Australia's best medal chances at Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games

It's fair to say that Australia might not be synonymous with winter sports.

But Aussies have punched well above their weight at Winter Olympics, bringing home 15 medals, five of them gold, including three in each of the last three Games.

Australia has named a 44-strong team of athletes for Beijing, all of whom will be giving everything to add their name to that honour roll.

There are, though, a select handful of athletes who have been in excellent form across the World Cup circuit this season.

Here are the Australians with a chance of medalling at Beijing 2022.

Jakara Anthony has had a supreme season in 2021/22.

Anthony sits in third spot on the moguls list this World Cup season, having recorded six podiums, including a first-place finish on Alpe d'Huez before Christmas.

In truth, though, she has been growing in stature and belief since finishing in fourth at the last Games in PyeongChang.

Anthony has stood on the World Cup podium 17 times since South Korea, with the Cairns-born, Melbourne-based star saving her most consistently brilliant season for the build-up to Beijing, where it could be a toss-up as to which of the best contenders can win out.

Major rivals: This year's moguls World Cup has been a battle between the three top skiers in the world. 

Japan's Anri Kawamura leads the overall standings and will be tough to beat. So, too, is France's reigning Olympic champion, Perrine Laffont, who is second in the rankings.

Anthony's Australian teammates, Sophie Ash, Taylah O'Neill and Britt Cox,will also be competing at the Games.

When will she be competing? The qualifying run takes place on February 3, with the final on February 6. 

Matt Graham is already on the Australian Olympic honour roll as a silver medallist from PyeongChang.
