TWO-year-old Cooper Mathers competed in the Balance Bike World Championship at the Malvern Classic Bike festival.

The festival, which took place at Eastnor Deer Park in the Midlands on August 29, showcases three main disciplines over three days - quad eliminator, dual slalom and downhill races.

Cooper came fourth in the dual slalom and claimed first place for the downhill race on the Sunday.

This makes him the official world champion downhill balance biker for his age group.

His two older siblings and Dad also raced at the Malvern Classic Bike Festival, which claims to be the UK’s biggest mountain bike festival for both spectators and riders.
