Beijing 2022 will be Nico Porteous' second Olympic Winter Games.
The Wanaka based skier will be representing New Zealand in freeski halfpipe.
Porteous competed at PyeongChang 2018 where he became New Zealand's youngest ever Olympic Winter Games medallist when he claimed the bronze medal in freeski halfpipe.
He heads into Beijing off the back of a successful World Championships in 2021, where he was crowned Freeski Halfpipe World Champion.
Porteous also claimed the gold medal at the prestigious 2021 Aspen Winter X Games in the same discipline. He was the first Kiwi freeski athlete to win both these events and landed a world first trick combination in competition (back-to-back 1620s) in the process.
Porteous is coached by Snow Sports New Zealand High Performance Freeski Coach Tommy Pyatt and is based in Wanaka while in New Zealand.
In his time off snow he is an avid mountain biker and skateboarder.
