17-year-old NZ ski racer Alice Robinson stunned the ski racing world last season with a string of impressive results including NZ's first World Cup medal in 17 years at the final of the FIS Alpine World Cup Tour. Alice finished in the silver medal position just 0.30s behind world number one Mikaela Shiffrin.
