Cameron Rahles-Rahbula’s interest in skiing began when he attended a Challenge weekend ski camp in Mt Buller.

Cameron’s first breakthrough performance came at the National Championships at Mt Hotham in 2001 when he came second to Paralympic gold medallist Michael Milton in the slalom. Cameron was later named in the 2006 shadow Paralympic squad, and when he made international qualification at a European Cup in Austria, won a place in the 2006 Paralympic Team for the Torino Games.

Cameron’s greatest results came at the 2004 World Cup where he won gold in the downhill and super G events and silver in the slalom. At the 2007 World Cup, he won silver in the super G and is now training hard for medals in all of his events in Vancouver.

In 2009, Cameron showed why he is considered among Australia’s strongest medal hopes, when he became a World Champion with victory in the Slalom at the IPC World Championships in Korea. Less than a month later, he picked up gold medals in both the Super G and Super Combined at the IPC World Cup Finals in Canada.

Cameron is a physiotherapist and hopes to one day work at the AIS or the Geelong Football Club. He is a keen AFL supporter and sportsman and participates in cricket, tennis, table tennis, swimming, cycling and shooting.
