This is something that is invaluable at such a time of uncertainty. Her life changed when she attended a Melbourne trampoline demonstration in , at a time when Geoff Lipshut, later chief of the Olympic Winter Institute, was trying to identify potential talent for the new sport of aerial freestyle skiing. The idea was to turn gymnasts into aerial skiers. She did well, was recruited, and delivered pizzas and worked as a cleaner to raise enough money to ski.
Camplin's passage to the Olympics involved seven years of hard labour, with a procession of increasingly difficult somersaults and some awful accidents. She broke her collarbone and a hand, separated her shoulder, dislocated her sternum twice, ripped her hip flexor out of her groin, broke both ankles, tore her right knee and cracked 12 ribs.
The move was short-lived as good coaches were hard to come by. In the summer of , having completed her secondary studies, Camplin began sailing Hobie Cat catamarans with her best friend Kynwynn Jones. The girls crewed together in at the Port Stephens National Championships and finished second. When Sydney was announced as Host City for the Olympic Games, Camplin received a call from her old athletics coach, asking if she would be prepared to train with a view to competing in the marathon.
She duly began to train but remembers 'my heart was not one hundred per cent in it'. In - a fateful year - she attended a ski show in Melbourne with her then boyfriend, Patrick Mollison.
A trampoline had been set up by Mt Buller's freestyle skiing program, Team Buller, and members of the audience were invited to try aerial manoeuvres in the trampoline harness. Camplin's acrobatic skills were well honed.
Encouraged by her friends, she 'got in the rig and flipped around a bit'. Camplin's dream was still very much alive, and after some consideration, she took up the offer with the sole aim of making it to the Olympic Games. What followed was a long, hard slog. Camplin had been awarded an academic scholarship and entry into Swinburne University's Bachelor of Information Technology degree, and she was determined to pursue her studies.
Camplin was soon struck with a seriousand extensive injury that included a snapped anterior cruciate ligament ACL after her gold medal victory, sidelining her for 10 months.
A further 2 years later, Camplin re-tore the same ligament only months out from her title defenceat the Winter Games in Torino. Despite her colossal setback, Alisa defied all expectations and received a bronze medal in Torino, becoming the first Australian ever to win successive medals over two games. Since retiring from the professionalsport, Alisa has pursued a career in several industries.
