Strate sets new standard for Canadian ski jumping in first ever women’s large hill event

Abigail Strate made history again in women’s ski jumping, thanks in large part to a masterful final round jump in the large hill event at Milano Cortina 2026.

Despite windy conditions which affected her overall standing, Strate tied her own record from the normal hill event earlier in the Games, finishing 11th for the best Olympic result by a Canadian woman in an individual ski jumping event.

The women’s large hill event made its inaugural appearance at the Olympic Winter Games.
