It would be easy to forget that Ben Tudhope is only 23 years old, World Champion, Paralympic Medalist and 6x World Cup Champion to his name, not missing the podium once from 11 events in the 2023 season.
Ben has now competed on the World Cup Circuit for 9 years and is regarded as one of the fiercest competitors on tour. Following his Paralympic Games debut in Sochi, Ben won a Bronze medal at X Games Aspen, an exclusive action sports event, winning the first medal of his career, an achievement that ranks amongst the highlights of his career.
Ben competed at the Pyeongchang 2018 Paralympic Games, becoming the 1st Australian to consecutively be the youngest on the team at two Paralympic Games.
"I love the adrenaline it gives you. You always feel pumped on a snowboard, ready to do anything that comes in your way.”
