and we are living life but we have to enjoy the process and motivate ourselves to do amazing things every day.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]Mia Catalano, one of the most versatile riders in scootering as she practices both scooter park and street.

The warrior Princess' has clear goals and is coming on strong: You are only 15 years old, you started Breaking only three years ago and you are already competing in some of the most important championships with the best bboys and bgirls, evolving at a great speed, why breaking? How did you start? Breaking is a way to express myself without words. I can transmit what I feel through my movements. Besides, I'm constantly evolving because you never stop learning and never stop getting new steps. That motivates me to keep dancing day by day. But the most important thing for me is how it makes me feel, the smile I get every time I step in the room. Since I was little I have danced other styles: Hiphop, Ballet, Afro... but Breaking had never caught my attention. When we returned to Spain, three years ago, I saw that there was a Breaking training session near my house and I went to see it. I was impressed! The first thing that struck me was the good atmosphere in the room. Also, I loved the steps they were doing and I needed to learn them!
