Jakara Anthony wins historic gold

14/2/2026

​Australian Flag Bearer Jakara Anthony has won gold in the newest Olympic event, Women’s Dual Moguls. 

This adds to her moguls victory from Beijing 2022, making her the only Australian Winter Olympian to win two gold medals.

Anthony’s win takes Australia’s Milano Cortina medal tally to three gold medals and a silver medal – the most successful in history.  

“My first Olympic gold medal in Beijing was mind-blowing; this is mind-blowing as well,” Anthony said. 

“To have my friends and family here for it, to be the first ever dual moguls gold medal at the Olympics, to be the first Australian to have two gold medals, and to have been able to overcome the adversity of the other day and bounce back and put down that performance, this one is special for a whole lot of other reasons.” 

Anthony powered through the five rounds of head-to-head judged racing, keeping it clean and consistent throughout.  

From her opening run against Malica Malherbe (RSA) it was clear the 27-year-old had fire in the belly and she was ready to chase that gold medal – a redemption run after the moguls did not go to plan just three days ago.  

Straight from the start Anthony was clean and tidy in her skiing with great tricks executed well in snowy conditions.  

She maintained her composure throughout every round including a semi-final win over American Elizabeth Lemley, the Women's Moguls gold medallist from three days ago.  

Lining up against American Jaelin Kauf (USA) in the final, Anthony triumphed over one of the best mogul skiers in the world. She beat her across the line and after a long wait for the judges, outscored the Women’s Moguls silver medallist 20-15.  

Anthony said she shed a few tears and had a lot of conversations with her coaching team following her eighth-place result in the moguls, but then turned her focus to the duals event and how to give herself the best chance for success. 

“You know, to be honest, I was doubting myself a bit this morning after what happened the other day and this was only my second duals event in about two-and-a-half years,” she explained. 

“There were just a lot of unknowns – also first duals event at the Olympics – we didn't really know how certain things were going to go, but I feel like I built really well throughout the day, and I have so many people believing in me, helping me get that belief in myself. 

“I think by the end I was just pretty sure I was going to give it my best shot and put down some runs that we were proud of.”  

Anthony said it was “wild” to contribute to Australia’s best-ever Winter Olympic Games. 

“It’s so wild and to have taken home two gold medals in moguls, with Cooper Woods, and the boys still have another chance tomorrow in the Dual Moguls. We've got Josie Baff over in border cross, we had Scotty James last night in the halfpipe. 

“Like we were saying in the lead up, this is probably our best team yet and we were expecting big thing these Games, and I think the whole team has delivered across the board.”

​Fellow Australians Emma Bosco and Charlotte Wilson went head-to-head in the opening 1/16 final, with Bosco progressing to the 1/8 final, where she was knocked out by Kauf, the eventual silver medallist. 

Wilson said it was a shame to face off against her friend and teammate in the first round, but the Aussie pair made history. 

“You never really want friendly fire, especially not that early on, but to get to ski the first ever Dual Olympic Moguls, and to do it with my best friend, is also pretty epic,” Wilson said. 

“Nobody can ever take that away from us, we were the first to ever do it, so that’s pretty exciting." 

While she was disappointed to not push deeper into the rounds, Wilson said she is taking a lot of positives from her debut Games experience. 

“Obviously today is a bit of a bummer, but I think being my first Games, I have a lot of positives to take out of it. 

“I am grateful to experience the ups and downs of an Olympic Games and hopefully four years from now, all of that is a little less surprising and I can hopefully go for a medal.” 

Olympic debutant Bosco also said she was incredibly proud of her debut Games and her teams’ success. 

“It’s been a massive 10 days here but super stoked with how I skied and excited for what my team has done as well. 

“Jakara leads out team fearlessly, so it’s awesome to have her around.” 

The Australian Men's Moguls Team will contest the Dual Moguls event on Sunday 15 February.

Australian heartbreak and breakthrough in Women’s Moguls final

11/2/2026

 
Picture
They say you can never predict an Olympic Final, and that sentiment rang true in the Women’s Moguls – an event that delivered both heartbreak and breakthrough moments for Australia.

Olympic debutant Charlotte Wilson shone on the sport’s biggest stage with a sixth place finish, while defending champion Jakara Anthony placed eighth.

Coming in as the top qualifier, Anthony put down a clinical first run in finals, scoring 83.96 and again grabbed the top spot for the Super Final. 

As the last skier down the course, the 27yearold opened strongly with a clean top air before uncharacteristically skiing out of the middle section. Though she recovered quickly and completed her run, she scored 60.81 to place eighth. 

Olympic debutant Wilson rebounded from her own mistake in qualifying on Tuesday with confidence and composure, delivering three outstanding runs on Wednesday. 

The 20-year-old topped the second qualification round with a 77.79 to secure her place in the finals, then improved again with a 78.38 in Final 1 to advance in fifth. Her final run, a 75.17, sealed an impressive sixth place on Olympic debut. 

“It’s pretty exciting, it’s definitely not what I anticipated when I came out this morning, but it just got better and better,” 20-year-old Wilson said. 

“I was focusing more on the skiing than the atmosphere and the outcome, and that really works for me and it paid off today. 

“This was my first Super Final this season… so I just wanted to take in as much as I could, but I’m definitely pretty excited to get sixth place.” 

The Livigno Aerials and Moguls Park was awash with green and gold fans, which Wilson said worked to her advantage on day two. 

“It was pretty amazing. I took it as a positive thing today and definitely tried to build from it, knowing that all these people are here because they’re proud of me and want to see me ski – not because they want to see me win a medal, but because they’re proud of me.” 

For Anthony, the Super Final was a tough end to an otherwise worldclass display of skiing through the earlier rounds. 

“I’m bummed obviously,” she said. “I’m really proud of the skiing I was able to do on the course, I was skiing and jumping at such a high level and with good speed. 

“I think I had what it took to take that top step – I showed that on the first couple of rounds – but didn’t put it down on the last when it counted.” 

A self-described perfectionist, the three-time Olympian said she will review the footage before turning her focus to the next opportunity.  

“It’s nice we’ve got the Dual Moguls – it’s not four years to wait until the next opportunity, it’s only three days, so definitely looking forward to that,” she said. 

“I’m still really happy with my process and how I went about this competition, and I still really think I had what it took. I’ll be going into Dual Moguls making a few adjustments because that sport is a little different – a bit more speed dependant – but we’ll shift the focus and learn what we can.” 

Wilson was also quick to rally around her teammate after the final. 

“I gave her a hug and told her I was proud of her,” Wilson said.  

“I’m super bummed for her. As a team we win together and we lose together and another three days and she’ll be back at it fighting for another gold. 

“I’m proud of her. Our Team and our country is proud of her, no matter what,” Wilson said. 

The women’s podium was an American one-two, with 20-year-old Elizabeth Lemley winning gold (82.30) ahead of her compatriot Jaelin Kauf (80.77), who won a second Olympic silver in this event. PyeongChang 2018 gold medallist, France's Perrine Laffont (78.00), claimed the bronze.  

The Australian Women’s Moguls Team will return to the Livigno Aerial and Moguls Park for Dual Moguls on Saturday 14 February, when the head-to-head format makes its Olympic debut. 

First, the Australian Men’s Moguls Team take centre stage on Thursday 12 February, with Cooper Woods, George Murphy and Jackson Harvey aiming for top10 finishes in Qualification 2 to join Matt Graham in the 20skier final.​​

Anthony top qualifier in Women’s Moguls

10/2/2026

 
Picture
​Defending Olympic Champion Jakara Anthony has confidently opened her Milano Cortina 2026 campaign with a dominant run in the women’s moguls, scoring 81.65 as the top qualifier. 

The 27-year-old joins fellow Opening Ceremony Flag Bearer Matt Graham as the two Australians to bypass the next qualification round, and advance straight through to finals.

Anthony said her opening run reflected what she and her team planned for Day 1. 

“My run felt like what I needed to put down for qualifications, it felt pretty tidy, it’s what we came out here to do today,” she said. 

Heading into Milano Cortina as the reigning Olympic Champion, Anthony said she is embracing the unique opportunity but remains focused on her process. 

“It’s definitely a bit different coming in as defending Champion, but also a really cool opportunity,” said Anthony. “Only one person gets that chance every four years and pretty cool that it's me this time around. 

“My approach for the competition doesn't change because of that. You know, I'm still out there just trying to hit the cues in the run that I know I need to and put down the run that I'm capable of. 

“Me and my team, we've done everything to put me in the position to do that and now it's just time to go execute and it's going to be what it's going to be.” 

Fellow Aussie Emma Bosco put down a strong performance to place 17th (66.58) after Qualification 1. 

Charlotte Wilson, after mistiming a mogul in the middle section and briefly pulling off the course, recovered to complete her run and sits 28th (49.95). 

Both Bosco and Wilson will have another opportunity to qualify on Wednesday, with the top 10 from Qualification 2 joining Anthony in the 20-skier final. 

Bosco, 23, said it was incredible to make her Olympic debut in front of her family. 

“It means a lot to me; 18 months ago this was looking very unlikely for me – I hadn’t even skied a World Cup before,” Bosco said. 

“The last year has been quite a whirlwind and I’m happy to lay it down in front of the people I love. I think they were some of my best jumps all season. 

“I think you can see [the crowd] as pressure, or you can see it as something that boosts you. I was thinking at the top that no matter what I do, at the bottom I’ll get to see my family, so that’s pretty cool.” 

Bosco said that she took her cue from Anthony heading into her debut. 

“I’ve been training alongside Jakara since I was 15, so a lot of what I do in my day-to-day I’ve taken from her, so now to be at the Olympics with her is really special.” 

While Wilson was disappointed she couldn’t replicate the runs she performed in training, she said she’s turning her attention to her second qualification attempt on Wednesday. 

“It’s nice to get a run out of the way and tick that box, and now I can focus on doing the run that I did in training that I know I can put down,” Wilson said. 

“I’ll rest, reset and go over that run, but also look at all the good training runs I’ve done over the past few days and take those points into tomorrow and hopefully learn and put down a good run.” 

Bosco and Wilson will line up for Qualification 2 at 9pm AEDT on Wednesday 11 February. The top 10 from Qualification 2 will join Anthony in the Finals from 12:15am AEDT on Thursday morning.

Anthony makes history with record breaking 26th World Cup victory

17/1/2026

 
Picture
Jakara Anthony has rewritten Australian winter sports history, taking out her 26th World Cup victory with a commanding performance in Waterville Valley, USA, surpassing legendary aerial skier Jacqui Cooper on 25 wins to become Australia’s all‑time World Cup wins leader.
 
The NSWIS skier heads into the Milano‑Cortina Olympic Winter Games on a three‑event winning streak, and ranked number one on the World Cup standings as she prepares for February.
 
Anthony was the only female skier to break the 80-point barrier on the day, winning all three rounds of the event in a commanding performance. She opened with a score of 80.04 points in qualification, and in the first round of finals secured her place in the six woman super-final with 81.59 points.
 
In the super-final, Anthony performed another fast and clean run with her jumps including a cork 7 and backflip mute grab to score 81.17 points, 3.05 points ahead of second place finisher Elizabeth Lemley of the USA on 78.12. Another American, Olivia Giaccio, rounded out the podium in third on 76.60 points.
 
NSWIS teammate Charlotte Wilson also impressed, reaching the top‑16 women’s final and finishing 13th, her third finals appearance of the season.
 
In the men’s event, NSWIS pair Matt Graham and Jackson Harvey both qualified strongly for finals, placing third and eighth respectively with scores of 78.34 and 75.32. In the final, Harvey backed up his recent form with another top‑10 result, finishing eighth with 78.00 points. Unfortunately Graham was too big and back on his bottom air landing after skiing an excellent run to that point, leading to a score of 65.94 points to finish 16th.
 
“I guess I have a good track record here now,” said Anthony, who was a double winner in Waterville at her last event at the New Hampshire resort.
 
“It hasn’t been the easiest comp this week, and the season’s been all over the place. I’m just super stoked to put down a few really clean runs.
 
“It’s a nice place to leave the World Cup season on hold until the next one,” added Anthony, as she gets ready for next month’s Olympic Games.
 
Also in action were Aussies Emma Bosco finishing 23rd in the women’s event and in the men’s competition Cooper Woods was 22nd and George Murphy 42nd.
 
After four events, Anthony has extended her lead on the World Cup standings on 340 points, a 78‑point lead over the USA’s Tess Johnson. In the men’s rankings, Graham sits second on 245 points, trailing Japan’s Ikuma Horishima by 51 points, with Harvey rounding in tenth on 93 points.
 
The Australian Mogul Team will now travel to Ruka, Finland, for a training camp before heading to Italy for the Milano‑Cortina Olympic Winter Games.

Anthony wins gold and Graham takes silver as both claim yellow leader’s bib in Canada

11/1/2026

 
Picture
NSWIS mogul skiers have started 2026 impressively, with Jakara Anthony winning gold and Matt Graham claiming silver in Val St. Come, Canada. Their second consecutive dual podium finish propels both athletes into the coveted yellow leader’s bib ranked number one on the standings, the first time Australia has simultaneously held the top ranking in both men’s and women’s moguls.
 
Wet conditions with poor visibility impacted the competition, reducing the women’s event to a single run, while the men’s event was delayed for several hours before proceeding with qualifying and a one-run final.
 
Anthony opened with a commanding run, scoring 79.83 points to ultimately give her the victory with a margin of close to four points ahead of American Tess Johnson in second place with 75.85. Fellow American Olivia Giaccio rounded out the podium in third with 75.78.
 
With this victory, Anthony now boasts 25 career World Cup wins, matching aerial skiing legend Jacqui Cooper for the most by any Australian athlete.
 
In the men’s event, Matt Graham qualified for the finals in fifth place with a score of 81.22, joined by teammate Jackson Harvey in 15th on 74.39.
 
Graham delivered a strong performance in the final, boosting his score to 83.50 to secure the silver medal, marking the 29th podium of his career. Harvey achieved a personal best, finishing seventh with 80.24 points. Canada’s Mikael Kingsbury claimed victory with 85.83, his 100th of his career, while American Nick Page rounded out the podium in third on 80.96.
 
“It was a different victory tonight, pretty weird competition day, but having put it down in qualifications worked out for me with finals cancelled,” said the 27-year-old Anthony-from Barwon Heads in Victoria.
 
“I find it pretty important to put down the best run that I can from round to round, with the goal to build throughout the day, so that’s just what I was out there doing.”
 
“Very exciting to be back in the yellow jersey, I haven’t worn that since the 2024-2025 season. Even more special to have Matt in the yellow jersey at the same time, I think that’s a first for Australia.”
 
Graham commented after his podium performance.
 
“Obviously a good day, really happy with the way I adapted given the conditions,” said the 31-year-old from the NSW Central Coast.
 
“It pretty much rained all day, with big delays before the qualification round. We had to sit around for two hours, and then buckle up to do the qualification round is always challenging, and at that point in time we were not sure if it would be a one run event or finals would happen, so had to lock in and put in a performance that would give me a good result.
 
“It was huge for Mikael Kingsbury to get his 100th World Cup win, I was glad I was able to share that moment with him, we have competed against each other for a long time and shared a lot of podiums together. Happy I have slowed him up from winning on three sperate occasions, but I am super happy for him and his family.
 
Also representing Australia were Charlotte Wilson, who narrowly missed the finals by just one spot in 17th, and Emma Bosco, finishing 27th. In the men’s competition, George Murphy placed 19th and Cooper Woods finished 21st.
 
Dual Mogul World Cup
The first dual moguls World Cup event of the season also took place in Val St Come, with Graham and Anthony both advancing to the quarter-final round. Graham finished fifth overall, while Anthony secured sixth place.
 
In other Australian results, Bosco placed 22nd and Wilson 27th in the women’s event. For the men, Woods finished 27th, Murphy 36th, and Harvey 46th.
 
The final World Cup events before the Milano-Cortina Olympic Winter Games will take place in Waterville Valley, USA, featuring moguls on January 15 and dual moguls on January 16.

Double World Cup mogul gold for Australia in Finland

9/12/2025

 
Picture
NSWIS mogul skiers Jakara Anthony and Matt Graham have launched their Olympic campaign in perfect fashion, claiming a double gold medal overnight at the FIS World Cup in Ruka, Finland.
 
The achievement marks the second time Anthony and Graham have secured dual victories, having previously done so in Deer Valley in 2023, and only the third time in Australian history. Graham also shared the top of the podium with Britt Cox in Calgary back in 2017.
 
For Anthony, the win signals a triumphant return to World Cup competition, coming in just her second start since a collarbone injury in Sweden 12 months ago ending her 2024–2025 season early.
 
In the first round of finals, Anthony placed second with 78.54 points, before lifting her performance in the super-final medal round to score 79.89, securing her 24th career World Cup victory. She finished ahead of Americans Olivia Giaccio (78.64) and Jaelin Kauf (78.08).
 
Jindabyne 20-year-old Charlotte Wilson also impressed, making finals on both days in Ruka, finishing 13th today with 66.63 points and was 16th on day one after not being able to complete her fin in the final.
 
“It’s pretty special,” said the 27-year-old Anthony from Barwon Heads in Victoria.
 
“It’s probably nearly a year to the day of getting injured. I’ve been out since then, so this is a pretty special one.” 
 
She also made the super final a day earlier but ended in sixth place after not completing her run.
 
“Yesterday was a bummer, just didn’t quite nail that last one,” she said. “To get some redemption tonight is pretty special. Took a few learnings about how the course developed. Been a while since I skied a comp, so I had to remember that, and make those adjustments tonight.” 
 
In the men’s competition, Matt Graham bounced back from a near-podium finish on day one in fourth place to deliver one of the finest performances of his career on day two. Graham dominated all three phases to claim his fifth World Cup victory and first-ever gold in Ruka.
 
Graham topped the qualification round with 79.43 points, led the first final with 81.97, and sealed the gold in the super-final with 81.72 points. He finished ahead of Japan’s Ikuma Horishima, who scored 80.58, and Canada’s Julien Viel, who placed third with 79.30.
 
“It’s good to be putting down really good runs. The course was challenging, but really fun, and I’m just enjoying it,” said the 31-year-old Graham from the NSW Central Coast.
 
“To get a double gold with Jakara – it’s massive. We’re not a skiing nation. We’re a beach nation, so how the hell does this happen?” 
 
Also competing for Australia but missing finals were NSWIS teammates Jackson Harvey in 18th, Emma Bosco 20th with Cooper Woods and George Murphy unable to finish the course.

On the previous day Woods made finals in ninth, with Harvey 19th, Murphy 20th, Bosco 26th and Oliver Logan 26th, but was unable to compete on day two. 
 
The NSWIS team will remain in Ruka to continue training for a few more weeks, before the FIS World Cup tour shifts to North America in early January.

Graham wins courageous moguls bronze medal at St Moritz World Championships

22/3/2025

 
Picture
NSWIS skier Matt Graham has claimed Australia’s first medal at the 2025 FIS Freestyle and Snowboard World Championships, winning bronze in a courageous performance in the iconic Swiss resort St Moritz, where three of the top four men suffered heavy crashes in a wild semi-final round of championship mogul skiing.
 
Graham now has five World Championship medals in his remarkable career, the most of any Australian winter sports athlete, surpassing snowboarder Scotty James, who will be aiming to join Graham on five podiums next week in St Moritz.
 
The opening event at the World Championships was the single moguls, where Graham showed he was in strong form advancing through to the top-eight super final. Graham was in contention for a medal, but a mistake just before the finish line saw the 2018 Olympic medallist finish in fifth place. Joining Graham in finals was NSWIS teammate Cooper Woods in ninth, missing the super-final by one place, George Murphy 22nd and Jackson Harvey was 28th.
 
In her World Championship debut, Charlotte Wilson qualified for the eight-woman medal round super final and finished seventh in her World Championship debut. Also on debut and just missing the final cut for top 20 was Emma Bosco.
 
In the dual moguls competition, Graham advanced through the early rounds with a 19-16 victory over Sweden's Robin Olgaard in the round of 16, followed by a 23-12 win against Mateo Jeannesson of Great Britain in the quarter-finals.
 
In the first semi-final, Graham went head-to-head with legendary Canadian skier Mikael Kingsbury in a thrilling duel. Both athletes pushed themselves to the absolute limit, but just before the bottom jump, Graham lost a ski at high speed, causing him to cartwheel down the course. After this setback, Kingsbury advanced to the big final and Graham to the small final and the opportunity for the bronze medal.
 
The second semi-final saw Japan's Ikuma Hiroshima and Sweden's Filip Gravenfors both crash heavily across the finish line, Hiroshima was the skier to advance to the gold medal match up but was injured and unable to compete further.
 
In the small final, Graham's opponent Gravenfors pushed out of the start gate but could not continue due his semi-final crash, Graham completed the course in a solo run to claim the bronze medal, while Hiroshima's withdrawal from the final race off duel gave Kingsbury the gold medal.
 
“It was probably one of the hardest earned podiums of my career” said the 30-year-old Graham from the NSW Central Coast.
 
“After a big crash last week in Livigno and not knowing if I would be able to compete, to keep skiing the way I did today and get down the run, then having a big crash in the semi-final against Mikael rattled everything a little bit. Fortunately, I was able to ski to the bronze medal.”
 
“It’s a good way to cap off the season, it’s been long, lots of ups and downs, my third dual podium for the year is unreal, and also another “Dad Podium”, this time at the World Championships is pretty special with Ikuma and Mikael. I hope both Ikuma and Filip are ok from their crashes.”
 
“The course was challenging, it was icy at the start of the day, and consequently the top air landing and first five turns got trashed. On paper the course wasn’t that tricky but there were a few little technical elements to it.”
 
“Heading into the small-final I didn’t know what state Filip was in. He is a crazy duals skier, I was in a lot of pain myself and just wanted to get down the run and be in one piece, so I was just willing to ski my run and whatever happened, happened. I didn’t realise he was inured or sore, it wasn’t until I landed the top jump, and I couldn’t hear him or sense him that I knew I was in the clear, but I didn’t realise he pushed out and slipped his way down the course.”
 
“Our team is really close, they are my second family, also having my mum and dad here was special, it was a little bittersweet given the circumstances, and I was in shock to be honest when I crossed the line, so I broke down a little and got a bit emotional.”
 
Also competing for Australia in the final event of the moguls skiing competition season were Cooper Woods in eighth place, Charlotte Wilson 15th, Emma Bosco 17th, Jackson Harvey 18th and George Murphy 23rd.

Graham wins first medal of the season in duals

26/1/2025

 
Picture
Olympic medallist Matt Graham has skied to the 26th World Cup podium of his impressive career, following a silver medal performance in the dual moguls in Waterville Valley, USA.
 
Graham showed great form throughout the day, making his way through the earlier rounds with ease before winning difficult match ups against Frenchman Benjamin Cavet in the quarter finals 20 to 15, and a super close semi-final victory over Ikuma Horishima of Japan 18 to 17.
 
In the big final Graham faced legendary Canadian Mikael Kingsbury, and in a close duel right to the finish line Kingsbury prevailed 21 to 14, extending his record for the most ever wins for a freestyle skier to 94. Rounding out the podium in third place was Filip Gravenfors of Sweden who defeated Horishima for the bronze.
 
“It is nice to be on the podium for the first time this season” said the 30-year-old Graham from the NSW Central Coast.
 
“Duals is always a long challenging day, a lot of top-to-bottoms at crazy fast speeds, at the start of the day I was just happy to get through to the finals, and once they came around it was just full send from there.
 
“I have felt like all of the pieces have been there, but it just hasn’t stuck yet, making a few mistakes in the previous events, so it was nice to have some solid skiing today, especially this week after battling the flu and bedridden two days ago with chronic fevers and still feeling under the weather yesterday was pretty rewarding.”
 
Also in action were fellow NSWIS skiers  Oliver Logan in 27th, Cooper Woods 30th, Edward Hill 32nd, George Murphy 35th and women Charlotte Wilson 18th, Lottie Lodge 31st, Lucy Pernice 34th and Emma Bosco 35th.
 
Next weekend the mogul skiers compete at the World Cup event in Val St.Come, Canada, with moguls on February 1 and dual moguls February 2.

Fifth place super-final for Wilson

25/1/2025

 
Picture
