Last weekend the second race of Latvian downhill series 2015 was held in Madona city biathlon complex – ‘’Madona longboard challenge’’!
On the first day riders from Latvia and Estonia competed in downhill.

For ladies last two years champion Elīza Marija Gailīte was the fastest just 0,8 sec in front of Lauma Stepanova. Third Liene Bērziņa.
For Masters Andrejs Solncevs surprised everbody winning the qualification.
In finals Emīls Ieviņš won the junior title, Edžus Konošonoks won the Masters division (quali winner Solncevs crashed in semifinal), but for ladies Stepanova won with just less than a meter in front of Gailīte.
In Open the final was super dramatic. Gustavs Gailītis was in the lead from start till the end & Toms Dreiblats grabbed 2nd spot while brothers Klāvs & Kaspars Balamovskis crashed, but Klāvs managed to get his first podium!
On the second day the skate&shoot aka longboarding biathlon was held – for ladies 3rd place went to Arta Skudrēna, 2nd to Elīza Marija Gailīte & 1st to Elza Volonte!
