"It's my first time as the World Champion! I'm so happy about that and so happy about my riding tonight. Not an easy year for me, but I'm here with the jersey and so happy to be the World Champion this year!" said Monster Energy's Jeanjean upon claiming the UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Championship.

"I crashed in my first run and tried my best in the second. It wasn't easy coming back, but I'm so happy it worked to take the World Championship," said Jeanjean.

Previously, Jeanjean earned bronze at the 2024 Paris Olympics and finished the year by claiming the overall highest ranking in the 2024 UCI BMX Park World Cup standings. This UCI World Championship title marks one of the biggest accomplishments of Jeanjean's career.
