A storming opening run saw Anthony Jeanjean take first place in the BMX freestyle park men's final at the Olympic Qualifier Series Shanghai on Saturday (18 May).
Big things were expected of the in-form Frenchman, who sealed a World Cup win in Montpellier last week.
Unperturbed by the rising temperatures in the midday sun at another sold-out Huangpu Riverside OQS Urban Park arena, he executed flips, handle bar spins, and tail spins with blistering speed for a first run score of 93.54.
Olympic champion Logan Martin of Australia struggled to find rhythm in the first run, but showing his champion credentials, roared back to life with a score of 92.65 to finish second.
Great Britain's reigning world champion Kieran Reilly, a noticeably more muscle-bound athlete than his rivals, used that power to gain huge air and deep gasps from the crowd on his jumps, for third.
