Breaking will be one of the new Olympic sports, this discipline is experiencing a revolution.   About this revolution Gracy Stenio, Spanish representative in Breaking discipline, has said “Breaking is going to be in the Olympics in 2024, I've been practicing this discipline for around 20 years and with the MUS and the help of 'Federación Española de Baile' our sport is growing. Also we can’t forget that MUS is an Olympic  qualifying event so my objective is to win.” Teresa Fernández, Spanish champion in the MUS 2021 and icon athlete in BMX discipline commented that  "In MUS 2021 i felt very supported and i hope to repeat it this year despite the fact that we have in the competition the 3 Olympic medalist of Tokyo 2020, which motivates me especially to give my best.”    [gallery size="full" ids="3648,3646,3644"]   Five hubs for five sports Madrid will be the epicenter of sport and urban culture in June. Five sports and four of them with a female category, will be the attraction of this great event. MUS has come to the capital to offer a wide range of sports and culture spread over five centers of activity. The ones that will hold urban sports competitions: Madrid Rio Skatepark, the scene of Bowl Competitions, the urban stage that will hold the Breaking competition and el ‘Matadero’, that will host 3x3 urban basketball. And the two others to enjoy the urban culture: ‘La explanada negra’ where the Central park and the Street Plaza will be located and the live show, located near the Manzanares river that will be a scenario for art and urban artists. In this ‘live show’ the urban music will also be the main character of MUS in this 2nd edition with Youngblood Rap Battles and Madrid urban music artists.  “Young people are increasingly interested in new urban sports, which is why we are committed to making this great event and essentia date in the annual calendar of the city", said Sofía Miranda, Councilwoman of sports area. Also she has highlighted that "having the great Olympic references of these urban disciplines in Madrid is one of the best examples to encourage young people to pursue their dreams" commented Sofia Miranda, Sports city councilwoman in Madrid.   The students in Madrid are learning how to skateboard.  Not only MUS is a competition with the greatests urban athletes, for the city is also a great opportunity to bring urban sports to young students of primary and secondary schools in Madrid.  Also this year the MUS wants to support the local scene of skateboarding, because of that the MUS has created the MUS Open qualifier, event scheduled for next Saturday May 28th at the skateplaza of Tetuán with the mission to offer the option to the best skaters of Madrid to compete against international athletes in the Madrid Urban Sports. Victor Casanovas, Manager director of SevenMila and organizer of the event said “I have to thank the City Council of madrid for the facility to organize this event that occupies more than 1 km2 of extension and also thank the 'Real Federaciones Españolas de Basket, patinaje y ciclismo'. We see the MUS as an opportunity for young athletes to shine and also they can beat the international and olympic athletes. All this experience is also reflected with urban culture elements like the music or the rap battles.”  The MUS is Madrid’s greatest bet, to become the epicenter of the sport and urban culture and has the support of Madrid City Council and ‘Foro de empresas’. This event is part of the official calendar of the ‘Madrid World Capital of Sport 2022’ and aims to position the city as a sports reference worldwide.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]" ["post_title"]=> string(67) "The Olympic race in urban sports starts at Madrid Urban Sports 2022" ["post_excerpt"]=> string(0) "" ["post_status"]=> string(7) "publish" ["comment_status"]=> string(4) "open" ["ping_status"]=> string(4) "open" ["post_password"]=> string(0) "" ["post_name"]=> string(82) "la-carrera-olimpica-de-los-deportes-urbanos-empieza-en-el-madrid-urban-sports-2022" ["to_ping"]=> string(0) "" ["pinged"]=> string(0) "" ["post_modified"]=> string(19) "2022-05-11 10:30:22" ["post_modified_gmt"]=> string(19) "2022-05-11 10:30:22" ["post_content_filtered"]=> string(0) "" ["post_parent"]=> int(0) ["guid"]=> string(113) "https://madridurbansports.com/la-carrera-olimpica-de-los-deportes-urbanos-empieza-en-el-madrid-urban-sports-2022/" ["menu_order"]=> int(0) ["post_type"]=> string(4) "post" ["post_mime_type"]=> string(0) "" ["comment_count"]=> string(1) "0" ["filter"]=> string(3) "raw" } [11]=> object(WP_Post)#5802 (24) { ["ID"]=> int(2589) ["post_author"]=> string(1) "3" ["post_date"]=> string(19) "2022-03-14 10:55:11" ["post_date_gmt"]=> string(19) "2022-03-14 10:55:11" ["post_content"]=> string(6329) "[vc_row full_width="stretch_row"][vc_column css=".vc_custom_1633510107869{background-color: #ffffff !important;}"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

ANGELO CARO

The presence of Olympic athletes in this MUS has raised the level of the event and has given it international prestige. One of the big names we had marked in red in our minds was the Peruvian skateboarder Angelo Caro. After finishing fifth at the Tokyo Olympics, Caro did not disappoint and was proclaimed Men's Skateboard champion with some very complete and high level rounds.

The Peruvian distilled flow to blow up the Street Plaza with a gap 360 flip lipslide in the best trick, the highest scoring trick of the competition with a 90. Much was expected of Angelo Caro and he didn’t disappoint. Pure spectacle in Madrid.

South America has tinged the Madrid Urban Sports with Latin rhythm, and for rhythm the Brazilian Virginia Cavalcante, who won the gold medal in women's skateboarding thanks to an excellent final. The skateboarder from Rio de Janeiro showed off with tricks such as a backside feeble on the handrail, a 360 flip or a backside boardslide.

A lot of talent and self-confidence that have helped her to get on the top of the podium in Madrid ahead of an Olympian like the French Charlotte Hym, who started as a big favourite.

NICK BRUCE

One of the most crowded finals of the Madrid Urban Sports was the BMX. The Madrid Río-Matadero Park was flooded with spectators to follow the grand final from Central Park. Olympian Nick Bruce was crowned champion after a perfect first round in which he left us speechless. The American delighted us with a huge backflip triple whip and a cork 720 executed to perfection. With a score of 91.67 points, Bruce was even able to relax and show off in his second round.

Nick Bruce has beaten names like the Argentinean "Maligno" Torres, the Croatian Marin Rantes or the medallist in Tokyo, Daniel Dhers, one of the most acclaimed of the afternoon.

LUCAS DIMEGLIO

With a new exhibition, Lucas DiMeglio dominated the Scooter Street competition with an iron fist and won the gold medal without giving his rivals a chance. The Frenchman, reigning world champion, only needed one round to secure his victory. His always spectacular style has uncovered the admiration of the public in the Street Plaza of Madrid, and with 83.50 points he has climbed to the top of the podium. The Frenchman is in superb form after also winning the World Championships in Barcelona, and seems to have no rival who can overshadow him.

JAMIE HULL

With a blatant authority, Jamie Hull is the other great winner of the Scooter in the MUS, in this case in the Park category. The Briton led the ranking from the start of the competition to the end, leaving his opponents far behind. The ease with which he landed his spectacular tricks has left the public, judges and rivals speechless. It will take a long time to forget the double backflip double whip he landed with such ease. In fact, Hull has been the only rider able to iron two double backflips in his rounds.

RAÚL QUILES

The Roller Freestyle competition has been another of the pleasant surprises of this Madrid Urban Sports. The champion was Raúl Quiles, who left us absolutely perplexed with a double backflip to start his round and show us the spectacular nature of this discipline. With a score of 82.33 points, the Barcelona native climbed to the top of the podium to take the gold medal in an all-Spanish competition that left a great sensation.

Also in Roller Freestyle, but in the women's category, Mery Muñoz won by only 33 tenths of a second to be proclaimed champion of the competition. The Bilbao native narrowly beat Eneritz Quincoces to win gold in a final full of Spaniards. A score of 57.33 points brought Muñoz to glory in Madrid, making her one of the best skaters in Roller Freestyle today.

To close the Madrid Urban Sports it was time for the Scooter. In its Park and Street modalities, this discipline has made us vibrate with its spectacularity and dynamism.

The Scooter Park final was a real exhibition of the best riders in the world who gathered in the Central Park of Madrid Río-Matadero. The Madrid public enjoyed for the first time a Scooter competition of the highest international level in their city.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

Jamie Hull sweeps the board

From the semi-finals to the final, Jamie Hull was unrivalled. The Briton put in two absolutely perfect rounds. All the tricks were cleanly landed and he was the only rider to land two doubles in his rounds.

Spectators will never forget the double backflip double whip that Hull landed with crushing ease.

Leo Spencer took silver, confirming the dominance of British riders in this speciality. The podium was closed by the Swiss Anthony Grant, who was able to perform a totally different round than his opponents, making it clear that he is one of the most creative athletes in the sport.

The young Spanish rider has been postulated as one of the candidates to dominate this speciality in the near future. Perez has been able to rub shoulders with the best, achieving a valuable fifth position and has lifted the crowd from the stands during his rounds.

His 540 flair has its own stamp and to round off his performance he delighted us with a quintuple backflip whip.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Lucas DiMeglio dominates with authority

The reigning world champion of this speciality has given no option to any of his rivals. The Frenchman has shown once again that he is a step above the rest of the athletes. He only needed the first round to secure the gold in the final that closed the Madrid Urban Sports 2021.

The rider from Navas, Guifré Obradors, won the silver medal with an absolutely stellar performance. His rounds have driven the crowd of a packed Street Plaza crazy. With the great support of the home crowd, Obradors has ironed some great tricks like the gap heelwhip to lipslide on the flat rail down. The trick combinations were so complicated that it is hard to describe them.

Frenchman Mathias Villers was the big surprise of this final and against all odds he won the bronze medal. Consistency and creativity defined his performance in this great final.

• BMX has been one of the most crowded finals of Madrid Urban Sports with thousands of spectators around Central Park

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

One of the highlights of Madrid Urban Sports 2021 was the BMX final. Pure and hard show, improbable tricks and amazing acrobatics on two wheels. The Central Park of Madrid Río-Matadero has been filled as never before to enjoy a tremendous final.

The incredible atmosphere was accompanied by a high level of sportsmanship. The best international riders have given everything in a beautiful final.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][vc_column_text]

Gold for Nick Bruce

The American is a life insurance. He does not make mistakes. With a great first round Nick Bruce has been enough to proclaim champion and hang the gold medal in Madrid. Bruce has achieved a record of 91.67 points and has delighted us with a huge backflip triple whip and a cork 720 executed to perfection. The American dominated the competition so much that he was even able to relax on his second attempt after seeing himself as the winner.

Close behind him was Jose "Maligno" Torres with 90 points. The Argentinean had to settle for the silver medal as he did in the Extreme Barcelona, and it will not be for not having left us with our mouths open. Flying as always very high, "Maligno" has left tricks like a huge 360 transfer between two modules that were more than 6 meters apart.

With the permission of these two BMX giants, one of the great sensations of the competition was the Croatian Marin Rantes, who slipped onto the podium after lifting the audience out of their seats with fantasy tricks. A lot of magic and a lot of talent. The combinations of barspins and tailwhips were endless.

Despite being the most acclaimed of the final, the Venezuelan Daniel Dhers could not give a joy to the huge community that supported him and has been left off the podium. After a very demanding few months, Dhers did not feel too comfortable on the track during the whole weekend, and it was evident in the final. Despite his fourth position, the Venezuelan left us tricks of the caliber of the cashroll barrels or the backflip no hands. It is always a luxury to have Daniel Dhers with us. Pure spectacle.

Madrid has become the epicenter of international sport and culture throughout the weekend. The first on-site edition of Madrid Urban Sports has been held with a great success of spectators, more than 48,000 people, during the three days of the event. The facilities created for the occasion in the Madrid Río-Matadero park breathed a festive, sporting and cultural atmosphere with spectators of all ages.

Sport and urban culture are booming and the large number of attendees at the event has shown the interest of the people of Madrid in these trends. A potential that the Madrid City Council and Foro de Empresas already foresaw when they decided to hold Madrid Urban Sports in a space open to the city's public.

"We were clear that we wanted to bet on it and bring to all the people of Madrid these sports that are increasingly practiced in the streets of Madrid. The success of attendees shows that the City Council's bet has been more than right," said Sofia Miranda, Councillor for Sports, who has experienced first-hand the whole event.

Madrid has become Olympic during the weekend hosting the largest number of athletes and Olympic medalists in the same event. During the three days competitions of up to 6 different sports were held: skateboarding, BMX and 3x3 basketball, all of them Olympic disciplines, as well as roller freestyle, scooter and breaking, the latter, Olympic debutant in Paris 2024. "Having Olympic references in the different disciplines is one of the best examples to encourage young people in the capital to pursue their dreams. Perhaps the national participants of this first edition of Madrid Urban Sports could represent their country in future Olympic Games," said Councilwoman Miranda.

In total, more than 600 athletes from up to 25 different countries have gathered in the largest festival of sport and urban culture in the city.

Olympians Angelo Caro and Nick Bruce, the big winners

The presence of Olympic athletes has given prestige to Madrid Urban Sports and has raised the level of the competitions. In men's skateboarding, Peruvian Angelo Caro won the gold medal, showing the talent that took him to fifth place in the Tokyo Olympics. Caro performed the highest scoring trick of the competition in the best-tricks of the final.

Another highlight of the MUS was the BMX final, which drew thousands of people in front of Central Park. The American Nick Bruce was proclaimed champion with a very solid first attempt that earned him the gold medal. The Argentinian "Maligno" Torres won the silver and the Croatian Marin Rantes the bronze. On the other hand, Olympic medalist Daniel Dhers was just short of the podium, finishing fourth.

Madrid Urban Sports also hosted the Roller Freestyle competition. In the men's category, the champion was Raúl Quiles from Barcelona, who won gold, followed by Víctor Medrano and Abel Morales. Mery Muñoz from Bilbao won in the women's category, silver went to Eneritz Quincoces and Carla Martín was bronze.

In addition, throughout the day the stage of the Urban Stage has witnessed the spectacle of Breaking, a sport that will be Olympic in Paris 2024. The competition has had numerous participants, from children to older youth, and the show has become one of the most striking of the day.

The best international athletes in BMX, Roller Freestyle, Scooter and Skateboarding showed off impossible acrobatics in front of thousands of enthusiastic spectators. Urban sports fans but also families and spectators of all ages were able to enjoy a wide range of sports and urban culture throughout the day. 

The most acclaimed moment came late in the afternoon with the men's and women's street skateboarding finals. Olympian Angelo Caro made it clear why he achieved a great fifth place in Tokyo with an unparalleled display of tricks that brought him the gold medal of Madrid Urban Sports. Sofía Miranda, Madrid City Councillor for Sports, presented the medal to the champion.  After him in the classification, Richard Tury and Mauro Iglesias took silver and bronze, respectively. 

Spain's Valentina Planes slipped into third place on the podium in the women's final, bouncing back in the second round after a shocking fall that could have knocked her out of contention. The silver medal went to France's Charlotte Hym, while the gold medal went to Brazil's Virgina Cavalcante in a well-deserved victory. 

In the morning, Central Park was abuzz with excitement and passion, especially during the men's BMX semi-final where Olympic athlete Nick Bruce dominated, making him the favourite for gold in Sunday's final. Olympic medallist Daniel Dhers failed to make the top three but a fourth place finish secured him a place in the final.

• Peruvian Olympian Angelo Caro takes gold in men's Skateboarding. Silver for Richard Tury and bronze for Mauro Iglesias
• The women's final was won by Brazil's Virginia Cavalcante, followed by France's Charlotte Hym and Spain's Valentina Planes

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

The highlight of this Saturday's Madrid Urban Sports was the Skateboarding finals, which did not disappoint at all. The Street Plaza in the Madrid Río-Matadero park was the setting for some finals to remember.

More than a thousand people witnessed up close the tricks with which these brilliant skateboarders, many of them Olympians after participating in the premiere of Skateboarding at the Tokyo Games, delighted us.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

Angelo Caro rules the roost

Fifth at the Olympic Games, Angelo Caro shone again at the Madrid Urban Sports. The Peruvian has shown himself to be going from less to more with some very complete and high level rounds. Caro secured the gold with a bigger flip fs board and a gap 360 flip lipslide in the best trick. The latter was the highest scoring trick of the competition with a 90.

Silver went to Richard Tury, who, as always, proved that he is the king of the heelflip. The Slovakian was outstanding in the best-trick section, landing all three of his attempts, including a varial heelflip boardslide and a very complicated heelflip tailslide to fakie on the handrail of the Street Plaza.

The podium was completed by Mauro Iglesias, another of the great favourites, who was left with only the honey on his lips but who left us some great tricks to remember such as the gap flip backside lipslide on the downhill flat rail.

The only Spanish representative in the men's Skateboarding final was Rafa Bocanegra, who finished eighth with 40.89 points. The Cádiz native rubbed shoulders with the great giants with good rounds that got the home crowd off their seats. Unlucky in the best tricks, Bocanegra said goodbye to Madrid with a good feeling, being the Spanish representative among the top 8. 

The participation of the Slovak based in Barcelona, Chris Khan, who has made a very good performance and has been at the gates of the podium, finishing fourth with 61.22 points, was also remarkable.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Virginia Cavalcante rides to gold in women's final

The biggest name in the women's Skateboarding final was Virginia Cavalcante. The Brazilian gave a tremendous exhibition with high tricks such as a backside feeble on the handrail, a 360 flip or a backside boardslide. A pure and hard show that has earned her the gold medal.

Behind her finished the Olympian Charlotte Hym. Silver for the Frenchwoman, who was the favourite for the gold medal but had to settle for second place with 41 points and high quality tricks such as nollie heelflip and a frontside boardslide in one of the rails of the park.

The bronze medal had a Spanish flavour. Galician Valentina Planes has given us a lesson of courage and persistence to end up getting a well-deserved bronze medal with 39.67 points. Planes overcame a very hard fall in which she hit her face. Very tough, the Spaniard has returned to action delighting us with a great mastery of the quarter pipes of the park and tricks like the frontside smithgrind, the backside 5O or the frontside tailslide, which have earned her a place on the podium.

It was a very vibrant day with the city of Madrid overturned with the event and enjoying a magnificent free show and enormously appealing to audiences of all ages. A day to remember at Madrid Urban Sports.

The Central Park breathed clamour and passion for BMX this morning in the Madrid Rio park, in the event of culture and urban sport par excellence, the Madrid Urban Sports.

One thing was clear this weekend, BMX is a worldwide sensation after the last Tokyo Olympics and the public knows it. The crowd was enthusiastic, shouting and chanting like a Champions League final in one of the most important football fields in Europe.

After a few practices in which we have witnessed technical flashes of what awaited us in these semifinals of real madness.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

A great Pol Diaz in the first heat of the final

The semi-finals are carried out through the competition format developed by UCI and consists of two rounds for each rider of one minute each.

In the first heat we highlight the young Catalan rider from Igualada, Pol Diaz. Despite not making it to the final he had flashes of what is to come, a future Spanish talent. A good Superman flying over the fun box or his Oposite Table One Foot were some of the tricks that we highlighted from his heat.

The rest of the Spaniards like Arkaitz Armendariz or Jaime Francisco suffered falls that prevented them from getting better results during the competition.

Marin Rantes, Jose Torres and Nick Bruce are the best scores of these semi-finals. 

Nick Bruce started his round with a huge backflip double whip that touched the clouds. In addition to a 360º on the Spine, the American sealed his moment with a Double Downside Whip after an incredible Barrel on the Spine.

In second position, the great José Torres AKA Maligno did a 720º that left everyone in the audience and non-audience speechless. He also pulled the first barrel whip of the event out of his sleeve.

The third position went to Marin Rantes and from his tricks we highlight the impressive 360º of the Spine to the Vulcano or his Truckrider with Tailwhip.

This time Daniel Dhers was not among the top three, but he finished in fourth position, enough to get into the final. His start was epic, and never better said as the dj played us the great Canservero's "Es Epico", which together with the noise of encouragement produced by the Venezuelan community has made this one of the best moments of the weekend so far.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][vc_column_text]

The freestyle in all its essence came to the event of culture and urban sport, the Madrid Urban Sports.

Sixteen brave ones presented themselves after a hard-fought online preliminary phase centralized on the Urban Roosters website, where all participants uploaded a test video and out of 32, only 16 were to be chosen for the eighth face-to-face round at the event.

Urban Roosters provided a team of judges of the highest level composed of ELEKIPO, RETU, MARC and BABI.

A first test without elimination

Crossfire was the test chosen by the organization of Urban Roosters, a cowardice test that kicked off the competition. In this way, the judges, from 1 to 10, evaluate the competitors to carry out the order of the confrontations of the competition.

A two-round round of 16, Freestyle and words

We highlight the duel of Étiko against Masto. In this confrontation there was no mercy from Etiko, we all knew who was going to be the winner before starting the second round.

Despite not being able to beat the finalists ZAIKO and BIBI, EFE-R and CDFLEX showed that they were a step above the rest of the participants from a lyrical and lucid point of view. 

The city of Almeria can be proud. This great cradle of freestyle has brought two great MC's who have managed to make a great role and also will remain for the memory of the event.

In the semifinal we had fr and cdflex two mcs from Almeria. And a very close semifinal of which only two could pass.

The grand final Zaiko against Bibi

The final had an indisputable winner. ZAIKO destroyed BIBI in the three rounds. There was no Réplica. Zaragoza slept proud.

Also we can’t forget that MUS is an Olympic  qualifying event so my objective is to win.” Teresa Fernández, Spanish champion in the MUS 2021 and icon athlete in BMX discipline commented that  "In MUS 2021 i felt very supported and i hope to repeat it this year despite the fact that we have in the competition the 3 Olympic medalist of Tokyo 2020, which motivates me especially to give my best.”    [gallery size="full" ids="3648,3646,3644"]   Five hubs for five sports Madrid will be the epicenter of sport and urban culture in June. Five sports and four of them with a female category, will be the attraction of this great event.

The ones that will hold urban sports competitions: Madrid Rio Skatepark, the scene of Bowl Competitions, the urban stage that will hold the Breaking competition and el ‘Matadero’, that will host 3x3 urban basketball. And the two others to enjoy the urban culture: ‘La explanada negra’ where the Central park and the Street Plaza will be located and the live show, located near the Manzanares river that will be a scenario for art and urban artists. In this ‘live show’ the urban music will also be the main character of MUS in this 2nd edition with Youngblood Rap Battles and Madrid urban music artists.  “Young people are increasingly interested in new urban sports, which is why we are committed to making this great event and essentia date in the annual calendar of the city", said Sofía Miranda, Councilwoman of sports area. Also she has highlighted that "having the great Olympic references of these urban disciplines in Madrid is one of the best examples to encourage young people to pursue their dreams" commented Sofia Miranda, Sports city councilwoman in Madrid.   The students in Madrid are learning how to skateboard.  Not only MUS is a competition with the greatests urban athletes, for the city is also a great opportunity to bring urban sports to young students of primary and secondary schools in Madrid.  Also this year the MUS wants to support the local scene of skateboarding, because of that the MUS has created the MUS Open qualifier, event scheduled for next Saturday May 28th at the skateplaza of Tetuán with the mission to offer the option to the best skaters of Madrid to compete against international athletes in the Madrid Urban Sports. Victor Casanovas, Manager director of SevenMila and organizer of the event said “I have to thank the City Council of madrid for the facility to organize this event that occupies more than 1 km2 of extension and also thank the 'Real Federaciones Españolas de Basket, patinaje y ciclismo'. We see the MUS as an opportunity for young athletes to shine and also they can beat the international and olympic athletes. All this experience is also reflected with urban culture elements like the music or the rap battles.”  The MUS is Madrid’s greatest bet, to become the epicenter of the sport and urban culture and has the support of Madrid City Council and ‘Foro de empresas’. This event is part of the official calendar of the ‘Madrid World Capital of Sport 2022’ and aims to position the city as a sports reference worldwide.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]" ["post_title"]=> string(67) "The Olympic race in urban sports starts at Madrid Urban Sports 2022" ["post_excerpt"]=> string(0) "" ["post_status"]=> string(7) "publish" ["comment_status"]=> string(4) "open" ["ping_status"]=> string(4) "open" ["post_password"]=> string(0) "" ["post_name"]=> string(82) "la-carrera-olimpica-de-los-deportes-urbanos-empieza-en-el-madrid-urban-sports-2022" ["to_ping"]=> string(0) "" ["pinged"]=> string(0) "" ["post_modified"]=> string(19) "2022-05-11 10:30:22" ["post_modified_gmt"]=> string(19) "2022-05-11 10:30:22" ["post_content_filtered"]=> string(0) "" ["post_parent"]=> int(0) ["guid"]=> string(113) "https://madridurbansports.com/la-carrera-olimpica-de-los-deportes-urbanos-empieza-en-el-madrid-urban-sports-2022/" ["menu_order"]=> int(0) ["post_type"]=> string(4) "post" ["post_mime_type"]=> string(0) "" ["comment_count"]=> string(1) "0" ["filter"]=> string(3) "raw" } [11]=> object(WP_Post)#5802 (24) { ["ID"]=> int(2589) ["post_author"]=> string(1) "3" ["post_date"]=> string(19) "2022-03-14 10:55:11" ["post_date_gmt"]=> string(19) "2022-03-14 10:55:11" ["post_content"]=> string(6329) "[vc_row full_width="stretch_row"][vc_column css=".vc_custom_1633510107869{background-color: #ffffff !important;}"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

The huge line-up of athletes presented by Madrid Urban Sports in its first on-site edition has left us with moments to remember and great winners in each of the disciplines that have been held in the Madrid Río-Matadero Park.

Drawing up a list of the most successful athletes of the event is always complicated, as we have witnessed a very high level among the participants, but we leave you below a selection of the athletes who have climbed to the top of the podium in Madrid, hanging the desired gold medal.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

ANGELO CARO

The presence of Olympic athletes in this MUS has raised the level of the event and has given it international prestige. One of the big names we had marked in red in our minds was the Peruvian skateboarder Angelo Caro. After finishing fifth at the Tokyo Olympics, Caro did not disappoint and was proclaimed Men's Skateboard champion with some very complete and high level rounds.

The Peruvian distilled flow to blow up the Street Plaza with a gap 360 flip lipslide in the best trick, the highest scoring trick of the competition with a 90. Much was expected of Angelo Caro and he didn’t disappoint. Pure spectacle in Madrid.

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="2347" img_size="full"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][vc_column_text]

VIRGINIA CAVALCANTE

South America has tinged the Madrid Urban Sports with Latin rhythm, and for rhythm the Brazilian Virginia Cavalcante, who won the gold medal in women's skateboarding thanks to an excellent final. The skateboarder from Rio de Janeiro showed off with tricks such as a backside feeble on the handrail, a 360 flip or a backside boardslide.

A lot of talent and self-confidence that have helped her to get on the top of the podium in Madrid ahead of an Olympian like the French Charlotte Hym, who started as a big favourite.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

NICK BRUCE

One of the most crowded finals of the Madrid Urban Sports was the BMX. The Madrid Río-Matadero Park was flooded with spectators to follow the grand final from Central Park. Olympian Nick Bruce was crowned champion after a perfect first round in which he left us speechless. The American delighted us with a huge backflip triple whip and a cork 720 executed to perfection. With a score of 91.67 points, Bruce was even able to relax and show off in his second round.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][vc_single_image image="2349" img_size="full"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

Nick Bruce has beaten names like the Argentinean "Maligno" Torres, the Croatian Marin Rantes or the medallist in Tokyo, Daniel Dhers, one of the most acclaimed of the afternoon.

LUCAS DIMEGLIO

With a new exhibition, Lucas DiMeglio dominated the Scooter Street competition with an iron fist and won the gold medal without giving his rivals a chance. The Frenchman, reigning world champion, only needed one round to secure his victory. His always spectacular style has uncovered the admiration of the public in the Street Plaza of Madrid, and with 83.50 points he has climbed to the top of the podium. The Frenchman is in superb form after also winning the World Championships in Barcelona, and seems to have no rival who can overshadow him.

JAMIE HULL

With a blatant authority, Jamie Hull is the other great winner of the Scooter in the MUS, in this case in the Park category. The Briton led the ranking from the start of the competition to the end, leaving his opponents far behind. The ease with which he landed his spectacular tricks has left the public, judges and rivals speechless. It will take a long time to forget the double backflip double whip he landed with such ease. In fact, Hull has been the only rider able to iron two double backflips in his rounds.

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="2356" img_size="full" alignment="center"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

RAÚL QUILES

The Roller Freestyle competition has been another of the pleasant surprises of this Madrid Urban Sports. The champion was Raúl Quiles, who left us absolutely perplexed with a double backflip to start his round and show us the spectacular nature of this discipline. With a score of 82.33 points, the Barcelona native climbed to the top of the podium to take the gold medal in an all-Spanish competition that left a great sensation.

MERY MUÑOZ

Also in Roller Freestyle, but in the women's category, Mery Muñoz won by only 33 tenths of a second to be proclaimed champion of the competition. The Bilbao native narrowly beat Eneritz Quincoces to win gold in a final full of Spaniards. A score of 57.33 points brought Muñoz to glory in Madrid, making her one of the best skaters in Roller Freestyle today.

• Jamie Hull wins the gold medal at the Scooter Park final, followed by Leo Spencer and Anthony Grant

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

To close the Madrid Urban Sports it was time for the Scooter. In its Park and Street modalities, this discipline has made us vibrate with its spectacularity and dynamism.

The Scooter Park final was a real exhibition of the best riders in the world who gathered in the Central Park of Madrid Río-Matadero. The Madrid public enjoyed for the first time a Scooter competition of the highest international level in their city.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

Jamie Hull sweeps the board

From the semi-finals to the final, Jamie Hull was unrivalled. The Briton put in two absolutely perfect rounds. All the tricks were cleanly landed and he was the only rider to land two doubles in his rounds.

Spectators will never forget the double backflip double whip that Hull landed with crushing ease.

Leo Spencer took silver, confirming the dominance of British riders in this speciality. The podium was closed by the Swiss Anthony Grant, who was able to perform a totally different round than his opponents, making it clear that he is one of the most creative athletes in the sport.

The young Spanish rider has been postulated as one of the candidates to dominate this speciality in the near future. Perez has been able to rub shoulders with the best, achieving a valuable fifth position and has lifted the crowd from the stands during his rounds.

His 540 flair has its own stamp and to round off his performance he delighted us with a quintuple backflip whip.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Lucas DiMeglio dominates with authority

The reigning world champion of this speciality has given no option to any of his rivals. The Frenchman has shown once again that he is a step above the rest of the athletes. He only needed the first round to secure the gold in the final that closed the Madrid Urban Sports 2021.

The rider from Navas, Guifré Obradors, won the silver medal with an absolutely stellar performance. His rounds have driven the crowd of a packed Street Plaza crazy. With the great support of the home crowd, Obradors has ironed some great tricks like the gap heelwhip to lipslide on the flat rail down. The trick combinations were so complicated that it is hard to describe them.

Frenchman Mathias Villers was the big surprise of this final and against all odds he won the bronze medal. Consistency and creativity defined his performance in this great final.

One of the highlights of Madrid Urban Sports 2021 was the BMX final. Pure and hard show, improbable tricks and amazing acrobatics on two wheels. The Central Park of Madrid Río-Matadero has been filled as never before to enjoy a tremendous final.

The incredible atmosphere was accompanied by a high level of sportsmanship. The best international riders have given everything in a beautiful final.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][vc_column_text]

Gold for Nick Bruce

The American is a life insurance. He does not make mistakes. With a great first round Nick Bruce has been enough to proclaim champion and hang the gold medal in Madrid. Bruce has achieved a record of 91.67 points and has delighted us with a huge backflip triple whip and a cork 720 executed to perfection. The American dominated the competition so much that he was even able to relax on his second attempt after seeing himself as the winner.

Close behind him was Jose "Maligno" Torres with 90 points. The Argentinean had to settle for the silver medal as he did in the Extreme Barcelona, and it will not be for not having left us with our mouths open. Flying as always very high, "Maligno" has left tricks like a huge 360 transfer between two modules that were more than 6 meters apart.

With the permission of these two BMX giants, one of the great sensations of the competition was the Croatian Marin Rantes, who slipped onto the podium after lifting the audience out of their seats with fantasy tricks. A lot of magic and a lot of talent. The combinations of barspins and tailwhips were endless.

Despite being the most acclaimed of the final, the Venezuelan Daniel Dhers could not give a joy to the huge community that supported him and has been left off the podium. After a very demanding few months, Dhers did not feel too comfortable on the track during the whole weekend, and it was evident in the final. Despite his fourth position, the Venezuelan left us tricks of the caliber of the cashroll barrels or the backflip no hands. It is always a luxury to have Daniel Dhers with us. Pure spectacle.

Madrid has become the epicenter of international sport and culture throughout the weekend. The first on-site edition of Madrid Urban Sports has been held with a great success of spectators, more than 48,000 people, during the three days of the event. The facilities created for the occasion in the Madrid Río-Matadero park breathed a festive, sporting and cultural atmosphere with spectators of all ages.

Sport and urban culture are booming and the large number of attendees at the event has shown the interest of the people of Madrid in these trends. A potential that the Madrid City Council and Foro de Empresas already foresaw when they decided to hold Madrid Urban Sports in a space open to the city's public.

"We were clear that we wanted to bet on it and bring to all the people of Madrid these sports that are increasingly practiced in the streets of Madrid. The success of attendees shows that the City Council's bet has been more than right," said Sofia Miranda, Councillor for Sports, who has experienced first-hand the whole event.

Madrid has become Olympic during the weekend hosting the largest number of athletes and Olympic medalists in the same event. During the three days competitions of up to 6 different sports were held: skateboarding, BMX and 3x3 basketball, all of them Olympic disciplines, as well as roller freestyle, scooter and breaking, the latter, Olympic debutant in Paris 2024. "Having Olympic references in the different disciplines is one of the best examples to encourage young people in the capital to pursue their dreams. Perhaps the national participants of this first edition of Madrid Urban Sports could represent their country in future Olympic Games," said Councilwoman Miranda.

In total, more than 600 athletes from up to 25 different countries have gathered in the largest festival of sport and urban culture in the city.

Olympians Angelo Caro and Nick Bruce, the big winners

The presence of Olympic athletes has given prestige to Madrid Urban Sports and has raised the level of the competitions. In men's skateboarding, Peruvian Angelo Caro won the gold medal, showing the talent that took him to fifth place in the Tokyo Olympics. Caro performed the highest scoring trick of the competition in the best-tricks of the final.

Another highlight of the MUS was the BMX final, which drew thousands of people in front of Central Park. The American Nick Bruce was proclaimed champion with a very solid first attempt that earned him the gold medal. The Argentinian "Maligno" Torres won the silver and the Croatian Marin Rantes the bronze. On the other hand, Olympic medalist Daniel Dhers was just short of the podium, finishing fourth.

Madrid Urban Sports also hosted the Roller Freestyle competition. In the men's category, the champion was Raúl Quiles from Barcelona, who won gold, followed by Víctor Medrano and Abel Morales. Mery Muñoz from Bilbao won in the women's category, silver went to Eneritz Quincoces and Carla Martín was bronze.

In addition, throughout the day the stage of the Urban Stage has witnessed the spectacle of Breaking, a sport that will be Olympic in Paris 2024. The competition has had numerous participants, from children to older youth, and the show has become one of the most striking of the day.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

A great Jaime Mateu takes the first prize in the Bowl competition

Olympian Jaime Mateu won the 1000€ prize thanks to tricks like a perfect frontside blunt, 540º, nollie bs 360, frontside river or a backside steelfish.

Jaime shared the podium with Frenchman Jean Pantaleon thanks to his almost two-meter fly performing a perfect steelfish, in fact the 750€ prize he won was thanks to being the man of the heights of the event.

In third place Miki Huercano won €350 thanks to a good blunt flip after several attempts to perform it.

Finally Stellio Sake won a well-deserved €100. He is the Nollie man.

Spain's Valentina Planes slipped into third place on the podium in the women's final, bouncing back in the second round after a shocking fall that could have knocked her out of contention. The silver medal went to France's Charlotte Hym, while the gold medal went to Brazil's Virgina Cavalcante in a well-deserved victory. 

In the morning, Central Park was abuzz with excitement and passion, especially during the men's BMX semi-final where Olympic athlete Nick Bruce dominated, making him the favourite for gold in Sunday's final.

The highlight of this Saturday's Madrid Urban Sports was the Skateboarding finals, which did not disappoint at all. The Street Plaza in the Madrid Río-Matadero park was the setting for some finals to remember.

More than a thousand people witnessed up close the tricks with which these brilliant skateboarders, many of them Olympians after participating in the premiere of Skateboarding at the Tokyo Games, delighted us.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

Angelo Caro rules the roost

Fifth at the Olympic Games, Angelo Caro shone again at the Madrid Urban Sports. The Peruvian has shown himself to be going from less to more with some very complete and high level rounds. Caro secured the gold with a bigger flip fs board and a gap 360 flip lipslide in the best trick. The latter was the highest scoring trick of the competition with a 90.

Silver went to Richard Tury, who, as always, proved that he is the king of the heelflip. The Slovakian was outstanding in the best-trick section, landing all three of his attempts, including a varial heelflip boardslide and a very complicated heelflip tailslide to fakie on the handrail of the Street Plaza.

The podium was completed by Mauro Iglesias, another of the great favourites, who was left with only the honey on his lips but who left us some great tricks to remember such as the gap flip backside lipslide on the downhill flat rail.

The only Spanish representative in the men's Skateboarding final was Rafa Bocanegra, who finished eighth with 40.89 points. The Cádiz native rubbed shoulders with the great giants with good rounds that got the home crowd off their seats. Unlucky in the best tricks, Bocanegra said goodbye to Madrid with a good feeling, being the Spanish representative among the top 8. 

The participation of the Slovak based in Barcelona, Chris Khan, who has made a very good performance and has been at the gates of the podium, finishing fourth with 61.22 points, was also remarkable.

The biggest name in the women's Skateboarding final was Virginia Cavalcante. The Brazilian gave a tremendous exhibition with high tricks such as a backside feeble on the handrail, a 360 flip or a backside boardslide. A pure and hard show that has earned her the gold medal.

Behind her finished the Olympian Charlotte Hym. Silver for the Frenchwoman, who was the favourite for the gold medal but had to settle for second place with 41 points and high quality tricks such as nollie heelflip and a frontside boardslide in one of the rails of the park.

The bronze medal had a Spanish flavour. Galician Valentina Planes has given us a lesson of courage and persistence to end up getting a well-deserved bronze medal with 39.67 points. Planes overcame a very hard fall in which she hit her face. Very tough, the Spaniard has returned to action delighting us with a great mastery of the quarter pipes of the park and tricks like the frontside smithgrind, the backside 5O or the frontside tailslide, which have earned her a place on the podium.

It was a very vibrant day with the city of Madrid overturned with the event and enjoying a magnificent free show and enormously appealing to audiences of all ages. A day to remember at Madrid Urban Sports.

The Central Park breathed clamour and passion for BMX this morning in the Madrid Rio park, in the event of culture and urban sport par excellence, the Madrid Urban Sports.

One thing was clear this weekend, BMX is a worldwide sensation after the last Tokyo Olympics and the public knows it. The crowd was enthusiastic, shouting and chanting like a Champions League final in one of the most important football fields in Europe.

After a few practices in which we have witnessed technical flashes of what awaited us in these semifinals of real madness.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

A great Pol Diaz in the first heat of the final

The semi-finals are carried out through the competition format developed by UCI and consists of two rounds for each rider of one minute each.

In the first heat we highlight the young Catalan rider from Igualada, Pol Diaz. Despite not making it to the final he had flashes of what is to come, a future Spanish talent. A good Superman flying over the fun box or his Oposite Table One Foot were some of the tricks that we highlighted from his heat.

The rest of the Spaniards like Arkaitz Armendariz or Jaime Francisco suffered falls that prevented them from getting better results during the competition.

Marin Rantes, Jose Torres and Nick Bruce are the best scores of these semi-finals. 

Nick Bruce started his round with a huge backflip double whip that touched the clouds. In addition to a 360º on the Spine, the American sealed his moment with a Double Downside Whip after an incredible Barrel on the Spine.

In second position, the great José Torres AKA Maligno did a 720º that left everyone in the audience and non-audience speechless. He also pulled the first barrel whip of the event out of his sleeve.

The third position went to Marin Rantes and from his tricks we highlight the impressive 360º of the Spine to the Vulcano or his Truckrider with Tailwhip.

This time Daniel Dhers was not among the top three, but he finished in fourth position, enough to get into the final. His start was epic, and never better said as the dj played us the great Canservero's "Es Epico", which together with the noise of encouragement produced by the Venezuelan community has made this one of the best moments of the weekend so far.

The freestyle in all its essence came to the event of culture and urban sport, the Madrid Urban Sports.

Sixteen brave ones presented themselves after a hard-fought online preliminary phase centralized on the Urban Roosters website, where all participants uploaded a test video and out of 32, only 16 were to be chosen for the eighth face-to-face round at the event.

Urban Roosters provided a team of judges of the highest level composed of ELEKIPO, RETU, MARC and BABI.

A first test without elimination

Crossfire was the test chosen by the organization of Urban Roosters, a cowardice test that kicked off the competition. In this way, the judges, from 1 to 10, evaluate the competitors to carry out the order of the confrontations of the competition.

A two-round round of 16, Freestyle and words

We highlight the duel of Étiko against Masto. In this confrontation there was no mercy from Etiko, we all knew who was going to be the winner before starting the second round.

The city of Almeria can be proud. This great cradle of freestyle has brought two great MC's who have managed to make a great role and also will remain for the memory of the event.

In the semifinal we had fr and cdflex two mcs from Almeria. And a very close semifinal of which only two could pass.

The grand final Zaiko against Bibi

The final had an indisputable winner. ZAIKO destroyed BIBI in the three rounds. There was no Réplica. Zaragoza slept proud.

• The Madrid Río - Matadero facilities are getting ready to welcome athletes and visitors on the weekend of 10-12 June

 

• Art, Music and much more in an epic weekend in Madrid

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Madrid Urban Sports is a national and international reference for urban culture. It will be held in Madrid from 10 to 12 June at the Madrid Río-Matadero facilities. Visitors will be able to enjoy competitions in the five disciplines: BMX, Skate, Scooter,  Street and Breaking, with the participation of many Olympic athletes. [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="3649,3294"] Urban sports always go hand in hand with music and urban art, so these will be two of the main activities apart from the competitions that everyone will be able to enjoy in Madrid Río-Matadero. The sprays come together into Manzanares Town, a space where 20 artists will colour white murals located in the Matadero area. A creative space with the collaboration of Wallspot, StreetArtInAction, Puppets and the support of Montana to show the most 'underground' form of artistic expression in Madrid. [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="3205,3173"] [/vc_column_text][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGflAFdN1Sg"][vc_column_text]Urban culture cannot be understood without its music. The second edition of YoungBlood kicks off with Urban Roosters, where young freestylers from Madrid will gather on the Urban Stage to showcase their fluency and improvisation. We will also be able to count on renowned urban artists in the 'Flex Moments', well-known faces from the Spanish urban scene who will be in charge of setting the mood for the visitors before the finals and closing the days of the event. Madrid Urban Sports will also offer a market and food trucks area for visitors. In the market, you will be able to find the official UWS and MUS shops, therabody, lawak, underdist, mad ramps, Krom Kedama and our sponsors: Nerf and Seat MÓ. For all those visitors who need to refuel for the afternoon competitions, there will be a food truck area, with options for all tastes and varieties.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]" ["post_title"]=> string(22) "What to do at the MUS?"
