Is there a difference in meaning in "risk of failing" vs. "risk to fail"?
Do these sentences mean the same and do they sound equally natural?
1) There is a risk of failing the test.
2) There is a risk to fail the test.

Only #1 is correct. The syntax is a risk of something (ie a noun or in this case a gerund).
