It was Andi Seewald's greatest triumph to date: in the spectacular showdown of the world's marathon elite in the 2021 UCI MTB Marathon World Championship race in Capoliveri, just 75 of the 114 men who started reached the finish line after 115 tough kilometres and 4800 metres of climbing. And Andreas Seewald was the fastest to do so.
With the World Championship title, he crowned his strong season after winning gold at the European Championships and became the first German ever to win the title in the marathon discipline, which has been contested since 2003. In September 2023, Andi Seewald (32) once again secured the title of German MTB marathon champion.
