Kiara (Kiki) Alexander

Biography

Kiki Alexander is set to make her Olympic debut at Milano Cortina 2026.

Alexander enjoyed a breakout season in 2021-22. She reached the podium four times on the Nor-Am Cup circuit, including her first two career victories. She ended the season ranked fourth in the overall Nor-Am Cup standings and second in the slalom standings.

Alexander made her FIS World Cup debut in January 2022 and that March competed at the 2022 FIS Junior World Championships where she placed 11th in the alpine combined and 19th in the super-G.

But just as her career looked to be taking off, she suffered a severe knee injury in December 2022 when she crashed during giant slalom training in Italy. She tore an ACL and lateral meniscus and fractured the femoral condyle at the bottom of her femur. After the initial surgery to repair the damage, she underwent a second operation in June 2023 to clean up the scar tissue. She began skiing again in December 2023 and finally returned to competition in November 2024 after nearly two years away.

Alexander earned her first World Cup points in December 2025 when she finished 24th in the slalom in Semmering, Austria.

As of January 2026, she has seven career Nor-Am Cup victories among her 12 podiums on the circuit. She finished the 2024-25 season ranked second in the slalom standings, earning her a spot on the World Cup team for 2025-26.
