Robin Goomes Just Made Rampage History No One Has Touched


Robin Goomes won the 2026 Red Bull Rampage on Thursday, October 8, in Virgin, Utah, with a 93.50 that edged Hannah Bergemann’s 92.75 by three-quarters of a point. We flagged her going for a third straight title in our preview of this year’s 25th-anniversary field. She went and did it, and in doing it, she became the first rider in Rampage history — men’s or women’s division, no exceptions — to win three consecutive titles. Twenty-five years of this event, every big name who’s ever dropped into Virgin, and nobody had strung together three in a row until Thursday afternoon.

That’s not a small claim. It’s a specific, checkable one, and it checks out.

The Math on This One Is Simple. The Riding Wasn’t.

Run one went to Bergemann. She posted a 91.25, Goomes answered with a 90.62, and for about twenty minutes the three-peat story looked like it might not happen — not because Goomes rode badly, but because Bergemann rode clean and fast on a day when clean and fast was already a tall order on the original 2001 venue we covered in the lineup post.

Then Goomes dropped in for run two and did the thing title defenses are supposed to look like: she raised the difficulty instead of protecting the lead she didn’t have. The run that actually won it included a massive flat spin big enough that judges handed her the best trick award on top of the overall win. Per Pinkbike’s results coverage, the second-run score jumped her to 93.50 — enough to beat Bergemann’s own clean, fast second run of 92.75. Two-thirds of a point of separation, after two runs each, on a course nobody in the field had competitive data on going in. That’s about as close as this event gets at the top of the leaderboard.

Van Horne took third with 86.50, and it wasn’t a quiet podium run to get there — per Canadian Cycling Magazine’s report on the final, she dropped early in the order and still produced one of the day’s most trick-dense lines, mixing a toboggan, a tuck no-hander, a suicide no-hander off a huge drop, and an Indian air. Riding first and still holding a podium spot after eleven more runners is its own kind of pressure, and she handled it.

Why Three in a Row Actually Matters Here

Here’s the 40-second version, if you just want the number that makes this historic: Rampage has run a women’s competition since 2024. Goomes won it in 2024. She won it again in 2025. She won it a third time on Thursday. No rider in either the men’s or women’s field — across 25 years and every big name who’s ever built a line into this mountain — had won three consecutive Rampage titles before this week. Chasing a repeat is hard enough on a course that changes dramatically every year, built fresh by each rider’s own dig crew. Chasing a third, on the sport’s original 2001 venue with zero of the field holding prior data on how it would ride, is a different problem entirely.

That’s the context we laid out heading into the weekend: nobody, Goomes included, had ridden this exact return-to-the-roots layout competitively before Thursday. A new course usually favors chaos over continuity. It didn’t this time.

How Many Rampage Titles Has Robin Goomes Won?

Robin Goomes has won every women’s Red Bull Rampage held to date — three editions, three titles, 2024 through 2026. The women’s competition is still young relative to the men’s 25-year history, which makes the achievement notable in two directions at once: she’s undefeated since the division’s inception, and she’s also the first rider of any gender to turn a Rampage win streak into three. The men’s side has produced repeat champions before. It has never produced a three-time-running one.

The Rider Who Didn’t Get a Shot

Not every storyline from this week ends with a trophy. Pinkbike reported that Cami Nogueira — a pre-qualified rider in this year’s field, per our preview — crashed hard off a feature called The Minister during Monday practice, overshooting the landing on a line she’d been building with Bergemann. She broke bones in the fall and was ruled out before finals even started.

It’s not the first time. Nogueira broke her nose before finals in 2024 and dislocated her elbow in 2025 but still rode to fourth place that year, picking up the event’s Toughness Award for it. Missing finals entirely this time is a worse outcome than either of those, and it’s worth saying plainly: the depth and difficulty of this field is part of why a result like Goomes’ three-peat means something. People get hurt building and riding these lines. That’s the sport, not an aside to it.

How This Compares to the Rest of 2026’s Gravity Season

This is the third “we previewed it, here’s what actually happened” result we’ve covered this season. Asa Vermette’s DH World Cup overall title came down to point math closing while he was still in the start gate. Vali Höll tied Rachel Atherton’s DH Worlds record by about 1.7 seconds on a bike built almost entirely from parts we’d already reviewed. Goomes’ result is the cleanest of the three in one sense — it’s not a season-long points race decided by someone else’s run, it’s one rider outscoring the field on one afternoon, twice, under pressure, on unfamiliar ground. There’s no asterisk to explain here. She rode the harder run and the judges agreed.

What Makes Three Rampage Titles Different From Three of Anything Else

A Rampage title isn’t like winning three stages of the same race on the same track. Every edition, riders build and dig entirely new lines into whatever mountain the event lands on that year — there’s no fixed course to master the way there is at a World Cup downhill venue. Winning three consecutive years means reading and building three different mountains, with three different crews, under three different sets of conditions, and still landing the highest-scoring run each time. That’s a different skill than repeating a known track faster. It’s closer to winning three different sports in a row and happening to be best at all of them.

Who Should Care About This

Anyone who read our Rampage preview and wanted the payoff. This is the result — Goomes’ third straight title, the 0.75-point margin over Bergemann, and the history that comes with it.

Freeride and slopestyle fans tracking the sport’s record book. A three-peat at an event where the course itself changes every year is a different kind of record than most judged sports produce. There’s no comparable streak to point to.

Anyone who followed the Cami Nogueira storyline. Her practice crash is part of this week’s story whether or not it changed the outcome — Rampage’s risk is real, and it’s not limited to competition runs.

Who Should Skip This

Readers wanting a line-by-line course breakdown. This is a results and history piece, not a trick-by-trick trail analysis of the 2026 women’s lines.

Anyone expecting the men’s result here too. Hayden Zablotny’s title defense runs Saturday, October 10 — a separate competition, a separate story.

The Bottom Line

Robin Goomes beat Hannah Bergemann by 0.75 points — 93.50 to 92.75 — to win her third consecutive Red Bull Rampage, becoming the first rider in the event’s 25-year history, in either division, to pull off a three-peat. She did it by trailing after run one and then raising the difficulty rather than playing it safe, landing a flat spin big enough to also take best trick. Kirsten Van Horne’s 86.50 rounded out a podium built on a course nobody in the field had ridden competitively before Thursday. Cami Nogueira’s hard crash off The Minister in Monday practice is the sobering footnote to a week that otherwise belonged entirely to Goomes. The men’s final runs Saturday. This one’s already in the record book.
