Snowboarding
The GB team had four competitors in the snowboarding events at the Olympics in 2006, with veteran competitor Lesley McKenna falling in both runs of the half pipe alongside first-time Olympians Kate Foster and Daniel Wakeham. First-time Olympian Zoe Gillings was the sole British competitor in the snowboardcross event which had its first Olympic appearance in 2006.
Wakeham finished 26th in men's halfpipe qualifying, missing the final. Gillings qualified 12th for the Snowboard Cross quarter-finals with a time of 1:31. She failed to progress further, being taken out of the heat following a collision with another rider and finished 15th.
