Reining mogul skiing Olympic and World Cup champion Jakara Anthony is on her way home to Australia following an injury during training in Sweden.

After a record breaking 2023-2024 season where Anthony had the most successful season ever by a mogul skier with 14 gold medals and a bronze from 16 starts, Anthony continued her form into the new season with back-to-back medals.

She also set a new Australian record for most career World Cup podiums, and secured her 23rd victory in the single moguls the day before the injury.

Anthony’s manager Julia Brunker confirmed Anthony has already undergone surgery.

“Jakara sustained an injury during World Cup training in Idre Fjall that will rule her out of the upcoming event in Georgia,” said Brunker. “She has had surgery on her collarbone in Oslo and will travel to Australia to commence her rehab.”

Geoff Lipshut, the CEO of the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia (OWIA) said that despite the setback Anthony had remained upbeat and positive.

“Jakara had a great start to the winter. This training accident is unfortunate, but Jakara is very positive, looks forward to coming home and then working on her rehabilitation plan in Australia.”

Anthony will consult with medical and training staff in the next week, before deciding on next steps and recovery plan.
