Olympic gold and bronze medallist aerial skier, Alisa Camplin, is an Australian World Champion, two times World Cup Grand Prix Champion and World Record Holder from 2003 - 2006.
She set a new precedent in the world of aerial skiing, fast tracking her career to win a gold medal after only seven years in a truly challenging but beautiful winter sport. Her story has captivated the world and made history at the same time through grit, determination and quiet dedication. To win the gold medal at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, the 5-foot-2-inch Australian landed a “back full/double full” on her second jump, out-jumping the world record holder, reigning World Cup (WC) Grand Prix Champion and the World Champion to become Australia’s Olympic Champion.
At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Alisa won a bronze medal and became the first person in history to win back-to-back Olympic aerial medals. She also had the honour to carry the Australian Flag and lead the Australian team at the Olympic Games.
Since winning the Olympic title in 2002, Alisa has had two phenomenal seasons. By the end of the 2002/03 season she was the reigning World Record Holder, World Champion and the WC Grand Prix Champion! Alisa is only the second woman in the history of the sport to hold all three titles (Olympic, World & WC) at the same time, known as “The Triple Crown”.
In 2003/04, Alisa won her second consecutive aerial skiing WC Grand Prix title after claiming seven victories, two silver and one bronze medal. Alisa has become only the third woman in freestyle skiing history to claim seven victories in one season. She’s had 10 victories since her Olympic Games medal in 2002 and has made the podium 15 times in 20 consecutive World Cup events.
Few know about Alisa's path to glory, including her ongoing quest for perfection, unwavering dedication and multiple injury comebacks, yet she’s the first to admit that it was all worth it to become Australia’s first-ever female Winter Olympic gold medallist, duel Olympic medallist, World Champion, World Record Holder and two times WC Grand Prix Champion.
These days, Alisa spends more of her time back in Australia where her Audi Q7 3.0 TDI is as handy for her frequent trips to the Australian snowfields as it is around town. She’s a great Audi Ambassador thanks to her extraordinary talent, determination and a great personality to match – she’s always up for a new challenge and has even attended Audi Hamilton Island Race Week to show her skills out on the water are almost as good as those on the slopes.
