BIOGRAPHY
Elise Coleiro is one of Australia’s promising aerial skiing talents, representing the next generation of the Flying Kangaroos.
A Victorian Institute of Sport scholarship holder, Coleiro transitioned from an acrobatic background into aerial skiing and has quickly progressed through the ranks to compete on the world cup stage.
Coleiro made her FIS World Cup debut in January 2025 at Lake Placid, finishing 29th, and continued her campaign with improved results across the season.
She achieved her career-best World Cup finishes of 13th place at three events, Beidahu (China), Almaty (Kazakhstan), and Livigno (Italy), on the 2026 Olympic course.
At the iconic Deer Valley World Cup, she placed 15th, narrowly missing finals in a historic event where Australia swept the top four positions.
The following week, Coleiro showcased her potential at the Nor-Am Cup event in Utah, claiming first place with a score of 70.46 points for a lay-tuck double back somersault—her first international victory.
