Alexa Brabec (born October 8, 2004) is an American skier who competes in Nordic combined.[1]
Brabec was born on October 8, 2004. She is from Steamboat Springs, Colorado.[1] She grew up skiing for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club.[2]
Brabec was named to the first team of women to represent the United States in Nordic Combined at a World Championship event,[1]
In 2020, Brabec competed at the Youth Olympic Games, which was the first time women's Nordic Combined was included in the competition.[1][3][4]
Brabec was a member of the U.S. World Championship team in 2021 and 2023.[1]
In 2024, Brabec placed second overall in the HS102/5 km event at the Nordic Junior World Ski Championships, winning the first-ever medal in Women's Nordic Combined for the United States at the Junior World Championships. She also placed second over all in the Team Sprint HS102/2×4.5 event with Kai McKinnon, similarly winning the United States's first medal in a Women's Nordic Combined team event.[1]
As Nordic combined is the only Winter Olympic sport without a women's competition, Brabec's family, particularly her mother, who is a lawyer, advocates for gender equity in the sport.[2][5]
