Australian women are making history at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, securing three of the nation’s six medals and powering the national team’s record-breaking run.
Australia’s three gold, two silver and one bronze medals have been won in freestyle skiing and snowboarding events. Aussie women have been smashing it, winning two of Australia’s three golds in Milano Cortina.
Six medals is Australia’s best-ever result at a Winter Olympics, coming in ahead of the recent Beijing Games, which saw Australia collect four medals. And there’s still more to come.
Below, we break down the women who’ve contributed to Australia’s medal tally.
Jakara Anthony
Jakara Anthony won gold in the women’s freestyle ski dual moguls. The win saw her make history, becoming the first Australian Winter Olympian to win two gold medals in their career. She previously won gold in Beijing.
Josie Baff
23-year-old Josie Baff won her first Olympic medal in the women’s snowboard cross, claiming gold. She is the eighth Australian to win a Winter Olympics gold.
Danielle Scott
Four-time Olympian and freestyle skier Danielle Scott claimed her first Olympic medal, winning silver in the aerials.
Scott described it as the best moment of her life and spoke of the highs and lows she’s experienced over the years to get there. Just last month, Scott had told her family and friends to cancel their flights to Italy because she had been disappointed with her form in the weeks leading up to the Games.
“To finally have this around my neck, I mean, it’s taken four Olympics and it’s been an incredible ride of frustration, a lot of highs, a lot of lows, but today, I just put my heart out there,” she said.
“I left everything out there. I jumped the way I wanted to, so this just means everything.”
Scott’s medal came 24 years to the day after Alisa Camplin became Australia’s first Winter Olympics female gold medallist.
Cooper Woods, Scotty James and Matt Graham have also won medals for Australia in Milano Cortina.
