Britain's Bethany Shriever won her fourth elite world title at the UCI BMX Racing World Championships after high winds forced organisers to abandon the final on day two of competition. The result marks a historic achievement for the British rider, extending her record of success at the sport's top level even though the deciding race could not be completed as planned.

With persistent strong winds making conditions too dangerous to continue, officials determined the standings using times from the last completed rounds, ranking riders by their lap times rather than the outcome of an unfinished final. This unusual conclusion still stood as an official result, confirming Shriever's title in Britain's favour.
