American Trent Stuckey and Elena Bodi of Spain overcame some of the world's best wakeboarders to emerge victorious at the ninth edition of Red Bull WakeDuel at the iconic 313 cable park in Lithuania.
As one of the most prestigious wakeboarding events on the international calendar, Red Bull WakeDuel drew competitors from around the world to Lithuania for an intense international qualification day.
In total, 32 men and 16 women competed for the chance to participate in the main event held on a demanding course at 313 cable park.
In the women's competition, River Hendrick and Claudia Pagnini were seen as two of the favorites for the title.
Still, it was Bodi who triumphed after overcoming Katinka Buiting in a tense final.
Pagnini took third after defeating Sanne Meijer.
"Crazy. I don't have words to describe how I feel right now. Just thanks to everyone, because that's why I'm here. I'm so happy," Bodi said.
In the men's event, Gavin Stuckey overcame Pedro Caldas before Trent Stuckey got the better of Kieran Owens to set up a historic battle between the two American brothers.
In the final, it was Trent who emerged victorious, securing his second victory of the week, where he also won the Best Air Trick.
Meanwhile, Pedro Caldas took third place.
"I went head-to-head with Gavin in the semi-finals last year, and he took the win from me, so it was nice to get it back from him. It means a lot," added Trent Stuckey.
"We got super lucky with the draws, starting on opposite sides and meeting in the final. Also, the park has so many features and so many possibilities. It brings out your creative side."
