Snowboard cross

In Snowboard Cross, participants compete to reach the finishing line first. To do that, they go down a downhill route with numerous slopes and curves. They reach high speeds, so the starts, touches and falls are continuous. This increases the difficulty, as you do not only need to be fast, but also to have skill and control on the board. Snowboarding has been an Olympic sport since 1998, and this particular discipline since 2006.
