Indra Brown Scores Silver on X Games Debut as Aussies Shine in Aspen

Australian freeski halfpipe rising star Indra Brown's incredible season continues with a silver medal at the X Games in Aspen, her first appearance at the prestigious event and the latest podium in a stunning debut campaign.

The 15-year-old delivered a standout superpipe run, mixing big hits and technical tricks to score 90.00, finishing second behind Britain’s Zoe Atkin, who claimed gold, and ahead of Canadian veteran Cassie Sharpe, who took bronze. On a day of tricky snow conditions, Brown thrilled the crowd by throwing back-to-back 900s, a 720, switch 360s and a big alley-oop in her runs.

Brown’s silver medal extends an already remarkable season: she has now finished on the podium in four of her five major events this year, including multiple World Cup podiums and her first World Cup victory. With the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games just weeks away, Brown’s form continues to build momentum.
