Women’s Olympic Snowboarding Slopestyle 2022 Preview
Just the snowboarding course itself has people excited according to USA Today’s Lori Nickel.
“The course here is very challenging. It’s immaculate. It’s one of the best courses that’s ever been built — ever,” Olympic snowboard announcer Nelson Wormstead told Nickel. “And they’re really excited about it. We talked to some athletes yesterday so they were hyped.”

Top women’s snowboarders who will grace the course include Team USA’s Jamie Anderson, New Zealand’s Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, Australia’s Tess Coady, and Austria’s Anna Gasser. Anderson told the media on Wednesday, February 2, that the course presented challenges during her practice run according to Olympics.com’s Andrew Binner.
“There’s a lot of options, and with the snow conditions it made me feel a bit more scared,” Anderson said. “Definitely what’s cool about the Olympics compared to any other event is it’s always on a new mountain and a new set-up and everyone’s coming in completely blind. The course is very firm, I think the majority of it is artificial snow so it’s not quite ideal but I would say we’re all making the most of it.”
Anderson seeks a three-peat in slopestyle after capturing gold in 2014 and 2018. She has 25 medals in all snowboarding world competitions such as the Winter X Games and World Cup.
Sadowski-Synnott could challenge Anderson for gold after winning tow gold medals in the Winter X Games. Notably, a gold medal win for Sadowski-Synnott would mark the first-ever Winter Games gold medal for New Zealand.
“I have a good idea of what I want to do at the Winter Olympics and I’ve been working towards it for the last while,” Sadowski-Synnott said according to the Otago Daily Times.
Anderson looks forward to the competition Sadowski-Synnott brings to the table.
“We’ve been a little bit back and forth, and I love it,” Anderson told the media via Reuters’ Maria Saito. “I need that fire under my ass to keep me working hard and to keep me on my toes.”
Coady looks to bounce back from an ACL tear in the 2018 games. She never competed in Pyeongchang since she tore it in practice.
“At the time you never really see it like that, you’re like ‘oh why me’. But I think these days when I have a comp that doesn’t go well, I’ll take so much more out of it than a comp that went well, because you learn a lot more lessons,” Coady said according to 7News.com’s Camilla Theakstone.
“It’s the same kind of thing with injuries – it can be hard to see at the time and it’s tough but in hindsight it can be a really important thing that happens,” she added.
Gasser comes into the event with past Olympic success. She won gold in 2018 for the big air snowboarding event. She also competed slopestyle for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi. This year, she will do both.
