#76 : YOUNGEST AUSSIE WORLD CUP SKIER

This week we’re joined by Mia Rennie, Australia’s freestyle skiing prodigy and one of the youngest athletes ever to debut on the World Cup stage. Born in Penrith in 2003, Mia has represented Australia at the Youth Olympic Games, multiple World Championships, and international Big Air and Slopestyle events, all before turning 20.But Mia’s story goes far beyond the podium. From growing up in a sporty family with deep ties to cricket, to carving her own path in skiing from the age of 3, Mia’s journey is one of resilience, passion, and creativity. She opens up about:The rise: breaking records at World Juniors and on the World Cup stage.The setbacks: a full knee reconstruction before Beijing and what rehab taught her about identity, mental health, and patience.The pivot: Winter Olympics commentary, social storytelling, journalism, and public speaking.The mindset: chasing the “impossible,” building a strong support crew, and always kicking the sh*t out of Plan B.Mia also shares how she balances elite sport with creativity, purpose-driven work (including climate advocacy), and building a future beyond competition. At just 22, her perspective will fire you up.🎧 Now available on YouTube and Spotify.#ElevateWithMets #Podcast #MiaRennie #FreestyleSkiing #AthleteMindset #Resilience #Inspiration
