This episode of the Road to Paris follows the Hamburg Elite16, an event in which every single men’s medalist – Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig, Italy’s Paolo Nicolai and Sam Cottafava, Norway’s Anders Mol and Christian Sorum – has added the jump-set to their offense, not to mention fifth-place finishers and master jump-setters Miles Partain and Andy Benesh. The women’s side is a touch different, as world No. 1 Ana Patricia Silva and Duda Lisboa need no trickery, nor do silver medalists Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth and German bronze medalists Cinja Tillman and Svenja Muller.
Travis Mewhirter covers all of those medalists and jump-setters, as well as:
And much, much more, including a Waiakea explosion and a funny interruption from Siri or Alexa.
ENJOY!
