In Bart´s first year with Powerslide and Matter he celebrated his best ever year at a World Championships with three gold medals. He has won the road 20.000 m elimination before, but this time he added the road relay and the marathon to his collection. However many people at hte championships commented that his 3rd place in the track 15.000 m elimination was equally as impressive because of the fact that he was involved in a crash early in the race and had to chase to get back on. After a small break, Bart will hit the ice as he continues his quest for the 2014 Olympic Games.

15.879 seconds. Thats all it took for Joseba to make history in San Benedetto. The man from Spain blasted out of the blocks, and 15.879 seconds later he won gold and was the first man in history to go below the 16 second mark in 200 m TT. A silver medal in the 300 m TT on track was a nice warm up to his success on road.

Ewen by his own admission didn´t have a lot of fun on the track at the World Championships. A little bit of bad luck and a near miss cost him dearly, but he more than made up for it on the road. A super strong display early on in the 10.000 m points race saw him build a lead

that nobody else could match. A nice bronze medal in the marathon finished off a great Championships for Ewen.

“Kathi” had some pressure on her shoulders heading into these championships because it was her last year in the junior cat-egory. She played it very smart this year and only targeted events where she knew she had a good chance of medals or even winning. The 1.000 m on track was a nice start with a silver medal, but coming in the final days of racing she only got better. A Stunning performance in the relay saw he move from 4th to 1st in the last lap and collected gold for the German relay team.Add to that her Gold Medal in the marathon it was an impressive end to her junior career.

Two girls from our PS/MAtter World team, both palyed important parts for their nationa relay teams. Relays are

always very crazy rules. Six teams that always seem to want the same place on the track. Luisa was part of the Colom-bian team that won the track relay, and Sabine was part of the German team

that was second.

We all know Bart Swings has class. Bucket loads of it, but in a relay event even

superman can´t win alone, enter Ferre Spruyt and Jore van den Berghe. Both

skaters race for PS on our Vi-G13 team, and both skaters provided Bart with the

support he need to bring home relay gold. The road relay is all about positioning, makeing sure your last skater is in the

correct position heading in the last lap. As soon as Bart started the last lap with the sniff of victory it was always going to be

difficult for the rest of the field.VI PRO CARBON 2013
