Alexandra Nekvapilová, also known as Sasha Nekvapil (5 October 1919 – 10 June 2014), was a Czech alpine skier who competed in the 1948 Winter Olympics.[1] Along with her husband Karel and brother, fellow Olympic skier Frank Prihoda, she defected from Czechoslovakia in 1948 and emigrated to Australia. There they started one of the first ski-lodge businesses in Thredbo, New South Wales.[2]
