Australia’s rising skiing star Indra Brown has delivered another extraordinary performance in her meteoric debut season, winning the silver medal in the women’s ski halfpipe at the X Games in Aspen, USA. At just 15 years old, the Melbourne teenager becomes the youngest ski halfpipe medallist in X Games history.
The result comes less than 24 hours after Brown was officially named the youngest athlete selected to represent Australia at the upcoming Milano‑Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
Showing composure beyond her years under lights in front of a large crowd, Brown improved across all three runs, opening with a strong 80.00, lifting to 88.33 in run two, and sealing the silver with an impressive 90.00 in her final run.
Great Britain’s Zoe Atkin claimed gold with 94.66, while Canada’s Cassie Sharpe secured bronze with a score of 87.00.
Brown now heads toward the Olympic Games in exceptional form, sitting atop the World Cup standings following the best debut season ever recorded by an Australian winter sports athlete, with results of third, second, first and fourth from her first four World Cup starts and only one Word Cup event remaining to decide who will win the Crystal Globe as World Cup Champion.
