My name is Duncan Cowan, I am 18 years old and I am and currently the No 1 FIS ranked Alpine Ski Cross athlete in Australia.

In January 2024, I represented Australia at the Youth Winter Olympic games in Gangwon, South Korea. At the games I was honoured to be the Australian team's flag bearer at the Youth Winter Olympic games opening ceremony.

With wins in the first 5 races of 2025 I am the first Australian to win the overall championship for the North American cup for USA and Canada.

I have also just returned from the Junior World Championships in France where I finished in 9th position , I have two more years in that competition.

Athletes across Australia face a common challenge: securing the funds needed to compete at their best. Through the Australian Sports Foundation, your contribution is tax deductible and will directly support my journey to be successful on the world stage.

Please join me in supporting my Ski Cross Project and help me compete at the highest level in the world.

Ski Cross is a thrilling, fast-paced discipline that demands skill, strength, and courage as athletes race down challenging courses featuring jumps, rollers, and tight turns.

Funds raised will provide essential resources, including coaching, training , equipment, and travel to and accommodation at International competitions. These things are vital for developing my skills and competing on the global stage and directly help me reach my potential by giving me the tools I need to excel, your support really does make all the difference.

Every contribution, big or small, brings me closer to achieving my goals.

In 2025 my goals were to win the North American Championships in the USA and Canada and achieve a top 10 result at World Junior Championships in France. Both goals were achieved with amazing support behind me.

In late 2025 and early 2026, my goals are the Europa Cup races, World Cup races and to qualify for the the Winter Olympics in Cortina Italy. This is a big goal and I believe its achievable.

Thank you for being part of this exciting journey!
