Natalie Wilkie (born 21 January 2001) is a Canadian Paralympic cross-country skier. As the youngest member of Team Canada at the 2018 Winter Paralympic Games, Wilkie won gold, silver, and bronze medals at the PyeongChang, South Korea games.[1]

Biography

Wilkie began training and competing in able-bodied cross-country skiing when she was 4 years old, growing up near the Larch Hills Cross Country Ski Area near Salmon Arm, BC, Canada.

In June 2016, as a Grade 9 student at Salmon Arm Secondary School, Wilkie lost four fingers on her left hand in an accident involving a jointer during a school woodworking class. She resumed training with her able-bodied ski club only two weeks after the accident.[2]

Wilkie was introduced to para cross-country skiing at a camp in Canmore, Alberta in November 2016. Today, she competes nationally in Canada in both Paralympic cross-country skiing using a single ski pole and in able-bodied cross-country skiing using two ski poles.

Wilkie was designated the “CTV Athlete of the Week” on December 18, 2017.[3]

In February 2018, Wilkie was selected as the youngest member of the PyeongChang 2018 Canadian Paralympic Team.[4] At the 2018 Winter Paralympic Games, at the age of 17, she won a gold medal in the Women’s 7.5km Classic, Standing, a silver medal in the 4x2.5 Mixed Relay, a bronze medal in the Women’s 1.5km Sprint Classic, Standing, and placed sixth in the Women’s 15km Free, Standing.[5]
