BIOGRAPHY

element_settings.Image+Text_94464494.default
Like many of her teammates, Airleigh Frigo was recruited to aerial skiing after competing in gymnastics as a teenager.Frigo made her international debut in January 2019 at the Nor-Am Cup event in Park City, UT, USA, finishing in 13th place.

In the 2019-2020 season, Frigo again competed on the Nor-Am circuit in Park City and Le Relais, QC, Canada, recording a new personal best finish of sixth.

COVID forced Frigo to sit out the 2020-2021 international season, but she returned to competition in December 2021 with her World Cup debut in Ruka, Finland, where she finished in 32nd place. Frigo finished her season at the Nor-Am in Park City, claiming her first career podium with a second-place finish.

In the 2022-2023 season, Frigo started the season with a 16th-place finish in Ruka, Finland, and also had a personal best World Cup finish at Le Relais, Canada, advancing to her first-ever final, finishing in 12th. Frigo made her World Championship debut in Bakuriani, Georgia, in February, where she finished in 14th.

In September 2023, Frigo took part in the first aerial skiing event on Australian soil, competing at the Water Jump Grand Prix at the Geoff Henke Olympic Winter Training Centre in Brisbane.
Frigo took out the victory with a score of 85.36, finishing ahead of fellow Aussie teammate Abbey Willcox (79.69) and Ukraine’s Diana Yablonska (68.44).

“It felt amazing; it was the first win for me in an Aerials competition and it was great to do it on home soil,” said Frigo.

“I train here all year round so I really know the facility, and I think that was a huge advantage.
“It’s a great place to train; the weather is always great… hopefully, there are more [events] to come in the future.

“With this facility, we are able to train more and more often and get our jumps really good, so when the winter comes, it’ll all carry through.

Frigo commenced the 2023-2024 FIS World Cup season with a 17th place finish at the opening World Cup in Ruka, Finland.

She then headed across to Changchun, China, for the next World Cup of the season, improving to finish in 15th.

Frigo remained in Australia for the second half of the international competition season to rehabilitate an injury sustained earlier in the season.

Frigo has now returned to full training and is looking forward to a full domestic season of water jump training at the Geoff Henke Olympic Training Centre in Brisbane.
