Rowan Coultas (born 21 June 1997) is a British snowboarder on Team GB. He represented Great Britain in the 2018 Winter Olympics[1] in Big Air and came 17th.

What started with a Christmas present of a snowboard lesson in 2009 lead him to an impressive professional career, joining Team GB at only 13 years old and lead him to becoming an Olympian.

He made his World Cup debut in February 2015 at the Park City slopestyle event, finishing 13th, and over the following seasons achieved several top-10 finishes at World Cup events as well as podium results at competitions like the Red Bull Nanshan Open and Sony Xperia Big Air

After a silver Junior World Championship medal to his name from 2010 and numerous World Cup top-ten finishes, Coultas was selected to make his Olympic debut at PyeongChang 2018.

He competed in both the men's slopestyle and big air in South Korea, finishing 18th in his heat in the former and eighth in his heat in the latter. The big air performance saw him miss out on qualification for the final by just half a point.
