And it is a wrap for the very first WKC Freestyle event that took place in Akyaya, Turkey from the 4th to 9th of September.
The event was a real success with a great weather and wind conditions and a high kiteboarding freestyle level with very talented riders coming from all around the world.
In the Women’s final the young Mikaili Sol wasted no time at all, opening with a Heart Attack that scored her 8.7 points, followed by a Slim5 scoring an astounding 9.5 points. But she didn’t stop there, throwing out a KGB that gave her 9.83, there was no doubt that this young superstar was worthy of the win, claiming the 1st position here in Akyaka.
Rider: Mikaili Sol
Paula Novotna from the Czech Republic is a powerful and strong athlete with more competition experience than her opponents. She clearly had her eye on a podium spot from the start, and she launched into each trick with speed and determination, finishing her heat with a 9.07 score for her Heart Attack, launching her into 2nd place.

Francesca Bagnoli from Italy came so close, and locked down the last podium spot after stomping many impressive tricks including a good Hinterberger Mobe. She finishes this event in 3rd place. Newcomer Claudia Leon held her ground extremely well during the final, despite crashing two trick attempts. She landed an impressive Slimchance and S-Bend to Blind, riding with great style. She finished the event in 4th place, a great result for her first WKC Elite Championship.
