Biathlon | Cross-country skiing: eight Australians at the 2026 Olympic Games
On Friday, the Australian Olympic Committee announced the list of athletes selected for the 2026 Olympic Games in Milan/Cortina. After winning a quota for her country thanks to IBU qualification points, biathlete Darcie Morton has logically been selected for her first Olympic Games… 20 years after her father competed at Turin 2006.
No fewer than seven cross-country skiers took part. The Australian group is led by Rosie Fordham with Seve de Campo, Lars Young Vik, Hugo Hinckfuss, Ellen Soehol Lie, Phoebe Cridland and Maddie Hooker in her wake.
Philip Bellingham, a three-time Olympian in cross-country skiing, has this time been selected for the ski-mountaineering event.
