Gary Zebrowski (born July 21, 1984 in Papeete ) is a former French snowboarder .
Career
Zebrowski made his international debut at some FIS races in February 1999. From the beginning of his career, the main focus of the sport for him was the halfpipe . At the French Championships in 2000 in Serre-Chevallier Zebrowski reached rank 24. A year later he drove to ninth place.
On January 13, 2002, Zebrowski made his debut in the Snowboard World Cup . In L'Alpe d'Huez , when he was 23rd, he immediately collected his first World Cup points. After he was second on the podium for the first time a little later in the European Snowboard Cup in Bischofswiesen and was also able to win the FIS race in Saint-Gervais in March , Zebrowski got a place at the Junior Snowboard World Championship in Rovaniemi . As 57th, however, he clearly missed a good placement.
From December 2002 Zebrowski was part of the French squad in the World Cup. In the third season World Cup in Whistler he reached the top 10 for the first time. For the Snowboard World Championship 2003 in Kreischberg he was registered for the halfpipe and snowboard cross. After he reached 20th place in the halfpipe, he decided not to start in snowboard cross. Four weeks later, he finished 24th at the 2003 Junior Snowboarding World Championship in Prato Nevoso .
After he finished second and third in Serre Chevalier and Arosa at the end of the season, he achieved two World Cup podium places. At the Snowboard Junior World Championships 2004 in Oberwiesenthal , Zebrowski reached 35th place in Big Air. At the following halfpipe competition, he won the title. But after doping was proven at the end of the season at Zebrowski, this title was deleted from the official lists. After a year suspension he came back to the World Cup and won his first World Cup in March in Tandådalen .
At the 2006 Winter Olympics , he was sixth in the halfpipe . At the following French championships he secured 13th place. After Zebrowski only landed 17th in Saas-Fee at the beginning of the 2006/07 season , this was the only World Cup this season. At the Snowboard World Championships 2007 he reached eighth place in the halfpipe.
Two years later, after Zebrowski had repeatedly switched between World Cup, European Cup and Nor-Am Cup, he started at the 2009 Snowboard World Championship in Gangwon-do . There he did not make it into the top 10 again and finished eleventh. A few weeks later in March 2009 he achieved the second World Cup victory in his career in Valmalenco .
Zebrowski celebrated his last start for the World Ski Federation FIS at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver , where he again achieved 13th place in the halfpipe.
