Oscar Burnham: The Power of Paralympic Dreams

Show notes

Oscar Burnham is one of the world’s top standing male skiers on the Para Alpine World Cup circuit - and his journey is as remarkable as his results. In this episode of Hidden Champions, host Dani Aravich sits down with Oscar Burnham, who was born in Italy, competes for Team France, and grew up carving turns in the French Alps. With six World Cup medals and a World Championships podium to his name, Oscar opens up about his life on the road, the thrill of racing at home, and the tight-knit friendships that shape the sport.

But Oscar Burnham’s story goes even deeper: after a life-altering accident as a teen, he re-learned his sport and discovered the power and opportunity of the Paralympic movement - with inspiration from legendary athletes before him. This episode is an honest, uplifting look at how Oscar turned adversity into achievement, what motivates him on and off the slopes, and why visibility and representation in para sport matter more than ever.
