Australia completes remarkable clean sweep of aerials podium at FIS Freestyle World Cup event in Deer Valley
Australia's freestyle skiers have put the world on notice less than a year out from the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, completing a stunning clean sweep of the podium at the FIS aerials World Cup event in Deer Valley, USA.
Veteran Olympians Laura Peel and Danielle Scott won gold and silver, while rising star Abbey Willcox claimed bronze in tough, snowy conditions at the Utah resort.
It is the first time in history that Australian skiers have swept the podium in a FIS Freestyle World Cup skiing event.
No one nation has swept a World Cup aerials podium since China's Xu Mengtao, Shao Qi and Xu Nuo did at Lake Placid in 2019.
Peel completed her third World Cup victory in a row and 12th overall following her double last week at Lac Beauport to extend her lead at the top of the overall World Cup standings.

Recent warm weather has been a concern for the race crews preparing the moguls course on the Champion ski run and the four aerial jumps that launch skiers down the White Owl run. No matter what lies ahead, Resort spokesperson Emily Summers said the course is ready to go.
“We are in the business of weather, and we are pros at responding to whatever Mother Nature throws at us,” Summers said. “Twenty-seven years of hosting these international competitions. Most of the course builders and the volunteers have been here that long, working on it, and so we just adapt, and the courses are ready.”
She said new lighting on Champion with brighter LED bulbs will make a difference for both spectators and competitors.
Moguls open the three-day event. Timing for the qualification runs varies each day but the finals start nightly at 7:30 p.m. with awards presented at the finish area just before 9 p.m. The aerials are Friday and dual moguls on Saturday night.
Summers said the best way to get there is to take a bus; they will be given priority on the roads.
