Competitors skate in the final stage of the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championship, held in Quebec City's old town at the weekend.

The last stage of the contest was won by Kyle Croxall, a 23-year-old Canadian. He finished second to Finland's Aartu Pihlainen in the final race but had earned enough points to finish atop the overall standings, making him the first Canadian to win the title in the event's three-year history.
