Snowsports GB Win 4 Crystal Globes In 24 Hours

Zoe Atkin has added another major milestone to an already remarkable season, becoming the third British skier in just 24 hours to secure a Crystal Globe. Her latest accolade follows last month's bronze medal at the Cortina–Milan Olympics, part of Great Britain's strongest Winter Games performance in history.

Atkin sealed the Freeski Halfpipe title and her second successive Crystal Globe after winning the final World Cup stop of the 2025–26 tour in Silvaplana, Switzerland. Lining up for her first World Cup outing since winning the country's first ever Halfpipe medal at the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games, Atkin dominated from the outset, qualifying in first position and then setting the competition winning score in her first run of Finals to ease her way onto the top of a World Cup podium for the fourth time in her career, and the first time outside of the USA.

Her success comes on the heels of two other standout British performances: Charlotte Bankes claimed the Snowboard Cross Crystal Globe in Mont-Sainte-Anne the previous day, while Kirsty Muir took both the Freeski Slopestyle title in Silvaplana and the overall Park & Pipe 'big globe', awarded to the top athlete across all three disciplines.

Those results mark the first time British athletes have ever secured four Crystal Globes in Olympic disciplines in a single season and, added to the three medals won across the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, confirm the 2025/26 season as a record-breaking endeavour for GB Snowsport athletes, featuring 50 major podiums for British skiers and snowboarders.
