Cameron, the eldest of the Alexander brothers, is determined to succeed. “Cam,” as his friends and teammates call him, has dealt with challenging injuries throughout his career, but it hasn’t stopped him from achieving excellence.
The North Vancouver, B.C. native captured his first World Cup win in 2021-22, topping the podium in the downhill in Kvitfjell, NOR, after missing out on the Beijing 2022 Olympic squad, earning Canada’s first gold in downhill since Erik Guay won on the same slope in 2014. In 2022-23, he continued his strong form, winning a downhill bronze medal at the 2023 World Championships in Courchevel-Méribel, FRA.
Yet the 2023-24 season saw him hit a new level, again finding downhill success in Kvitfjell with a third-place finish while adding a downhill bronze in Bormio, ITA. While just off the podium, the 27-year-old cracked the top five in Kitzbuehel’s downhill and Kvitfjell’s super-G last season.
Much of his success has come after he suffered an injury in Val-d'Isère, FRA, in December 2020, which kept him out of action for the rest of the 2020-21 season. Having linked together a couple of strong seasons, the 1997-born speed specialist will aim for further podium finishes on the World Cup circuit in 2024-25.
