On Monday, Canada’s Alpine Skiing and Ski-Cross unveiled its roster, which includes Gavin Rowell.
Rowell, who is a local product, will compete in his first Olympics. In 2019, the 26-year-old claimed a silver medal in the world juniors.

With 18 podium finishes on the NorAm circuit throughout his career, he has recently carved out a regular spot on the World Cup circuit, bringing 54 appearances into the 2025-26 season.
