On thin ice? 在薄冰上?

The temperature was twenty degrees below freezing, but that didn't stop these sports enthusiasts.

Racing teams in Poland took advantage of the wintry weather to sail their iceboats on a frozen reservoir.

The one-man vessel is light and agile, and can reach speeds of over 100km per hour.

Many competitors train in sailing boats in summer months and switch to iceboat racing during the winter.
