Freestyle Ski, Snowboard and Freeski World Championships 2023: GB squad and coverage
- Published
Britain's Charlotte Bankes will be defending her snowboard cross world title
The 2023 Freestyle Ski, Snowboard and Freeski World Championships are under way, with coverage of selected finals available on iPlayer, BBC Sport website and BBC Sport app.
Bakuriani in Georgia hosts the championships, which run from Monday, 19 February until Sunday, 5 March and there will be a 13-strong Great Britain squad competing.
World champion Charlotte Bankes will be looking to defend her individual snowboard cross title and will also compete alongside her 2022 Beijing Olympics partner Huw Nightingale in the team event, as he makes his debut in this competition.
Rising star Mia Brookes is also set to make her first appearance on the World Championships stage, building on the outstanding performances from her debut season. She is Britain's sole entrant for the freestyle snowboard, with Maisie Hill and Katie Ormerod missing out through injury.
The Freeski team holds a wealth of experience, with Tyler Harding poised to compete at his fourth championships alongside Chris McCormick at his third. They are joined by 2019 slopestyle world champion James Woods and 2021 World Cup silver medallist Kirsty Muir.
British hopes in the ski cross rest on Ollie Davies, who took a stellar fourth at the 2021 Idre Fjall Championships. Likewise, Zoe Atkin, who came third in Aspen in 2021, is the lone representative in the freeski halfpipe.
Makayla Gerken Schofield will be entering the moguls after winning bronze at the Dual Moguls World Cup in January. That secured Great Britain's second ever podium at that level - three years after her older brother, Tom Gerken Schofield, secured the first.
The siblings will be joined in the moguls competition by Will Feneley, who recently matched his best World Cup finish of eighth, and Mateo Jeannesson, who this season broke into the top 20 for the first time.
