Snowboarding is not only one of the newer sports within the Olympic movement, but within Special Olympics too. Snowboarding was adopted by the International Olympic Committee as an Olympic sport in 1994, with an inaugural Olympic competition in 1998 in Nagano, Japan. The physical demands of this fast paced sport are challenging for any athlete. At a minimum, Snowboarding requires a combination of quick reflexes, good balance and strong physical fitness.
As in all Special Olympics sports, athletes are grouped in competition divisions according to ability level, age and gender.
