Frisco teen, Walker Robinson, is in the process of chasing a lifelong dream of qualifying for the Olympics.

In the lead up to the Winter Games in February, Robinson will be competing in three World-Cup ski-cross races with each one serving as a crucial step towards earning a sport on the U.S. Olympic team.

According to Robinson, the ski-cross races are not only physically and mentally demanding on his body, but they also make a significant impact on his wallet. For this reason, Robinson, 19, has started a GoFundMe in hopes of raising the finds necessary to compete in the World-Cup events.



All of the funds donated will go to training expenses such as coaching, equipment and facilities, travel costs to international competitions, entry fees for World Cups and accommodation and meals while overseas.

Every donation helps Robinson get one step closer to his dream of becoming an Olympian. Back in 2024, Robinson earned a silver medal at the Youth Olympic Games in Gangwon, South Korea. Robinson earned a medal in the mixed-team ski cross race alongside Morgan Shute.



Robinson is hoping to lean on his experience at the international stage as he competes in World Cups throughout the 2025-26 season. As of Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 4, the GoFundMe has received $3,688. To donate to the campaign, visit GoFundMe.com.
