Julian Salmonn: Spectacular Vice World Championship title at the Windsurf event

The Windsurf World Cup on Gran Canaria has impressively showed this year what both potential and strategic skills in sport can mean. Julian Salmonn, a talented windsurf from Gießen, impressed the Windsurf community with his outstanding appearance in Pozo by securing second place-the best result of his career during a top-class event.

an outstanding format

The PWA/IWT Windsurf World Cup, which took place in Pozo in July, introduced a new system this year that confirmed elimination over places one to eight, followed by a double elimination. This novelty brought more excitement into the competitions and placed high demands on the participants because every placement was decisive. The scene, especially known for its extremely strong winds and challenging waves, makes Gran Canaria a feared but exciting place for windsurfers.

Julian Salmonn's spectacular achievements

Julian Salmonn, who was initially surrounded by many strong windsurfers, kept his competition in chess through a conscious tactic. While other drivers such as Marcilio Browne, the reigning world champion, set up on jumps, Salmonn concentrated on the combination of wave rides and jumps, which should turn out to be skilful. In the semi -finals, Salmonn impressed the audience when he landed a high, stylish backloop at the crucial moment and thus secured the entry into the final.

argument in the final

In the final he met his friend and training partner Marino Gil Gherardi, who lives in Pozo and is very familiar with the local conditions. The competition was highly competitive. Gherardi showed outstanding achievements with an almost perfect Pushloop Forward, which was rated with 9.57 points of a maximum 10 points. Despite Salmonn's enormous talent and his will, it was Gherardi who ultimately won the title.

meaning for the future

For Julian Salmonn, second place not only means a personal triumph, but also ensures a positive view of the future of his windsurfing career. With this remarkable result, he becomes eighth place in the annual ranking, which makes him a serious competitor. The event on Gran Canaria was also the most successful event for the German Windsurfer Lina Erpenstein, who also took second place in the women's ranking.

outlook on upcoming events

With further upcoming championships on Tenerife and Sylt as well as the showdown for the World Cup in Maui/Hawaii in November, the Windsurf community will be curious to see how Julian Salmonn and his colleagues will develop further. The success on Gran Canaria could be the turning point in his career, and the next competitions will certainly arouse great expectations.
