<div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Touted by the skaters as one of the best park designs in Park Series history, the new <em><strong><a href="https://www.boardriding.com/Spots/utah-state-fairpark" target="_blank">Vans-Utah Sports Commission skatepark</a></strong></em> proved to be the perfect terrain for 2019 VPS Champion <em><strong><a href="https://www.boardriding.com/Riders/oskar-rozenberg-hallberg" target="_blank">Oskar Rozenberg Hallberg</a></strong></em>. Hallberg showed unswerving determination early on in the competition, with consistent runs mastering the new course. Oski’s creativity and improvisation ultimately made for one of the most exciting runs of the Park Series to date. His inspiring mix of tricks and lines got the crowd’s attention as they chanted his name, and placed him atop the leader board unrivaled by the field. This win marks Hallberg’s second world championship title.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Former world champion <em><strong><a href="https://www.boardriding.com/Riders/alessandro-sorgente" target="_blank">Alex Sorgente</a></strong></em> laid down the best of his technical style in hopes for a third championship title, but fell slightly short in his later runs, while <em><strong><a href="https://www.boardriding.com/Riders/tristan-rennie" target="_blank">Tristan Rennie</a></strong></em>, one of the most consistent skaters all season, earned 3rd.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Barging the women’s podium fast and furious, Japanese skaters <em><strong><a href="https://www.boardriding.com/Riders/sakura-yosozumi" target="_blank">Sakura Yosozumi</a></strong></em>, <em><strong><a href="https://www.boardriding.com/Riders/kokona-hiraki" target="_blank">Kokona Hiraki</a></strong></em> and <em><strong><a href="https://www.boardriding.com/Riders/mami-tezuka" target="_blank">Mami Tezuka</a></strong></em> surely made their country proud at today’s competition. VPS Women’s World Champion Sakura Yosozumi has been an obvious title contender, having won multiple events, and consistently advancing into finals at every tour stop she attends. Yosozumi’s trick selection continues to progress, and her clean execution of every run earned her the championship title today.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not far behind in second place, 11-year-old Kokona Hiraki was constantly at Yosozumi’s coattails, showing hunger for the win, while style wunderkind Mami Tezuka was a crowd favorite, placing third.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 2019 VPS Pro Tour has been a wild ride, spanning 5 countries in 5 months, and ending an unbelievable season in Salt Lake City to showcase the world’s best in park terrain skateboarding.
