Alisa captivated the world and made history in 2002 when she became Australia's first female Winter Olympic gold medallist. At the recent Torino 2006 Olympic Games Alisa overcame injury and a limited preparation to carry the flag for Australia at the Opening Ceremony and defy the odds to claim a stunning bronze medal, becoming the first person in history to win back to back Olympic aerial medals.
Alisa is 2003 World Champion and 2003-2005 World Record holder and two times World Cup Grand Prix Champion.
There is only one other woman in the history of the sport who has held the three titles (Olympic, World and World Cup Grand Prix) at once and she is only the third woman in freestyle skiing history to claim seven victories in the one season. Alisa won the 2002 Female Sportswoman Of The Year Award and the 2002 Don Award.
Alisa commentated on the Gymnastics & Diving at the Athens Olympics & World Aerials at Mt Buller in 2004.
She was a judge on Nine's Torvill & Dean's Dance on Ice series in 2006 & was recently part of the PM's 2020 Summit in the Health category.
