Results Round-Up: Record breaking season draws to a close
Final SBX World Cup of season brings heartbreak and breakthrough as curtain goes down on spectacular year
Bankes faces injury setback, Nightingale delivers career best
The final World Cup of the year for GB Snowsport athletes looked set for an epic battle for the 2025 Snowboard Cross Crystal Globe, before an untimely training crash saw Charlotte Bankes sustain a broken collarbone and robbed her of the chance to hold on to top spot in the World Cup rankings. The 29-year-old Brit’s season nevertheless ends with a spectacular individual World Cup record: entered eight, five victories, one third place, with a Team World Cup second place and a World Championships silver medal to round out one of the all time great seasons from a British snowboarder.
Huw Nightingale meanwhile saved the best for (almost) last, an eleventh place finish in the first of the weekend’s races granting him a career-best World Cup finish, hot on the heels of a World Championships top-10 proving that this has been a true breakthrough season for the 23 year old.
British athletes look back on (another) record breaking season
Following two seasons of record breaking results, Britain’s skiers and snowboarders can look back on another season that has helped rewrite the history books and shown that the country has earned a place at the top level of international snowsport.
Across a season which began with the opening World Cup contests in New Zealand in September, British athletes have delivered 28 Olympic discipline major podiums, four Paralympic discipline major podiums, and fourteen Telemark major podiums alongside six Crystal Globes (three for Jaz Taylor in Telemark, two for Mia Brookes in Park & Pipe Snowboard, and one for Zoe Atkin in Freeski Halfpipe), a World Championships title for Atkin, and a series of astonishing performances in almost every discipline that saw British athletes compete across the season.
