Canadian freestyle skier Rachael Karker skies for joy post-Beijing

cbc.ca

What Rachael Karker wants to do in her first season after winning an Olympic medal is unwind and ski. The Canadian earned halfpipe bronze in her Olympic debut last year in Beijing behind champion Eileen Gu and Canadian teammate Cassie Sharpe.

Karker's weeks leading up to Beijing felt fraught with risk. Possible injury or catching COVID-19 factored into every decision.

She declined her X Games invitation to Aspen, Colo., in order to stay healthy for Beijing. Objective achieved, the skier from Erin, Ont., hit the reset button for 2022-23.

Karker won December's World Cup season-opener at Copper Mountain, Colo., where she and Canadian teammate Amy Fraser finished one-two in women's pipe.
