Singaporean alpine skier Faiz Basha is poised to make history as the Republic’s first snow sport athlete at the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics (Feb 6-22, 2026). With a mean FIS points score of 106.59, the 23-year-old was already qualified in slalom and giant slalom because the points exceeded the 120-point mark. Basha, who has survived a threatening tear of the intestine during youth competitions, and postponed years of service in the military, encourages: “Never give up on what you love to do in life. His second exercise after Cheyenne Goh (2018), he led Southeast Asians (12th) in 2025 Asian Winter Games and FINALS at FIS Worlds. The tropical Singapore is inspired by his perseverance.
Faiz Basha started skiing at age three in Switzerland due to his diplomat father’s posting. Crash and NS failures were a challenge to him and FIS and Asian games wins in 2025 got him the ticket.
Balancing patience with high-speed descents (up to 140km/h), Faiz Basha credits holistic growth. He glances at good performances in the Alps of Italy.
“Keep chasing your passions,” says Faiz Basha, emphasizing persistence in long-term pursuits like skiing.
