Home favourite Matt Struble won the competition in the US Midwest, defending his title and reaffirming his dominance over a group of Polish iceboat racers, news outlets reported.

Poland's Karol Jabłoński, a 12-time iceboating world champion, had to settle for 10th place this time, Polish state news agency PAP reported.

Since 1973, Poland has won 62 medals at iceboating world championships, 25 gold, 22 silver and 15 bronze, according to officials.
