Overview
Snowboard cross is a snowboard competition in which four to six competitors race down a course. Snowboard crosses were formerly known as Boardercross.
Snowboard cross courses are typically quite narrow and include cambered turns, various types of jumps, berms, rollers, drops, steep and flat sections designed to challenge the riders’ ability to stay in control while maintaining maximum speed. It is not uncommon for racers to collide with each other mid-race.
Competition format is typically a time trial followed by a knock-out tournament.
First of all, all 32 participating competitors will race in a time trial.
From there, the top 16 competitors will advance to a knockdown tournament heading to the finals.
Knockdown races are very interesting to watch. Like a horse race, we don’t know who will win until the end. We have seen many dramatic finales.
Please take a look at 2006 TORINO in History of the Snowboard Olympics ① 1998/2002/2006 as well.
There will also be a MIXED TEAM SNOWBOARDCROSS from the Beijing Olympics using the snowboard cross course.
