Zmarzlik finished second in the Grand Prix final in Vojens, Denmark, a result that secured him world crown with one round to spare.

Heading into the event, Zmarzlik needed to outperform Sweden’s Fredrik Lindgren by at least four points to secure the championship.

Lindgren’s early struggles, including a crash in his opening heat, dashed his hopes of challenging for the title. Meanwhile, Britain’s Robert Lambert, who also had a chance, won the final, but Zmarzlik’s second-place finish sealed his championship victory.
