Falls, mud, and excitement until the end: video summary with the best of the Short Track in Leogang

The 2026 XCO World Cup kicked off its weekend in Leogang with two Short Track races marked by rain, mud, and a completely renovated circuit that tested the best riders on the planet. Sina Frei took victory in the women's race after a decisive attack on the last lap, while Simon Andreassen capitalized on a race full of incidents to win in the men's category.

The mud turns Leogang into a spectacle and leaves two memorable Short Tracks

The difficult conditions of the Austrian Alps completely transformed the usual development of the Short Track races. Falls, mechanical failures, lead changes, and constant attacks provided great entertainment in both the women's and men's events.
