Brenna Huckaby (born 22 January 1996) is an American para snowboarder. Huckaby stormed into the Para snowboard scene at 19-years-old, when she claimed a pair of World Championship medals, including gold in snowboard-cross. She missed the next season due to pregnancy, but came back even stronger. Rejoining the national team’s training in August 2016, Huckaby reached the top of the podium in all but two of her World Para Snowboard events in the season.
Huckaby’s first love was gymnastics. At 14 years old, she was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer which resulted in the amputation of her right leg above the knee. Following a difficult year in which the teenager had to give-up gymnastics, Huckaby was invited on a rehabilitation ski trip. She wanted to snowboard because it reminded her of the beam, her most successful event, and the transition was smooth.
