Snowboarding is a sport that has been contested at the Winter Olympic Games since 1998.[1] Snowboarding was one of five new sports or disciplines added to the Winter Olympic programme between 1992 and 2002, and was the only one not to have been a previous medal or demonstration event.[2] Four events, two for men and two for women, were held in two disciplines in 1998: the giant slalom, a downhill event similar to giant slalom skiing, and the half-pipe, in which competitors perform tricks while going from one side of a semi-circular ditch to the other.[2] Canadian Ross Rebagliati won the men's giant slalom and became the first athlete to win a gold medal in snowboarding.[3] Rebagliati was briefly stripped of his medal by the IOC after he tested positive for marijuana. However, the IOC's decision was overturned after the Canadian Olympic Association filed an appeal.[4] For the 2002 Winter Olympics, the giant slalom was dropped in favour of the parallel giant slalom, an event that involves head to head racing.[5] In 2006, a third event, the snowboard cross, was held for the first time. In snowboard cross, competitiors race down a course with jumps, beams and other obstacles, and unlike the parallel giant slalom, competitors use the same terrain.[6]

Four athletes have won two medals. Swiss athlete Philipp Schoch is the only snowboarder to have won two gold medals, having won the parallel giant slalom in 2002, then successfully defending his title in 2006.[7] Karine Ruby of France and Americans Ross Powers and Danny Kass have also won two medals.[8] In the men's half-pipe event, Americans have won six of nine medals, and in 2002, Americans won all three medals in the event. It is the only medal sweep by one nation to have occured in snowboarding.[9]

American snowboarders have won a combined 14 medals, including 5 gold medals, more than any other nation. Swiss snowboarders have also won five gold medals. As of the 2006 Winter Olympics, 42 medals (14 of each colour) have been awarded since 1998 and have been won by snowboarders from 11 National Olympic Committees.
