PREDAZZO – Calgary ski jumper Abigail Strate finished 11th in the women’s normal hill competition on Saturday at the Milan Cortina Olympics.
Strate was 12th after scoring 122.7 points on her first jump and moved up a spot with 117.7 on her second attempt to give her a combined score of 240.4.
Anna Odine Strøm of Norway won gold with a combined score of 267.3, followed by Nika Prevc of Slovenia (266.2) and Nozomi Maruyama of Japan (261.8).
“A bit of a disappointment today but knowing that from friends and family to run too, slowly it will bring me back to earth,” said Strate.
Strate was part of the team that won Canada’s first Olympic ski jumping medal with a bronze in the mixed event at the 2022 Beijing Games.
Canada is not fielding a mixed team at the Milan Cortina Olympics.
Strate next competes in the women’s large hill event, which is making its Olympic debut. She won five of her six World Cup medals this season in large hill, including a gold on Jan. 1 in Germany.
Large hill training starts Feb. 12, with the competition set for Feb. 15.
“I’m obviously really grateful to have that second chance on the large hill at these Olympics,” added Strate. “I think I can jump even better on the large hill. Hopefully, I can refocus and get ready to jump well there. I have a little bit of redemption to chase now.”
