    Carina Edlinger: My Proud Paralympian Story

    Carina Edlinger has high expectations for her second World Championships in Prince George, Canada. The Austrian vision impaired skier has recently sealed four cross-country wins over two 2018-19 World Cups.

    She was a bit disappointed after her performance at her maiden Winter Paralympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.

    Prior to the Games, Edlinger had confirmed her status as a clear candidate for gold after finishing as the overall cross-country World Cup winner for a second successive year.

    But she struggled with the pressure and had to settle for bronze in the women´s cross-country middle distance vision impaired at PyeongChang 2018. She will most certainly have many more opportunities to win a Paralympic gold.

    Edlinger’s debut season in 2016-17 was stunning.

    The Austrian claimed gold in the women’s cross-country sprint and long distance vision impaired events at the World Championships in Finsterau, Germany. She also added a bronze to her haul in the cross-country middle distance.

    Edlinger finished as the overall winner of the cross-country World Cup after capturing four wins and six other podium-finishes.

    Edlinger’s sight in both eyes decreased due to a rare genetic disease.
