![]() Bronze: Henrique Avancini (Brazil, Mountain Bike) The Mercedes-Benz UCI Mountain Bike World Cup had two rounds in Nové Město na Moravě, Czechia. The first one was not good for Henrique Avancini: he fell down in the short course and only managed to finish 12th, in a race won by José Gerardo Ulloa (MEX), who had beaten him at the Pan-American Games when the Brazilian had mechanical issues. Then he came back to finish 5th in the Olympic distance race. But he then redeemed himself by taking both the Short-track and Cross-Country Olympic races in the second round with spectacular sprints.
