Malcolm Milne is a former Australian Olympic skier. In 1968, at the age of 19, Malcolm competed in his first Olympics at Grenoble, France. In an era dominated by Jean-Claude Killy, Malcolm finished twenty-fourth of eighty-six starters, with a time only 5.51 seconds behind Killy. This was by far the best Australian skiing result in any Games to that point. In December 1969, Malcolm Milne became the first Australian skier to win a World Cup victory when he won the downhill in Val d Isère. Three months later, he captured the bronze medal at Gröden-Val Gardena. His World Cup victory at Val d'Isere also made him the first non-European to win a men's World Cup downhill event, a feat that is often attributed by Canadians to Ken Read for his victory on the same course in 1975. Milne later joined a French team in Europe, and in the winter of 1971-72 won a World Cup race at Val D Isere, France, then won a United States title race at Bear Valley, California; he also finished third in a World Championships. He was expected to do well at the Olympics at Sapporo, Japan, in 1972, but suffered a cartilage injury to his left knee which threatened to cause him to withdraw.
