Jayden Sharman, 22, has won the Scootering World Championships for the third year running after a near-perfect final run in Paraguay.

Jayden Sharman, 22, has won the Scootering World Championships for the third consecutive year after competing in Paraguay. He fell in his opening run but responded with what his team at Adrenaline Alley described as a "jaw-dropping performance", landing a near-perfect run that secured the title.

Sharman moved to Corby from Market Harborough, Leicestershire in 2020 to train daily at Adrenaline Alley, where he is now head scooter coach. He started riding scooters when he was six years old.

The champion nearly missed the championships after sustaining an ankle injury. He initially booked a flight, then cancelled it, before changing his mind and rebooking just two days before the event. He said: "I have to compete, it's who I am." After his victory, Sharman said the win was "an absolute battle" and that pushing through and coming out on top was "a feeling I will never be able to put into words".
