The Sochi 2014 Olympics were the most successful Winter Games to date for British skiers and snowboarders with six top ten finishes including the bronze medal for Jenny Jones in Ladies Snowboard Slopestyle.
Five of those six high rankings were thanks to the introduction of Ski and Snowboard Slopestyle with James Woods placing fifth of 32 competitors in Ski Slopestyle, Jamie Nicholls sixth of 29 competitors in Snowboard Slopestyle, Katie Summerhayes 7th of 22 competitors in Ski Slopestyle, Zoe Gillings pipped by a whisker for the final of the Snowboard Cross and ultimately finishing 9th of 24 competitors and Billy Morgan 10th of 29 competitors – Snowboard Slopestyle.
"The results of our skiers and snowboarders in Sochi are a massive achievement and a huge milestone for competitive snowsports in Great Britain. Our 14 top 30 finishes, shows the strength we now have across all disciplines, and to come away with a bronze medal from one of our most experienced snowboarders, Jenny Jones, was the icing on the cake," said British Ski and Snowboard Chief Executive David Edwards.
"We will now be reviewing the successes of the last four years and consulting with all the snowsport disciplines to build plans and programmes with the goal of achieving regular and consistent World Cup results and producing athletes who will be challenging for medals in even more events in PyeonChang, South Korea, in 2018"
