Sport: Ski jumping

Age: 18

Hometown: Calgary, Alta.

Accomplishments:

  • 2012 Youth Olympic Winter Games Bronze Medallist in the mixed team event.
  • 2011 World Championship 18th place finish.

Interesting Fact: Henrich will always have her name in the history books as the first female Canadian to compete in ski jumping at an Olympic level, as she was the only female representing Canada at the 2012 Youth Olympic Winter Games.

Chances: With 8th being the highest finish of her career on the world stage Henrich is not a likely medal contender in Sochi.
