Para snowboard is one of the most dynamic disciplines at the Paralympic Winter Games.The sport includes two main events: Banked Slalom and Snowboard Cross. In Banked Slalom, athletes race individually against the clock on a course filled with banked turns, requiring technical precision, rhythm and control. Snowboard cross is head-to-head racing, where multiple riders compete simultaneously on a course featuring jumps, rollers and tight turns.
