At the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, Canadian athletes achieved a record 14 golds in iconic and new generation sports, from bobsled and skeleton, to snowboardcross and of course, hockey. Tonight, the ultimate culmination of those disciplines and skill sets materialized in the genre-and blade-bending 2010 Red Bull Crashed Ice in Québec City. Rising above the field of 120 skaters from 15 nations and 32 heats were brothers Kyle and Scott Croxall of Toronto, Ontario, who turned Red Bull Crashed Ice 2010 into a family affair, taking home first and third place. In the women’s field, the first-ever 2009 female champion, Kerri Muir of Calgary, Alberta, earned bragging rights for the second year in a row with another first place victory.
Martin Niefnecker of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany who earned the title of Red Bull Crashed Ice World Champion after accumulating a total of 1,800 points from his tour stops in Munich (January 16), a first place victory, and his second place finish in Quebec.
Over 120,000 fans witnessed 64 male and 16 female daredevils hurtle to the bottom of a colossal urban ice track that wound, curved and ripped through the streets of Old Quebec.
