He is maybe missing a little bit of competition from the Russian guys.

“He is such a competitive guy and can relax at high pressure times. I think he showed his true colours in Vojens when it could have been a bad meeting but he changed it to be a super success.” Asked if Zmarzlik could become one of the all-time greats, Rickardsson added: “I hope he chases me down! “One of my dreams is to hand over my legacy from my days and if he can beat my record, he is more than welcome, that would be awesome. “He has everything that is needed.

He has a good surrounding around him and he is really chilled about being at the top. “I always say, ‘the view is good, but everybody is there to drag you down’. I think he is already one of the greats.” As It Happened: Zmarzlik becomes a three-time world champion in style ‘It’s unbelievable!’ – Zmarzlik relieved to win title before final round Zmarzlik beat Fredrik Lindgren in the final in Sweden on Saturday as he dominated the race from start to finish.
