What is ATSX Ice Cross World Championship?

ATSX Ice Cross World Championship is an international ice cross racing series organized by ATSX, in which skaters race down steep, banked ice tracks at high speed. The site covers the championship season, event news, results and athlete rosters across men's, women's and junior categories.

Ice cross is a head-to-head, downhill format rather than a judged or endurance discipline. Racers descend a narrow track with jumps, drops and sharp turns, often in groups, so contact, positioning and recovery from mistakes matter as much as raw skating speed. That makes it a spectator-friendly sport with short, dramatic heats.

The page shows the structure of a season rather than a single event:

• World Cup season: The 2025/26 season is described as the debut ATSX Ice Cross World Cup, following on from the World Championships, with events in Austria and Canada.
• Individual events: Recent editions have included Val Thorens in France and the fast Winterleiten track in Austria.
• Categories: Men, women and juniors all compete, each with their own standings and results.
• Athletes: The site lists competitors such as Jonathan Merlino, Robin Worling, Veronika Windisch, Sarah Seibold and Camille Browning, alongside junior skaters.

Who it is for: Fans following results and standings, athletes and teams checking schedules and rankings, and newcomers trying to understand the sport before watching an event.

Practical next step: If you want to follow a season, start with the news and results sections to see how points are awarded, then look at the athlete lists to pick a few racers to track across events. A useful comparison is between the World Cup and the earlier World Championship format: the World Cup label signals a multi-event season, while the championship label points to a single title-deciding competition.

What is the ATSX 2025/26 World Cup season schedule?

The ATSX 2025/26 World Cup is described as the debut season of the ATSX Ice Cross World Cup, with two key events: one in Austria and one in Canada. The page names the venues as Winterleiten (Austria) and Sainte-Angèle-de-Mérici (Canada). No dates beyond the season label and the site's news timestamps are given, so the schedule is best treated as a two-stop season rather than a full calendar.

What the page confirms

• Season: ATSX 2025/26 World Cup, the first under that name.
• Stops: Winterleiten, Austria, and Sainte-Angèle-de-Mérici, Canada.
• Context: the season builds on the earlier World Championship format.

How to use this

If you are planning travel or following results, check the site's news section for event dates and start lists, since the season overview lists venues but not race weekends. For a first-time spectator, Sainte-Angèle-de-Mérici is the easier North American option; Winterleiten is the traditional European stop and is described as ATSX's fastest track, based on the site's own report of the 2024/25 finale there.

For broader context on the sport, the international federation site ATSX and general winter-sports coverage can help, but the season specifics above come from the ATSX Ice Cross page itself.

How are ATSX Ice Cross World Cup rankings and points calculated?

ATSX Ice Cross World Cup rankings are event-based: skaters earn points from their finishing positions at each World Cup stop, and those points accumulate into season standings by category. The site's published results show the pattern clearly — a win is worth 250 points, with the next places stepping down (for example, 225 and 200 in the same category). Rankings are separated into Men, Women and Juniors, so a skater's standing depends on how they place against others in their own category, not on the overall field.

What the published results show

Two details stand out. First, ties in points are possible — the Men's example lists two skaters on 250 and the Women's example lists two on 225 — so final standings can hinge on tie-breaks rather than raw totals. The page does not spell out how those ties are resolved, so treat the ordering shown as the official result rather than something you can reconstruct from points alone. Second, the season is short: the 2025/26 World Cup is described as debuting with two key events, in Austria and Canada, which means each race carries a large share of the total and a single bad result is hard to recover from.

How to use this

If you are following a specific skater, track results event by event in their category and compare totals rather than watching the headline winners. For a practical sense of how much a final matters, look at the gap between first and third — 50 points in the Men's example — and note that a runner-up finish in one race can outweigh a mid-pack result in two.

For the official results and athlete lists behind these numbers, start with ATSX Ice Cross World Championship.

Who are the current ATSX Ice Cross world champions?

The page lists the 2024/25 season's crowned world champions as Veronika Windisch (women) and Robin Worling (men), after the finale on the Winterleiten track. The same two names appear at the top of the current standings tables shown on the page, where Windisch leads the women's list and Worling the men's.

Junior category: Jack Beatson tops the juniors standings shown on the page, ahead of Kevin Dupuis and Stefan Vajsabel.

How to read this

• The page mixes season labels (2024/25 and 2025/26), so a name at the top of a table may reflect the newest World Cup season rather than the title just decided.
• Ice Cross standings are points-based across events, so leaders can change between rounds; check the results page rather than the homepage if you need the position after a specific race.

Next step: if you want the definitive title holder for a given season, look for the season finale result and the final standings for that year, since mid-season leaderboards and end-of-season champions are not always the same thing. The official series site is ATSX Ice Cross.

How can I watch ATSX Ice Cross World Championship races?

The ATSX site itself is primarily a results, news and athlete hub rather than a live streaming platform. It publishes race reports, standings and full results after events — for example, the 2025/26 World Cup season opener in Val Thorens and the Winterleiten finale are covered with podium lists and recap articles — but the page evidence does not show an embedded player or ticketing/streaming page. So expect to use it for schedules, start lists and outcomes, and watch the races elsewhere.

Practical ways to watch

• Live broadcast or stream: Ice cross events are typically carried by a broadcaster or sports streaming service in the host region, sometimes with a free live feed. Check the ATSX site's news posts and social channels close to race weekend for the official broadcast partner; ATSX Ice Cross World Championship links to its @atsxicecross accounts, which usually announce where to watch.
• Highlights and full replays: If you miss the live window, race edits and full replays tend to appear on YouTube and the series' social channels within days. Searching the event name plus "replay" or "highlights" is the fastest route.
• In person: Ice cross tracks are built in ski resorts and city centres, and spectators often attend free or with a resort pass. Val Thorens in France and Winterleiten in Austria are regular hosts, so a winter sports trip can double as race viewing.
• Results-first following: If you only care who won, the ATSX results pages are enough — men's, women's and junior podiums are listed with points.

Who this suits

One caveat: broadcast rights change season to season and by country, so a link that worked last winter may not carry the next event. Treat the ATSX news feed and its social accounts as the pointer, not the player.

Next step: open the ATSX news section, find the most recent event recap, and note the broadcaster or platform named there — then check that platform's schedule for the next World Cup round.

What are the differences between ATSX men's, women's, and junior ice cross competitions?

ATSX splits ice cross into men's, women's, and junior categories, and the main differences lie in who competes and how the season's results are framed rather than in the basic format of racing down an ice track.

Men's and women's competitions These are separate elite fields, each with its own standings and its own world champion. On the ATSX site, the men's and women's top-three lists are presented independently, so a strong women's result does not compete against the men's field for position. The scoring shown in the published standings is consistent across categories — the winner takes 250 points, with 225 for second and 200 for third in the junior list, and the same 250/225 pattern appears at the top of the men's and women's lists.

A practical consequence: if you follow a specific athlete, you track their category's table, not an overall one. Veronika Windisch, for example, appears as a women's winner, while Jonathan Merlino and Robin Worling lead the men's results in the same published round.

Junior competitions Juniors race in their own category with their own ranking, and the site lists junior athletes separately from the senior men's and women's rosters. Some names appear in more than one context — for instance, junior competitors such as Jack Beatson and Alisah Reiterer also appear in the wider athlete listings — which reflects how athletes can be visible across the junior and senior sides of the sport as they progress.

The junior field is typically where younger racers build experience before moving into the senior categories. If you are a parent or a new fan, the junior results are the clearest place to see emerging talent; if you are tracking the sport's elite, the men's and women's tables are the ones that decide the senior world titles.

Which one to follow

• Follow the men's or women's category if you want the senior championship picture and the headline world champions.
• Follow juniors if you are interested in development, younger athletes, or the pipeline into the senior ranks.
• For a quick sense of the season, the ATSX news items describe milestone moments across categories, such as the 2025/26 World Cup season and its Austrian and Canadian events.

A useful next step is to open the full results and athlete pages on ATSX Ice Cross World Championship and compare the category tables side by side; the point totals and names make the separation between the three fields immediately clear.
