After days of rain soaked training sessions and racing action the previous days, the skies over Whistler finally cleared just in time for elite finals on the OG CDN OPN DH. Troy Brosnan and Mille Johnset both topped the podium at the OG CDN OPN DH on day four of Crankworx Whistler 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crankworx Whistler 2026 – OG CDN OPN DH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This rider-favourite race takes riders down Whistler’s rooty single-track and punishes any hesitation, and today it punished plenty. Two days of heavy rain left the trail running fast but treacherous, with slick roots putting the athletes’ technical skills and speed to the test, even after the sun broke through for finals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnset’s Photo Finish<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mille Johnset backed up her 2025 OG CDN OPN DH title, but this time there was no room to breathe. The Norwegian held off Australia’s Elleni Turkovic by just 0.100 seconds – the tightest margin atop this race in recent memory, and a sharp swing from the 3.5-second cushion she carried to victory here last year, making for an impressive chase by Turkovic in her first year racing in the Elite category. Fellow Australian Sian A’Hern claimed third, rounding out a green-and-gold-heavy top three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brosnan’s Perfect Seven\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Troy Brosnan continues to own this race from start to finish, laying down the fastest time to seal his seventh OG CDN OPN DH title, staying undefeated in the event. Pemberton’s Tegan Cruz put together the ride of the day among the locals, chasing Brosnan to the line but coming up 1.351 seconds short in second. Jackson Frew completed the podium in third for Australia, capping a wild shakeup up top: Benjamin De Vall had held the provisional hot seat for the bulk of the afternoon before Frew bumped him down the order late, only for Brosnan and Cruz to leapfrog them both moments later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Deep Summer Lights Up Whistler Olympic Plaza Crowning Josh Woodward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Six creatives spent the opening days of Crankworx Whistler chasing the light, hitting the trails with cameras in hand to capture the raw energy of riding in BC’s mountain bike hotspot. The challenging conditions of the past few days demanded for the photographers to find creative ways to tell their story of mountain biking community and action. Tonight at Whistler Olympic Plaza, those three days of work hit the big screen as six photo slideshows, each set to music, competed for the Deep Summer title.\u00a0Josh Woodward<\/strong>\u00a0took home the coveted title in front of a cheering crowd at Whistler Olympic Plaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
