Zoe Gillings is the #1 British snowboardcross rider but has had a turbulent two years away from Winter X. She tore cartilage in her left knee at the 2010 Winter Olympics (while finishing 8th), and suffered funding cuts. To offset those cuts, she started her own online shopping business in May 2011 to fund her snowboarding. The aggressive rider was last at WX in 2009, when she finished 11th.
The British ski and snowboard federation has gone bankrupt, but the national Olympic committee says athletes will still compete in Vancouver.
