At 46, windsurfing legend Björn Dunkerbeck is crowned Speed Windsurfing World Champion after winning the Dunkerbeck GPS Speed Challenge, an ISWC event, in Fuerteventura on Sunday.

It’s his first world title since 2011 – but his 42nd in total, a number that makes him the athlete with the most world titles, all sports included.
