Queralt Castellet Ibáñez (born 17 June 1989) is a Spanish snowboarder. She won a silver medal in the women's halfpipe at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, making her the first Spanish woman to win an Olympic medal at a Winter Olympics for 30 years.[1] She was a silver medalist at the 2015 World Championships.

Life and career

Castellet was born in Sabadell. She states that although she lived in the city, her parents would take her to the mountains every weekend as they enjoyed camping. She began snowboarding at age 6 after her parents had discovered it four years prior. She also participated in gymnastics, but was forced to stop at age 16 after fracturing her wrist while snowboarding. This prompted her to move to the Pyrenees to snowboard more frequently.[2] As a teenager she competed at the 2006 Winter Olympics, and finished tenth in halfpipe at the 2007 World Snowboard Championships. During the 2007-08 Snowboarding World Cup circuit she placed on the podium three times, and overall she placed third in the halfpipe section of the 2007–08 World Cup.[3]

At the 2010 Winter Olympics she scored a 44.3 on her first qualifying run, third highest. However, she suffered a concussion while practicing in the lead-up to the final and was subsequently forced to withdraw.

At the World Cup, she has seven victories, and ten additional podiums in halfpipe, and another podium in big air.

She won silver in the women's halfpipe at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, her fifth Olympic Games.[1]

Personal

Castellet currently lives in New Zealand.
