Launching his sprint 150 meters from the line, the 22 -year -old American dug a good gap on his rivals before winning widely. He was able to savor and raise his arms, a first for him for … a little over a year and his victory at Ostrava at the opening of the 2024 edition of the Czech event, which he particularly seems to appreciate!
