Teenage sensations Indra Brown (16) and Maya Broadbent (13) have led Australia to a three‑medal haul at the FIS Freeski & Snowboard Junior World Championships in Calgary, Canada, with Brown claiming gold in the halfpipe and Broadbent securing bronze medals in both slopestyle and big air.
Following her outstanding fifth‑place finish in the halfpipe at the Milano–Cortina Olympic Winter Games, Brown added the Junior World Champion title to her rapidly growing list of achievements with a commanding gold‑medal performance. She also demonstrated her all‑round ability across the park and pipe disciplines, just finishing off the podium with fourth in slopestyle and fifth in big air.
Broadbent was the youngest competitor in both the slopestyle and big air fields, making her dual bronze‑medal performances even more impressive against older and more experienced competitors.
Also reaching finals for Australia in Calgary were skier Hugo Broadbent, who finished 15th in big air, and snowboarder James Garth, who placed ninth in slopestyle.
The next chapter in Brown’s remarkable debut season will see her head to Europe for her first World Cup starts in big air and slopestyle, with events scheduled in Tignes, France, on March 19 and 20.
Brown currently leads the FIS World Cup halfpipe standings and sits atop the overall FIS Freeski Park & Pipe World Cup rankings, following three podium finishes in her rookie World Cup season.
