In the super-G and downhill, Chemmy Alcott was a rare female competitor in a historically male-dominated GB team.

Alcott impressed as she finished 11th in the women's downhill, but was disqualified from the combined due to a technical infringement with the width of her skis.

The members of the men's team were Euan Byers, Ewan McDonald, David Murdoch, Warwick Smith and Craig Wilson.

The members of the women's team were Kelly Wood, Lynn Cameron, Deborah Knox, Jacqueline Lockhart and Rhona Martin.

The men's short track speed skating team was Jon Eley and Paul Stanley.

This was the first Olympics in which Great Britain and Northern Ireland sent a full short track speed skating team.

First-time Olympian Zoe Gillings was the sole British competitor in the snowboardcross event which had its first Olympic appearance in 2006.
