In this print captured by Arnd Wiegmann, a fearless squirrel fearlessly crosses the natural ice track during the thrilling second run of the two-women competition at the FIBT Bobsleigh and Skeleton World Championships 2013 in St. Moritz, Switzerland. The image perfectly encapsulates the harmonious coexistence of nature's inhabitants with human sporting events. As bobsledders speed down the icy track, pushing their limits to achieve victory, this audacious little creature confidently ventures across their path. Its nimble movements and agile demeanor serve as a reminder that even amidst intense competition, life continues to thrive in its own rhythm. The picturesque Swiss mountain resort of St. Moritz provides an awe-inspiring backdrop for this extraordinary moment frozen in time. The snow-covered peaks and glistening ice create a surreal atmosphere that adds to the enchantment of witnessing such an unexpected encounter between man-made sportsmanship and untamed wildlife. This remarkable photograph not only showcases the beauty of winter sports but also highlights our interconnectedness with nature. It serves as a gentle reminder that even within highly organized events like these championships, we share our world with countless other creatures who navigate their way through it effortlessly. Arnd Wiegmann's skillful composition captures both action and serenity simultaneously – bobsleds hurtling down at high speeds while a small squirrel gracefully traverses its own path on fragile ice. This image is truly emblematic of how sport can seamlessly blend with nature's wonders
