BIOGRAPHY

Seve de Campo's journey into cross-country skiing began at the Interschools level at Mt Buller.

Encouraged by his father, he switched disciplines from alpine to cross country, and quickly developed a passion for the sport’s rhythm and endurance, describing the experience as a “flow-like state” that captivated him from the start.

De Campo made his first major international appearance at the 2017 FIS World Junior Championships in the USA, followed by further junior and U23 World Championship campaigns in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

His senior breakthrough came at the 2021 World Championships in Oberstdorf, where he achieved a 17th place finish in the team sprint.

At the Beijing 2022 Olympics, Seve competed in five events, with his best individual result being 51st in the gruelling 50km mass start free, which was shortened to 30km due to extreme conditions. He also paired with Phil Bellingham in the team sprint, finishing 22nd.

Since then, de Campo has continued to progress on the World Cup circuit and at World Championships. His personal bests include 45th in the 10km mass start free at Val di Fiemme in 2025 and 50th in the 50km mass start free at the Trondheim World Championships the same year.

He has also contributed to Australia’s best relay performances in decades, including a 16th place in the mixed relay in Goms in 2024.

De Campo trains out of Lillehammer, Norway, and has completed a double degree in Engineering (Honours) and Commerce at the Australian National University, balancing his academic pursuits with elite sport. His younger brother Fedele also skis for Australia competing in World Cup and World Championship events.

He will be aiming to represent Australia at his second Olympic Winter Games in Milano-Cortina in 2026.
