Cross-country cycling is one of the types of mountain biking. The key features of this sport are tracks of increased level of difficulty with natural and artificially created obstacles. New tracks are built every year for different competitions in Russia, and the level of their complexity meets the highest world standards. Each athlete needs cross-country cycling insurance in order to be allowed to participate in competitions.
Significance of cross-country insurance
Cross-country cycling is a complex technical sport. Concerning the severity and frequency of injuries it can be compared to Alpine skiing. Injuries are not rare in this sport, and the most common injuries are musculoskeletal system injuries, which require long-term treatment and unavoidable rehabilitation procedures. As a percentage, the frequency of serious injuries is read as follows:
- Joint injuries – 56%.
- Leg injuries – 31%.
- Spine injuries – 13%.
Taking into account this statistics, we can conclude that sports insurance for cross-country cycling is necessary not only for professional athletes, but also for extreme sport fans. The best option is to purchase insurance not only for competitions and single races, but also for daily training sessions. A sports insurance policy can become a significant help in case of getting injured as it defrays most of the costs of treatment and rehabilitation of an athlete.
