Atkins quickly followed up that success with a bronze medal at the World Championships in Sierra Nevada, Spain. This season she has finished seventh and third in her two World Cup appearances and has one last run out at the Winter X-Games to come, before heading to PyeongChang to potentially make more history.
Family rivalry will be played out on the snow-covered slopes thanks to sisters Katie and Molly Summerhayes. They are both seeking gold in different events.
The sisters from the city of Sheffield, are included in Team GB's freestyle skiing squad.
Katie Summerhayes, 22, takes part in the women's slope style, while young sibling Molly, 20, competes in the women's half pipe.
Katie Summerhayes is considered one of Britain's best medal chances having finished seventh four years ago and won a world silver medal in 2017. She will compete in the slopestyle event, which sees skiers judged as they perform a dizzying array of tricks and jumps on a downhill course pitted with obstacles.
Her younger sister will make her first Olympic appearance in the halfpipe, in which she won the world junior title three years ago.
Katie commented: "Having Molly to share the experience with me is great. I've told her so much about last time and now she gets to share it with me."
Making a second Games team has not been easy for the older Summerhayes sister who has been off the snow since picking up an injury last month, only returning to action this week.
