8-Year-Old Prodigy Wins World Freestyle Scooter Championship in Under-14 Category

Madhi Bnamrhar managed to impose himself at the Youth Elite Scooter Championship, organized at the beginning of October in the "valley of adrenaline" in Corby, England. The 8-year-old boy, full of talent and energy, outclassed his no less talented and impressive opponents and impressed the jury of connoisseurs who crowned him "world champion of freestyle under 14 years old".

Madhi’s performance does not seem to surprise his mother Laura. "He has always been a hyperactive child, he can’t stay indoors too long," she confides to L’Union. Trained by his father Nordine, the young Reims resident revealed his talent and personality during this competition and is now the pride of his family. "Madhi is hyperactive and the scooter channels his excess energy. From a very young age, he already needed space to move, get some air, expend himself," explains his father.

Like his two older brothers Matyss and Marwel, Madhi "had it in him". He started taking freestyle scooter lessons at the age of 5 and a half and already at 6 years old, he participated in his first competition. It was at the FISE in Reims. Determined, he chains the training sessions and the competitions, showing "perseverance, agility, and a solid physical condition". In his short but rich career, he has already suffered two clavicle fractures and another one in the elbow.

"Madhi still suffers from a lack of local notoriety," says his father Nordine. The young Reims resident, who has just joined the Moroccan national team, will participate on December 7 and 8 in the Azur Ride Contest in Cannes, the first of the three rounds of the 2024-2025 French championship.
