Koretzky's remarkable achievement of winning both the XCO and short-track races in Lake Placid showcases his perseverance and ability to maintain high performance under pressure.
"Doing a double win on one weekend is always difficult because you need to stay motivated and to keep going," said Koretzky. "Today the weather was a bit high, and it was almost impossible to know who was the strongest. I rode super patient all race because it was super-fast."
Hatherly's fight back to second place, despite dropping around 30 positions mid-race due to the flat, helped strengthen his position at the head of the overall series ahead of the final round in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada.
The South African leads the standings with 1378 points, 259 points ahead of Koretzky and 293 points ahead of Colombo. With 330 points up for grabs in the final round.
