boardercross
Simultaneous downhill competition
Boardercross is a snowboarding race where multiple riders compete simultaneously down a course featuring jumps, banked turns, and other obstacles.
Also called snowboard cross.
The format emphasizes speed and tactical positioning rather than tricks or style, with riders jostling for advantage through tight sections: She took gold in the boardercross final.
The sport became an Olympic event in 2006.
