Hello! I'm Tuva Bygrave, an Australian cross-country skier.

Skiing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My dad skied for Australia back in the day, and both my parents passed down their passion for the sport. I grew up bouncing (and skiing) between the snowy woods of Norway and the mountains of Australia, two completely different worlds, but both shaped who I am as an athlete today. After four years of skiing and studying in Alaska, I’m now based in Norway, training and working on my Master of Law.

Over the past few years, I’ve been proud to represent Australia at two World Championships, two U23 World Championships, and several World Cups. One of the biggest highlights came this past season, when I was part of our women's relay team at World Champs — and we finished 12th, Australia’s best result ever.

Now, I’m working toward making more history — this time at the Olympics. My dream is to help Australia crack the top 10 in the relay at Milan-Cortina 2026.

But getting there isn’t simple. Cross-country skiing receives very limited funding, so I cover most of it out of pocket: travel, training camps, equipment, wax support, coaching, you name it.

If you feel like getting behind this story, I’d be incredibly grateful. Your support will directly contribute to the season ahead, helping me push towards my goal, and hopefully inspire a few more Aussies to give this sport a crack.

Thanks for reading and being part of the journey.

Tuva :)
