British Ski and Snowboard Team selected for Beijing 2022

The British Olympic Association (BOA) has confirmed the 18 skiers and 3 snowboarders who will represent Team GB at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. 

GB Snowsport athletes will compete in nine disciplines, with skier, Dave Ryding, and Nordic skiers Andrew Musgrave and Andrew Young each set to appear in their fourth Olympics.

Reigning Snowboard Cross World Champion, Charlotte Bankes, and Sochi 2014 silver medallist, Gus Kenworthy, will each be competing in their third Olympic Winter Games, but their first for Team GB, having moved from France and the USA respectively. 

Historic win for Dave Ryding

The 11 male and 10 female athletes selected will be looking to build on Britainโ€™s recent successes, following Dave Rydingโ€™s historic World Cup win in Kitzbuhel last weekend

Ryding said: โ€œItโ€™s such a huge honour to be named as part of Team GB again, and I canโ€™t wait to get out there and get racing.โ€

Vicky Gosling, GB Snowsport Chief Executive commented โ€œWhatever the outcome in the coming weeks, this is an incredibly exciting squad, and every athlete selected deserves huge congratulations for their efforts to reach this pointโ€.

โ€œIโ€™m so proud of every single athlete whoโ€™s been selected for the Olympic Winter Games squad. Behind every name on this list is a huge amount of hard work, determination, and commitment, and every single squad member really deserves their place” added Pat Sharples, GB Snowsport Head Coach
