Norwegian Anna Odine Stroem captures women's ski jumping gold, Canadian Strate 11th

Calgary ski jumper Abigail Strate finished 11th in the women's normal hill competition on Saturday at the Milano-Cortina Olympics.

Strate was 12th after scoring 122.7 points on her first jump and moved up a spot with 117.7 on her second attempt to give her a combined score of 240.4.

Anna Odine Stroem of Norway won gold with a combined score of 267.3, followed by Nika Prevc of Slovenia (266.2) and Nozomi Maruyama of Japan (261.8).

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. Fellow Calgary ski jumper Nicole Maurer placed 19th at 226.6.

Canada is not fielding a mixed team at the Milano-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.

Why this Olympics will feel different for Abigail Strate

Stroem jumped 101 metres in her final attempt for a total score of 267.3 points, edging Prevc by 1.1.

Going into the final jump, Prevc trailed Stroem by a point and Maruyama was in third, two-tenths of a point behind Prevc.

Stroem came into the event in fourth place in the World Cup standings this season with Prevc at the top by a large margin over Maruyama.

While Prevc entered the contest as the favorite, there was a consolation prize of sorts by becoming the first sister to join a brother — two in her case — to have also won Olympic medals in the sport.

Prevc follows in the footsteps of her brothers, Peter, a four-time Olympic medalist who won gold in the mixed team jump four years ago in Beijing, and Cene,
