Alise Rose Willoughby (née Post, born January 17, 1991) is an American professional "Current School" BMX racing racer who has been racing competitively since 2002. She uses the moniker "The Beast".
Originally a state-champion gymnast, Willoughby began racing at the age of six, after watching her older brothers race.
She turned professional in 2006, at the age of 15. Her first professional race result came in April, when she placed third at the American Bicycle Association Winter Nationals. Her first professional win came just one month later, when she won the ABA Super Nationals. She was voted 2006 Rookie Pro of the Year by the readers of BMXer magazine, becoming the first female to win the title. She was also the youngest female to hold the National No.1 Pro Women's title, one of the youngest BMX racers to turn pro, one of the youngest to hold a pro title, and the first female to earn all three Girls division classifications.
In 2008, BMX Racing was added to the Olympics, but the 19 years age minimum meant Willoughby, age 17, was unable to compete.
Willoughby would go on to make her Olympic Debut at the 2012 Summer Olympics, after recovering from surgery for LCL, knee and hamstring reconstruction. She placed 12th after a crash in the semi-final.
Willoughby entered the 2020 Summer Olympics (held in 2021) as a reigning world champion and 2016 silver medalist but suffered a hearbreaking crash and did not qualify for the final.
