As Australia’s first female Winter Olympic Gold medallist, Alisa stunned the world at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, winning gold in aerial skiing despite competing with fractured ankles.

She has also been inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame, a testament to her enduring impact on and off the field.
