Mount Lilydale Mercy College’s former student Casey Wright and Olympic medal hopeful has unfortunately failed to get past the qualification stage of her event.
The young gun from Don Valley was unable to progress in the women’s cross country skiing sprint at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
Wright finished in 65th position in qualifying, with only the top 30 given the opportunity to progress to the next stage.
The only other Australian competitor in this sprint was Jessica Yeaton, who finished 52nd and so also did not qualify.
Wright made her Olympic debut at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, where she finished 63rd in the same event and 81st in the women’s 10km.
She was born in Alaska and has spent time between the United States and Australia.
