Freestyle skiers James Woods & Kate Summerhayes- who are both originally from Sheffield-are taking part on the slopes.

Freestyle skiing has been a medal sport on the Olympic programme since Albertville 1992 and consists of aerials, moguls, ski cross, half pipe and slopestyle.
GB Snowsport head coach, Pat Sharples, said: “I’m so proud of every single athlete who’s been selected for the Olympic Winter Games squad today. Behind every name on this list is a huge amount of hard work, determination, and commitment, and every single squad member really deserves their place.
“It’s true, though, that the hard work is only just beginning. The next few weeks are going to be a huge challenge, but we back every athlete on this squad to do themselves and their country proud in Beijing.”
