American Cameron Naasz won the first Red Bull Crashed Ice race held on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea on Saturday after a flawless high-speed run down an artificial ice track into Marseille's old port. It was the seventh career victory for Naasz, the reigning Ice Cross World Downhill Champion who is hoping to become the first athletes to win back-to-back titles.
In the increasingly competitive women's competition, last year's champion Jacqueline Legere of Canada also got her title defence off to a flying start with a comfortable victory down the track kept frozen thanks to three powerful container-sized chillers. American Amanda Trunzo took second place with Sydney O'Keefe, also of the United States, in third.
