From beanbags and TV to stretching areas and specialised exercise physiology equipment, athletes will be kicking back and recharging their batteries at the JCU Athlete Recovery Lounge.
James Cook University Deputy Head of Sport and Exercise Science Glen Deakin said he was thrilled the championships are at the university’s Smithfield Campus.
“It’s not every day you have a world championship at your doorstep,” he said.
“We have two JCU students riding for Australia at this fantastic event.”
Mr Deakin said Cairns was the ideal location to host the championships and encouraged sports fans of all ages to see the elite athletes in action.
“It’s outdoors, in our great environment, and it’s fun for all ages,” he said.
“Cairns is one of the best locations for this sport because we have mount biking all year round. You go down South and try this at Mt Buller right now and you’d be under a metre and a half of snow.”
