Mission Viejo, CA, September 09, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Austen Seaholm continues his success on the street courses, this time taking a Gold Medal at the 2010 World Leisure Games in ChunCheon, South Korea on Saturday Sep. 4.
This was the first ever World Leisure Games, an offshoot of the World Leisure Congress, which has been held the past 11 years. Seaholm won the inaugural International B3 Action Sports Championship, one of nine of the international championships held at the games.
"I'm so happy. I needed this," said Seaholm.
This is the first Gold for Seaholm, since dominating during the China X-Games in 2009. Seaholm was on track to take Gold at the China X-Games again this year, but came away with a Bronze finish.
Seaholm faced some tough competition on the massive street course from many local and international skaters. However, in the end, it was the Orange County native that prevailed. Seaholm will try to carry his momentum back stateside as he prepares for the final two stops on the Dew Tour.
Austen Seaholm is a member of the EFX Performance, inc. team of sponsored athletes. He, like many others, utilizes a variety of EFX products featuring the holographic dot. EFX can be seen on the skateboards, wristbands, and necklaces of many athletes to get an edge on the competition.
