Please tell me that there’s someone else who wants to see this in the Winter Olympics one day (maybe 2030)

Absolutely.  The main problem is that it's such a Red Bull focused event.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Actually there’s an international federation (ATX) that runs the sport and the Red Bull competitions are actually the federations highest scoring races. The run other races too, and have had entries from every continent!

Forgive him, the man has just been spooned

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?
