Freestyle skier Tomáš Kraus is one of the Czech Republic’s best
athletes, specialising in the discipline of ski cross, which was featured
for the first time this year at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. In the
discipline, four skiers race each other to get to the bottom of courses
full of banks and jumps, with the first two advancing to the next round.
With the excitement of close jostling for position and sharp turns, it’s
no surprise that the sport is quickly becoming one of skiing’s most
thrilling.
