Ottensheimer Mariella Flemme (19) bronze at the European Wakeboard Championships

Ottensheim/Great Britain. Mariella Flemme from Ottensheim won bronze at the Cable Wakeboard European Championships in Great Britain with an excellent second final run. Immediately after passing the high school diploma, you can celebrate the first medal in the general class. The 19-year-old is Austria's most successful wakeboarder.

Mariella Flemme, Austria's most successful wakeboarder, skipped school and went straight to the Cable European Championships in Sandwich, Great Britain. But it didn't start according to plan as an early fall prevented him from directly entering the semi-finals. The 19-year-old managed to make it back to the semi-finals as everything went according to plan in the last chance qualifier.

Bronze in General Class

For the top six final, we had to take full risks from the start, in consultation with ÖWWV Wakeboard National Coach Joe Kok. In the first two runs, of which only the best one was decided, the world number two far outpaced the strong competition, including Reilly with a particularly impressive 313 and 360-degree spin. She fell for a 720 during the final kicker's last trick, which had to be corrected in the second run. With small improvements on the rails, clean air tricks including a 313 and a dosite backhand 540 on the kicker, Mariella Flemmi took bronze in the general class after gold and silver in the junior categories in 2019 and 2022. 13-time world champion Julia Rigg of Germany won gold ahead of Italy's Nicole Regasso.

The masters of Upper Austria were defeated

Austria's men's team unfortunately failed to qualify, with Dennis Dornwaard from Tyrol and Jan Rammelmühler from Upper Austria. Germany's Max Milte won the European Championship title.

3-star tournament in Feldkirchen

A number of World Tour events continue on the tournament calendar in the coming weeks, including the 2006 World Cup venue and 3-star tournament at Jetlake Feldkirchen, the venue for the 2006 World Cup, at the end of September. With the World Games to be held in China in 2025, it is important to collect as many world ranking points as possible this year to secure one of the coveted starting spots. Mariella Flemme, currently ranked second in the world, already has a good chance of securing a starting spot.
