2025 Alpine Junior World Ski Championships Team Announcement
Published Fri 21 Feb 2025
The National Alpine Committee is excited to confirm the 2025 World Juniors Team for Alpine in Tarvisio, Italy.
Phoebe Heaydon (Giant Slalom, Slalom) heads into her second World Junior Championships having last week made her World Championships debut in Saalbach, Austria. The 19-year-old scored a 26th in Slalom two years ago in St Anton and has already shown promising form in North America and Europe this season.
Teammates from last year in St Jean d'Aulps, France, Pia Bruce and Abbey Evans are the other athletes returning to the Junior World Championships for a second time.
Chiara Schoerghofer has raced predominantly in Austria and has been selected to race Super G alongside Evans.
Two male athletes have been selected to race the technical disciplines, both competing at World Juniors for the first time.
Harry Hoffman has competed largely in Nor-Am Cup and University events this season and will be joined in Giant Slalom and Slalom by Felix Sachs, who has been earning his best FIS points results in recent months.
"This team is well-represented across many disciplines with experienced athletes and some first-time competitors," said Shawn Fleming, Snow Australia Alpine Director. "I look forward to having the opportunity to cheer on these athletes and hope they all can walk away satisfied of putting forth their best effort.
"Phoebe Heaydon will be competing in Tarvisio fresh off her GS and SL starts at the Alpine World Championships in Saalbach AUT only one week ago. Hopefully the experience she gained over the course of that event will help her ability to perform at this World Junior Championships."
The 44th FIS Alpine Junior World Ski Championships commence in Tarvisio, Italy next week with Abbey Evans and Chiara Schoerghofer starting Australia's campaign next Friday in the Women's Super G.
