He is a four-time olympian, representing Australia at the 2014 Sochi,[2] 2018 Pyeongchang, 2022 Beijing and 2026 Milano Cortina editions of the games. He is a dual olympic medalist, earning silver in the 2018 moguls and bronze in the 2026 dual moguls disciplines. He has appeared in seven World Championship, earning three silver medals and two bronze medals. He has also appeared in 16 World Cup seasons, earning the Crystal Globe for overall moguls in the 2020–21 season.

Career

Graham joined the Perisher Winter Sports Club mogul program at the age of six and by 13 he was the youngest athlete in the New South Wales Institute of Sport program.[3] He first made his mark on the world stage as a 15-year-old, placing 27th in his debut in the final World Cup qualification event prior to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

In 2013, Graham participated in his first World Championships in Voss, Norway. He placed fourth in the final. He also finished seventh at the Sochi Olympic test World Cup event. At the Sochi Olympics in 2014, Graham placed seventh in the finals of the men's moguls.[4]

2020's

In a truncated 2020–21 season, Graham made three podiums, including a first place in the dual moguls at Idre Fjäll, and a second place (dual moguls) and third place (moguls) at Deer Valley, Utah in early February. These consistent podiums earned him the Crystal Globe in Overall Moguls for the season.[5]

In the 2022–23 season, Graham put together his most consistent run of results, securing five podium finishes for the season. His first podium of the season was a third place in Ruka, Sweden on 3 December 2022. He won the moguls event and came second in the dual moguls on 2 and 4 February, respectively at Deer Valley, Utah. He then finished third in both the moguls and the dual moguls on the 17th and 18 March 2022 at Almaty, Kazakhstan.[6]

2026 Winter Olympics

Having qualified for the 2026 Winter Olympics, Graham was unveiled as part of the 53-athlete strong Australian team in January by chef-de-mission, Alisa Camplin.[7] Graham was then announced as Australia's flag bearer alongside Jakara Anthony for the opening ceremony of the games.[8] He began his Olympic campaign in the men's moguls event. Wearing bib number 2, Graham qualified directly to the final with his first run. In the first final round, he qualified in third for the second final round. Despite being the fastest down the course, Graham posted a total of 80.88 to claim fifth position in the final round. Compatriot, Cooper Woods won the gold medal. Graham also competed in the men's dual moguls event. Graham defeated Taketo Nishizawa, Rasmus Stegfeldt and Charlie Mickel on route to the semifinals where he met Ikuma Horishima. Graham was defeated 14–21 in the semifinals to qualify for the bronze medal run. There he defeated Takuya Shimakawa 20–15 to claim the bronze medal. His medal secured the 'dad podium' alongside Hoishima and Mikaël Kingsbury. It was the fifth medal for the Australian team and the third in moguls.[9]

Personal life

Graham is a graduate of the Central Coast Grammar School, and he has maintained his ties with the school since graduating.[10] He is studying towards his Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) and Bachelor of Business at the University of Newcastle.[2]
