Snowboarding was one of the competitions at the 2022 Winter Paralympics in Beijing, China. [2] [3] In total, eight medal events were held. [2]
Para-snowboarding is divided into three classification categories. [4]
SB-LL1 was removed from the programme for female athletes in June 2019 as an insufficient number of athletes competed in this class at the 2019 World Para Snowboard Championships. [7] [8] In January 2022, American snowboarder Brenna Huckaby, classified as SB-LL1 snowboarder, won a court decision to allow her to compete at the 2022 Winter Paralympics. [9] [10] French snowboarder Cécile Hernandez learned days before her competition that she was also allowed to compete. [11] [12] They competed in SB-LL2 classified events. [13]
The ranking in the table is based on information provided by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and will be consistent with IPC convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table will be ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IPC country code.
