Winter Olympics 2026: Dave Ryding and Mia Brookes in Team GB squad for Milan-Cortina

Multiple World Cup gold medallist Kirsty Muir was Team GB’s youngest athlete four years ago in Beijing, and at the age of 21 she returns for her second Olympics to compete in the freestyle skiing slopestyle and big air alongside Chris McCormick.

Freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy, who retired after the 2022 Games but returned to training last year, returns to the Olympic stage in the halfpipe alongside Liam Richards, while Maisie Hill and Txema Mazet-Brown join Brookes in competing in snowboard slopestyle and big air.

Like Ryding, Andrew Musgrave will compete at his fifth Olympics as he participates in the cross-country. He is selected alongside Beijing 2022 veteran James Clugnet and debutants Joe Davies and Anna Pryce.

Ollie Davies is Team GB’s sole representative in the ski cross, while Makayla Gerken Schofield and Mateo Jeannesson will compete in the moguls.

“Over the past four years, our skiers and snowboarders have shown they’re capable of mixing it with the very best in the world, and the squad that’s heading out for these Games is a real reflection of the talent, grit, and will to win that makes British sport so special,” said Vicky Gosling, GB Snowsport chief executive.

UK Sport believes Team GB could win between four and eight medals at next month’s Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.

The nation’s best medal haul at a Winter Games is five, achieved at Sochi 2014 and matched in Pyeongchang four years later, but Team GB came home from Beijing in 2022 with just two medals.

The BBC will broadcast more than 450 hours of live action from the Games, which run from Friday 6 to Sunday 22 February.
