Canada Names Four for Olympic Ski Jumping With No Mixed Entry at Milano-Cortina

The selection concentrates Canada’s medal hopes on Abi Strate following her World Cup breakthrough.

Overview

  • Abi Strate, Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes, Natalie Eilers and Nicole Maurer were officially named to Canada’s ski jumping roster.
  • Canada will not enter the mixed-team event because Boyd-Clowes is the only male jumper who qualified.
  • Strate enters her second Games after winning her first World Cup event on Jan. 1 in Oberstdorf and adding two silvers this season.
  • World and world junior champion Alexandra Loutitt will miss the Olympics after a season-ending knee injury sustained at the Predazzo test event in September.
  • The four athletes are slated to compete in the individual normal-hill and large-hill competitions.
