Watercross European Championship:
Oskar Jernberg claims the title
It was a tense day of twists, turns and drama – plus the sport’s ultimate achievement of a clean victory – as competitors in the Watercross European Championship fired into action at Bardufoss, Norway, for the single round of the season.
The third edition of the European Championship ensured thrilling moments, as seen in Sodankyla, Finland, in 2018 and 2019, with good racing on a fast but technical track with two different alternative “joker” tracks, which all the riders tested during the qualifying.
Three qualifying heats -D,C,B- determined positions for the Final.
Only the winner of the D-final advanced to the C-final and so on.
Local hero Oskar Jernberg shone winning all his qualifying heats and the A-final. He showed a clear superiority with his Polaris.
Finnish rider Jani Tryyki raced brilliantly and with his Lynx managed to advance from the D-final to the A-final finishing second overall.
The bronze medal went to Jolma Juha, from Finland.
