Comment

Ski cross is a type of skiing competition. Despite its being a timed racing event, it is often considered part of freestyle skiing, because it incorporates terrain features traditionally found in freestyle, as courses include big-air jumps and high-banked turns. What sets ski cross apart from other alpine skiing disciplines is that there is more than one skier racing down the course.

Interesting fact

The 10 Diners coin from Andorra featuring Ski Cross in the Olympic Games has a unique feature - it has a built-in thermometer that changes color depending on the temperature. This innovative feature was first introduced by the Andorran mint and has never been seen before in coin design.
