Where: Ski Racing Festival “Bieg Piastow” Competition, Poland
Winter sports are big business in Europe, and Poland is no exception. This drone photograph captures the action at the Bieg Piastów ski racing festival in the region, where athletes from all over the Nordic region come together to battle it out for a position on the winning podium. While it might be a more adrenaline pumping experience watching the race on ground level, from up above it does help to discern who is closer to taking the trophy, and who is being left behind.
