Caitlin Nash

The Olympic dream was sparked in a young Caitlin Nash when the world slid into her backyard for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The seven-year-old was determined to hop on a sled after watching the world’s best blast down the Whistler Sliding Centre track for their training runs. It was the following year Caitlin finally got her shot while attending a recruitment camp. After taking one run down the track, she was hooked.

Caitlin progressed through the provincial pathway and became an official member of the NextGen team in 2018. A successful first season saw her finishing fifth overall in singles and first overall in doubles racing with Natalie Corless.

The duo made history in 2019 on their home track in Whistler, becoming the first women ever to compete in a World Cup race against the men. They were back making headlines a few weeks later when they teamed up to win the silver medal at the Youth Olympic Games in St. Moritz, SUI. 

Growing up in Whistler, B.C., Caitlin was incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by so many high-performance athletes. An extremely athletic child, Caitlin participated in many sports as possible. Her focus for nine years was soccer, but she also loved mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding and gymnastics.

Outside of luge, Caitlin still loves participating in these sports recreationally while also hanging out with friends, travelling and enjoying the beauty that Whistler has to offer.
