Tudhope claims 50th career World Cup podium

Published Sun 18 Jan 2026

Three time Winter Paralympian Ben Tudhope has made Australian Para Snowboard history, claiming his 50th World Cup podium result with back-to-back silvers in Austria overnight.

With his eyes firmly set on a fourth Paralympic Games in Milano-Cortina, Tudhope battled challenging conditions at the course in Kuehtai.

Due to unpredictable weather and unsafe conditions, the finals were cancelled, and results from Run 1 and Run 2 were used to determine the podium.

Tudhope sat in first place after Run 1, but a fall in his second run saw him just miss out on top spot.

The Para Snowboard World Cup circuit now moves to Link, Switzerland for the first Snowboard Cross event of the year, set to be held on 21-23 January.
