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.”
