Mount Beauty skier Britt Cox has become the first Australian woman to win the mogul World Cup title.

The former Scots School Albury student has enjoyed a stellar season with six World Cup wins with two events remaining.

It is a sterling result for Cox, 22, and reward for great dedication.

"Mogul skiing has been my passion ever since I was a little kid,” Cox said after her weekend World Cup win in Japan. 

“I live and breathe moguls, so to find out….that I have won the crystal globe for mogul skiing feels incredible."

The significance of Cox’s deed is clear in the comment of Australia’s top mogul skiing coach Steve Desovich  who described it as “a very monumental achievement and so well deserved".

He added: "Ultimately only the very best are able to stay consistent throughout a whole season and emerge victorious."

The only other Australian to have savoured as much success in moguls skiing is Dale Begg-Smith who had six World Cup victories in 2006, the same year he won gold at the Winter Olympics.

Cox has already been to two Olympic Games, the first as a 15 year-old when they were held in Canada.

But before the 2016-17 ski season she had never won a World Cup event or competed in South Korea, the venue for next year’s Winter Olympics.

That did not prove insurmountable, at an Olympic test event at Pyeongchang earlier this month she claimed gold.

Following that triumph, Cox reflected on the professional support she receives, including strength and conditioning trainers, and how that has lifted her.

"To be successful consistently you have to be really good at the basics and fundamentals and the coaches have really drilled it in to me," she said.

"That takes time and that takes patience. It's not something you can learn overnight. I have been in the World Cup since 2010 now and it has taken that amount of time."

With less than a year to the Winter Olympics, Cox’s emergence as a standout performer could not have been better timed.

We wish her well for the world championships to complete her season and there’s no reason not to think she will be a favourite for the Olympic gold medal in moguls. 

Bring on Pyeongchang 2018.
