Ice Cross is an adrenaline-fueled winter sport that captivates audiences with its high-speed races down steep, icy tracks. Athletes compete on challenging courses filled with jumps, sharp turns, and various obstacles. Clad in ice skates and protective gear, competitors navigate these thrilling courses, showcasing their speed and skill in a bid to become the fastest on the ice.
Multiple athletes race head-to-head down a track, with the top finishers advancing to the next rounds.
The courses are made entirely of ice and can span hundreds of meters, featuring various technical elements like sharp curves and jumps.
