ABOUT Jarryd Hughes
My journey as a professional Snowboard Cross athlete has taken me to three Winter Olympic Games, with highlights including a Silver Medal at PyeongChang 2018, Gold at the X Games, and Gold at the FIS World Championships. I’m proud to be the only Australian SBX athlete to podium at the Olympics, X Games, and World Championships— but I’m not done yet.
I’ve just returned home to undergo two emergency surgeries on my foot, and while this setback wasn’t part of the plan, I’m now focused on recovery and getting back to peak form in time for the 2025 World Cup season and ultimately, Milano Cortina 2026 — my fourth Olympic Games.
Years of highs and lows — including seven previous knee surgeries and an ankle injury — have taught me how to overcome adversity and keep pushing forward. Now, more than ever, your support is crucial.
Your donation will help cover flights, competition and training expenses, as well as allow me to invest in the recovery, nutrition, and equipment needed to return stronger than ever. It ensures I don’t have to choose between the essentials as I focus on making it back to the world stage.
While I continue chasing Olympic gold, I also hope to inspire the next generation of Aussie athletes — showing that setbacks are just part of the story, and with the right support, you can come back even stronger.
All donations are tax-deductible through the Australian Sports Foundation and will directly help me on this comeback journey.
Thanks so much for being part of it.
