Aussie Ski Phenom Misses Out on Last-Day Olympic Dream
The 16-year-old Australian landed the only 1080 spins, finishing fifth and just 5.5 points shy of a medal at the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics.
- Landing a competition 1080 on her final run, Indra Brown finished fifth with an 87.00 score at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Games.
- Months earlier, with limited senior starts, Indra Brown rose quickly after four World Cup outings, three podiums, and an X Games silver that secured Olympic qualification.
- After posting 56.50 in her first run, the competition judges awarded her 65.00 despite improvements, with commentators noting lower amplitude affected her scores.
- The performance positions Brown as a major new talent for Australia's Winter Olympic team, with her fifth place being the best by an Australian teenager since 2018 and she said, 'We just gave each other a big hug', Brown said.
- She had been due to fly to Calgary for junior worlds but the Olympic final took precedence, highlighting Brown's accelerated path from Livigno to senior competition.
