BIOGRAPHY

Picture
Abbey Willcox developed her acrobatic abilities through gymnastics and sports acrobatics, and has used this platform to build her aerial skiing skills.

After training on water ramps in Melbourne, AU and Park City, Utah USA, she commenced jumping on snow and debuted her international career in 2016 at the Europa Cup in Ruka, Finland.

Willcox performed at her first World Cup in Lake Placid, USA 2019, progressing to double-twisting double-flips. She continued to compete throughout the 2019 World Cup tour, recording a personal best World Cup finish of 13th in Minsk, narrowly missing out on qualifying for the 12-woman final. In her first year of competing, she stood on the podium along side Laura Peel, together placing 3rd at the inaugural World Cup Aerial Synchronised Team Event, also held in Minsk.

With her sights on the 2022 Olympics, Willcox looks to continue to enhance her skills and add another twist into her double-flips for a competitive edge.
