Charlotte Bankes believes she is peaking at the perfect time as she looks to take her blistering Word Cup form on to the Winter Olympic stage. The Hemel Hempstead snowboard cross sensation is the current World Cup leader and reigning world champion, ensuring she heads to Beijing with that rarest of tags for a Brit arriving at a Winter Games — favourite for gold.
Speed skater Ellia Smeding has been confirmed as the final British athlete to be selected for the Winter Olympics, with Team GB announced a squad of 50 for the Beijing Games.

After some setbacks in qualifying and a bout with Covid-19, snowboarding legend Shaun White can relax. White has been officially selected to the US team for the Beijing Olympics, giving him a shot at a fourth gold medal in his fifth Winter Games — and giving Beijing a major star attraction in the form of the 35-year-old winter sports icon. Ad/> White missed the finals of the last American qualifying event for Beijing in Mammoth Mountain after injuring his ankle in a hard landing in his qualifying heat.
Team GB will head to the Beijing Winter Olympics looking to secure more than one gold medal at a single Games for the first time in their history — and they are well set to do that.

World champion Charlotte Bankes leads a contingent of 21 ski and snowboard athletes who have been picked to represent Team GB at the Winter Olympics in Beijing. The 26-year-old will be competing at her third Games but her first for GB, having represented France in the previous two.
