Stuart Parkinson (31 May 1929 – 25 October 1989) was a British alpine skier and bobsledder. A former lieutenant in the Royal Engineers and 21 Special Air Service British army soldier, he competed in the men's downhill at the 1948 Winter Olympics and in the two-man and four-man bobsleigh events at the 1956 Winter Olympics.[1] Parkinson was the flag bearer for Great Britain at Cortina during the 1956 Olympics. Along with his 1956 Olympic partner Christopher Williams, Parkinson won the first ever Commonwealth Winter Games 2-man bob title in 1958, representing England.[2]
