Chris McCormick (born 13 June 1998) is a Scottish freestyle skier. He represented Great Britain at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
McCormick competed at the Olympic Trials for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Although close, he did not receive a spot on the team. As Scotland's top freestyle skier, he qualified for Great Britain's team for the 2026 Winter Olympics, where he made his Olympic debut,[1] competing in the men's big air and men's slopestyle events.[2] McCormick had an ankle injury during the qualifying rounds and did not proceed to the finals.[3][4]
McCormick grew up in Bearsden and began learning to ski at age six due to his family's proximity to a dryslope. His elder brothers developed an affinity for snowboarding, including his brother Matt who was a hopeful for the 2022 Winter Olympics before a concussion in 2020.[5]
As of 2026, McCormick attends the Open University, where he is studying mathematics and physics.[6]
