Jenny Rissveds Secures Double World Cup Wins Before World Championship

Jenny Rissveds shows top form. After double European Championship gold a month ago, the Swedish star continues to dominate the World Cup in mountain bike.

In French Les Gets, she lined up two victories in the World Cup over the weekend. On Friday, she won the short distance – and on Sunday, she was also superior on the Olympic distance.

Rissveds pulled away early and crossed the finish line a whole minute and twelve seconds before the Swiss Alessandra Keller.

The result means that the Swede is now second in the overall World Cup standings, where only New Zealand's Sammie Maxwell is ahead.

The form indication comes perfectly in time before the World Championship in Valais, Switzerland, which starts on September 7.

31-year-old Rissveds took Olympic gold in 2016 and Olympic bronze in Paris last year.
