Victoria Pendergast 

Victoria was spotted on the slopes by officials from Disabled Wintersports Australia during a family ski holiday. This led to her participation in their Athlete Development program. She embraced hurtling down a mountain at 80km/h in a sit ski.

She made her international debut in 2010. By February 2014, she was ranked 12^th in the world in downhill and giant slalom, and 13^th in slalom and super G.

Victoria became Australia’s first female sit skier at the Winter Paralympics at Sochi. She competed in two events, finishing 7^th in the slalom and 10^th in the Giant Slalom.

At the 2015 World Championships, she finished 6^th in the Slalom.

At her second Paralympics at PyeongChang, Victoria finished 4^th in the downhill and 8^th in the giant slalom.

She announced her retirement from skiing in 2020.
