Embyr Lee Susko

A Cub Scouts field trip sparked the Olympic dream in Embyr-Lee when she was seven years old. As soon as she hopped on the sled and flew down the track at the Whistler Sliding Centre she was hooked.

A passion for speeding down the track as though she was flying down a frozen water slide, Embyr-Lee was thrilled to have the opportunity to follow her two brothers into trying this exhilarating Olympic sport. 

Good thing - Embyr-Lee has made steady progression through the development pathway, beginning with the B.C. Luge Development program prior to joining the National Team program.

One of the youngest in the program, sure, but she’s also one of the fastest. Embyr-Lee has steadily been chasing the world’s best luge athletes while challenging herself to be better and faster. Her progress was on full display in 2025 when she finished fourth at the World Championships on home ice at the Whistler Sliding Centre. One day later the 19-year-old led Team Canada to a bronze-medal finish in the mixed relay.

Embyr-Lee now has her sights set on qualifying to represent Canada at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milano/Cortina.

​​​​​​​Outside of luge…. Embyr-Lee enjoys surfing, waterskiing, hanging out on the boat at the family cottage in Nova Scotia during the summer months. She enjoys making extravagant cakes and other baked goods in her free time. She has two older brothers, and a fluffy cat named Batman!
