My name is Duncan Cowan, I am 18 years old and I am and currently the No 1 ranked 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 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.

Please join me in supporting my Ski Cross Project and help a young Australian athlete compete at the highest level in the world in this exhilarating winter sport.
