Congratulations to Kirstie Marshall on her election to the Victorian State Parliament over the weekend. Kirstie will represent the state Lower House seat of Forest Hill.

Kirstie, who until recently was a Director of the OWI, is cemented in winter sport history as the first Australian skier to win a World Championship and a World Cup Globe, and has an incredible 40 World Cup medals, including 17 wins.

As the only World Champion skier to be elected to Parliament, another first for Kirstie!
