2022 Australia Day Awards winner - Sporting Achievement of the Year (Joint) Individual -Chloe Covell

The task of choosing this year’s winner proved very difficult for the committee, who couldn’t separate the achievements of 2 outstanding young athletes. The other winner of the Sporting Achievement of the Year – Individual Award is 12-year-old skater, Chloe Covell. This impressive young street skateboarder is well on her way to qualifying for the Paris 2024 Olympics, after being placed 7th overall while representing Australia at the qualifying event in Rome. In 2022 she competed at the open women’s level at XGames Japan, where she received a bronze medal and XGames USA, scoring a silver medal. These medals make Chloe the youngest XGames athlete to achieve 2 medals before the age of 13. Chloe is a role model for female athletes and shows you can succeed through hard work, dedication and commitment.
