Trial bike world champion Tom Oehler began his tour of the Maldives today (December 20), displaying his skills to the people of Malé.
The 31-year-old Austrian – who has broken world records for the high jump on a bike (3 meters) and another for the 400m hurdles on a bike – can now add jumping over seven Maldivians to his list of achievements.
After becoming Austria’s trial bike champion at age 17, Tom went on to win the Indoor European Championship in 2006 before becoming a world champion two years later.
