The Olympic snowboarding program has been revised for each Games, with only the halfpipe competition appearing every time. The Giant Slalom, that appeared in the 1998 Winter Olympics Games, was replaced by the Parallel Giant Slalom in 2002, while Snowboard Cross (also known as Boardercross) was introduced at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games.
