Listen "Episode 453 - Abbey Willcox Interview"
Episode Synopsis
History was made last month in Australian winter sport when for the first ever time at a World Cup, Australia swept a podium in the women's freestyle skiing aerials at Deer Valley. In fact it wasn't just a podium sweep for Australia, with the top four places all belonging to athletes wearing the green and gold. Finishing third in that event was Abbey Willcox, who secured her third career World Cup podium in the process, and today joins us on the show to talk about that moment and her extraordinary career in the sport of freestyle skiing. We find out from Abbey just what that moment not only meant for her, but what it means for the entire winter sports community in Australia in the lead up to the 2026 Winter Olympics. We also find out just what it means for her push towards a potential Olympic debut in Milano Cortina and what it would mean to her to reach that goal after the heartbreak of not making the team in 2022. Added to this we find out just how she is now using the love of the sport to drive her in her career, which teammate she thinks would be perfect on reality TV and which 1990s banger is always on her playlist ahead of each competition. It's an incredible chat with Abbey that you won't want to miss!
