It feels fantastic. It's big. I've worked hard for this and can be satisfied, says Torhall to SVT.
20-year-old Elis Torhall from Jönköping is a world star in the sport and has won the total World Cup three years in a row, but has been injured during the summer.
So the pressure was on him. But the competition program went perfectly.
It went really well. I followed the rules and got my points as expected and I'm satisfied, says Torhall.
It's only the second time an official World Championship in parkour is being held, a sport where participants perform advanced tricks in an urban environment or on an obstacle course.
Just minutes after the Swedish gold, another medal came. Miranda Tibbling secured a bronze in the speed discipline, just two months after undergoing surgery for a meniscus injury. The Swede took gold in speed at the World Championship 2022.
I couldn't jump three weeks ago, so I don't understand how this happened. It's completely crazy, says Tibbling to SVT.
