Evie Richards skyrocketed to the top of the XC world in 2021, winning a World Championship and two World Cup races in the final month of the season.
After an injury-riddled 2022, she returned to form with eight top-five World Cup finishes and a bronze medal in short track at the 2023 World Championships. In 2024, she claimed the rainbow stripes once again—this time in short track—as part of a season that included 10 World Cup top-10 finishes, including a short track win in Mairiporã and a fifth-place finish at the Paris Olympics. Evie is only scratching the surface of her potential, and it’ll be fascinating to see where her journey takes her next. One thing’s for certain: no one else will be enjoying themselves more out on the course.
