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. Caitlin recognizes this race as the most memorable moment of her career as it was a turning point for her personally and the sport as a whole.

Caitlin and Natalie 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. They slid into the history books one more time in 2022 when they captured the bronze in women’s doubles at the World Cup in Park City.

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. Did You Know…Caitlin’s favourite track is Winterberg for its balance of speed, technical elements and being able to let the sled run. She can bust out the Footloose routine with Trinity Ellis. Caitlin has watched the Elf movie 12 times. 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. She graduated high school in 2021, and currently works for her dad’s company when time permits. Inspired by her parents, she would like to pursue a degree in business and own her own company. Caitlin is incredibly passionate about gender equity in sport. She is grateful for the women that came before her, and those who have paved the way for the next generation by defying gender stereotypes in their sports. She wants to use her platform to help promote equality and inspire girls to stay in sport.
