Alexa Brabec

18-year-old Alexa Brabec was a member of the first team of women to represent the United States in Nordic Combined at a World Championship event. She also competed in the 2020 Youth Olympics. One day, she hopes to compete at the Olympics on the world stage.

Brabec was then able to record a new Continental Cup personal best during the 2022/23 season, finishing 6th overall in the HS109/7.5km Continental Cup in Rena, Norway.

At the 2024 FIS Nordic Junior World Ski Championships, Brabec placed 2nd overall in the HS102/5km event, bringing home the first-ever medal in Women’s Nordic Combined for the United States at Junior World Championships. Brabec also finished 2nd overall in the Team Sprint HS102/2×4.5 event with Kai McKinnon, bringing home the first-ever medal in a Women’s Nordic Combined team event at Junior Worlds for the United States.
