History of snowboarding

• Snowboarding is believed to have originated in the United States. Though its origins are sketchy, and plenty of children and adults can claim to have stood up on a flat surface of some sort and slid down their local sled hill, there are several names, dates, and inventions that are agreed-upon highlights in the most common histories of the sport.

 Snowboarding was finally recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1994 and debuted at the Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, in 1998. This breakthrough with the Olympics was greeted with mixed emotions by snowboarders; in fact, three-time world champion snowboarder Terje Håkonsen of Norway boycotted the Olympic Games because of a disagreement with the IOC.

At the 1998 Games, four events (two for men and two for women) were held in two specialties: the giant slalom, a downhill event similar to giant slalom skiing; and the halfpipe, in which competitors performed tricks while going from one side of a semicircular pipe to the other.
