Snowboard crossers were originally supposed to race on Friday and qualify a day earlier, but due to the unfavorable weather forecast, the organizers moved the entire race to today. Adamczyková entered the second round of 16 race and reached the finish line in first place without any problems. At the World Championships, she is aiming for a third medal after the bronze and gold from 2019.
For example, the British Charlotte Bankes dropped out of the favorites, and among the men, defending champion Lucas Eguibar of Spain lost his chance for a medal.
