2026 AGM Agenda – EN

A signal that sport matters in this country, not just at the podium, but in communities, in schools, and in the lives of young people finding their way through it.

For sports like ski jumping, this kind of commitment carries real weight.

We operate in a space that demands creativity. Limited infrastructure. Athletes spread across a vast country. A system that, at times, has asked our athletes to chase opportunity far from home. And yet, despite that, Canadian ski jumpers continue to show up on the world stage and deliver.

This investment creates an opportunity to do more of that, and to do it better.

It strengthens the foundation. It gives us a chance to reach more athletes earlier, remove barriers to entry, and create more consistent access to high-quality coaching and training environments across the country.

It also reinforces something we’ve believed for a long time. When you invest in sport, you’re not just investing in performance. You’re investing in confidence, resilience, and community.

There’s still work to do. Funding announcements don’t solve everything overnight. But they open doors. And right now, that’s exactly what Canadian sport needs.

We’re grateful for the federal government’s support and belief in sport. Now we get to work turning that investment into real impact.

Together, we keep building.

TORONTO, March 4, 2026 — Ski Jumping Canada has partnered with RBC Training Ground for the program’s 2026 season, and is encouraging athletes to register for a local event.

Developed in partnership with the Canadian Olympic Committee and Canadian Olympic Foundation, and with support from the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Sport Institute Network, RBC Training Ground is a science-backed, nation-wide talent identification program dedicated to finding and funding Canada’s future Olympians. 

Now entering its 11^th year, RBC Training Ground has discovered potential in more than 20,000 athletes (many in sports they’d never considered), and helped 28 Canadian athletes become Olympians (capturing 14 medals). Eleven graduates competed for Canada at the most recent Olympic Games in Milano Cortina.

At each qualifying event, participants from a wide range of sport backgrounds perform speed, strength, power, and endurance benchmark testing in front of National Sport Organizations (NSO) partners. One hundred hopefuls will then compete at a National Final. Up to 35 athletes will be selected as RBC Future Olympians and receive funding, mentorship, and other resources to pursue their Olympic dreams. 

“RBC Training Ground is unlike any sport talent identification program in the world. For the last ten years it has become a cornerstone of our Team Canada sponsorship and has been changing the trajectory of young Canadian athletes,” said Shannon Cole, Chief Brand Officer, RBC. “Milano Cortina is only the latest chapter in what we’re building in Canadian sport, and we’re just as excited by the next decade of discovering Olympic potential as we were when this journey began.”

While some participants look to re-energize or boost an Olympic dream in a sport they are already pursuing, others participate with the hope of being discovered and directed toward an Olympic sport they may have never considered. But they all rely on raw athleticism and determination to attract the attention of program partners.

“RBC Training Ground is a one-of-a-kind program that has consistently delivered results for Team Canada,” said Jacqueline Ryan, Chief Brand and Commercial Officer, Canadian Olympic Committee and CEO, Canadian Olympic Foundation. “Team Canada and the entire Canadian sport system are stronger thanks to the ongoing support of RBC, and we can’t wait to see what incredible talent will be discovered on the road to Los Angeles 2028, French Alps 2030 and beyond.”

National sport organizations participating in RBC Training Ground’s 11^th season include Athletics Canada, Biathlon Canada, Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton, Canoe Kayak Canada, Climbing / Escalade Canada, Cycling Canada, Football Canada, Freestyle Canada, Luge Canada, Rowing Canada, Rugby Canada, Ski Jumping Canada, Snowboard Canada, Speed Skating Canada, Volleyball Canada and Wrestling Canada.

The 24-year-old Calgarian, who also placed 11th on the normal hill last week, matched that result on the large hill after posting a total of 243.6 points across two jumps. Strate recorded distances of 117 and 131.5 metres.

After finishing third in the trial round, Strate appeared poised to contend for a second Olympic medal. However, challenging wind conditions proved decisive during the competition round.

“Third in the trial round boosted my confidence. I felt good going into the competition round, but I had no chance with the wind conditions,” said Strate, who was part of Canada’s bronze-medal winning ski jumpers at the 2022 Games. “I got really bad luck. I got in the air and there was no opportunity to fly far. I’m a little disappointed that was taken away from me.”

Strate was sitting in 26th spot after her opening flight.  She bolted up to 11th with a strong second jump under more normalized conditions.

“I felt lighter than I have all Olympics. I wanted to end on a good note and prove to myself that I could do it — and I did,” said an emotional Strate. “I finished with a smile, looked at my family, and I’m really proud to end like that.”

Ski jumping results are determined by a combination of distance and style points.

Norway’s Anna Odine Strøm captured her second gold medal of the Games with 284.9 points. Teammate Eirin Maria Kvandal secured silver at 282.7, while Slovenia’s Nika Prevc claimed bronze with 271.5 points.

Strate entered her second Olympic Winter Games in outstanding form. She has enjoyed a breakthrough 2025–26 campaign, reaching the World Cup podium five times. Four of those podium performances came on the large hill. Notably, the women’s large hill event made its Olympic debut in Italy.

“This is a really special moment for all of us,” added Strate. “The women had to fight just to be in the Olympics in 2014, and now we have two events. I’m friends with a lot of these girls – we’ve grown up together. If you open your eyes and pay attention, you see everyone rise and fall, and you realize we’re all human and supportive of each other.”

Calgary’s Nicole Maurer continued her strong Olympic debut, earning her second straight top 20 result. The 26-year-old totaled 222.6 points to finish 20th after flying 121.5 and 126 metres.

“My main goal today was to have fun,” said Maurer. “I just wanted to enjoy it and not focus on the result. I was happy to showcase good jumps to the whole world.”

The 24-year-old Calgarian, who was on a medal-winning flight path coming into her second Olympic Winter Games, posted a total of 240.4 points after her two attempts on the HS107 jump. Strate covered distances of 93.5 and 95.5 metres.

“A bit of a disappointment today but knowing I have friends and family to run to, slowly it will bring me back to earth.,” said Strate.

Ski jumping results are determined by a combination of distance and style points.

Norway’s Anna Odine Stroem took the first gold medal in ski jumping competitions at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games. The Norwegian soared to 267.3 points, edging Slovenian ace, Nika Prevc, by 1.1 point. Prevc settled for the silver medal at 266.2. Japan’s Nozomi Maruyama rounded out the women’s podium in third place at 261.8 points.

Strate has enjoyed a dream season in 2025-26, climbing onto the World Cup podium five times including back-to-back silver-medal finishes in her last two competitions before launching into her second Olympic Games.

Four of Strate’s podium finishes this year have come in large hill jumping. The women’s large hill ski jumping event will make its Olympic debut, February 15, at the 2026 Winter Games.

“I’m obviously really grateful to have that second chance on the large hill at these Olympics,” added Strate. “I think I can jump even better on the large hill. Hopefully I can refocus and get ready to jump well there. I have a little bit of redemption to chase now.”

Calgary’s Nicole Maurer also had a strong outing in her Olympic debut. The 26-year-old, who has been steadily climbing up the international ski jumping rankings, placed in a tie for 19th spot on Saturday at 226.6 points.

“It means so much. I’ve been working for the last 20 years for this moment. I’m glad when I finally had this opportunity, I showed up and put two good jumps together,” said Maurer. “I’ve been struggling a lot at the previous events before the Olympics so to be able to come here and show good jumps means a lot to me.”

Canada’s Natalie Eilers came up short in her bid to secure a spot in the final round of 30, but the day still marked a significant comeback after missing the entire last season due to a leg injury.

“I’m trying to find the right words, but I don’t think there are any. I’m just in awe,” said the 27-year-old Eilers. “Today is a result of years and years of hard work, set back after set back. It is one of the best days of my life – never thought I’d say that about a day that I didn’t make second round – but it is. I’m excited for the big hill and getting the opportunity to do it again.”

The results mark another career milestone for the 24-year-old Calgarian, who now heads into the 2026 Olympic Winter Games having earned three consecutive World Cup medals.

Earlier this week, Strate claimed bronze on the normal hill in Zao, Japan, before soaring to double silver podium finishes in Sapporo – her first time earning multiple medals on the same weekend. Despite battling a cold throughout the week, the colourful Canuck delivered podium performances in three of four competitions during the Japan tour.

“It was definitely an interesting competition,” said Strate. “It was dumping snow and the wind really picked up toward the end. I had a strong jump, even though I was a bit frustrated with the landing. Everyone was struggling with the conditions, but technically my jump was solid. I stayed calm and focused, which made the difference.”

Due to snow and challenging windy weather conditions, the competition was reduced to a single round with no qualification. Strate soared 128.5 metres, earning 129.2 points to secure silver on Sunday. It was her fifth World Cup podium of the season and 10th of her career.

“I really went for it and gave everything I had,” Strate added. “To finish the Japan block with three podiums is incredibly satisfying. This has been the best experience I’ve had in Japan, and I feel like I’m in a perfect place heading into the final training and recovery period before the Games. The energy with the coaches is really good, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.”

Slovenia’s Nika Prevc won gold with 134.5 points, while Norway’s Heidi Traaserud took bronze at 124.6 points.

Earlier in the Olympic year, Strate also earned silver medals on the large hill in Lillehammer, Norway, and in Poland. The women’s large hill ski jumping event will make its Olympic debut at the 2026 Winter Games.

Canada’s Nicole Maurer of Calgary finished 35th in the Sapporo competition.

A certified beekeeper and graphic designer, Strate has been buzzing throughout the Olympic season, consistently competing with the world’s best while stacking both distance and style points. She launched her breakout year with a dominant summer Grand Prix season, earning podium finishes in all five events she entered — including victories in Courchevel, France, and at the 2026 Olympic venue in Val di Fiemme, Italy.

“These were my last competitions before the Games, so it’s exciting to finish on such a high note,” Strate said.

The Canadian team will return to their home training base in Slovenia for their final preparations for the the Olympic Games.

Despite battling a cold, the 24-year-old Calgarian reached the podium for the second straight competition – and for the first time this season – after earning bronze earlier this week on the normal hill in Zao, Japan.

“I’m really happy to get silver in Sapporo because it is a hill that I’ve struggled on for years,” said Strate, who was officially nominated to her second Olympic Winter Games team earlier this week. “In the past, my jumping here has been inconsistent and I’ve gotten a bit lost in my head. This year I came in determined to make friends with the hill, and that made a big difference.”

Strate delivered the top jump of the final round, soaring 130.0 metres to finish with a combined score of 273.9 points, securing her fourth World Cup podium of the season and ninth of her career.

“Every jump this week was a small improvement,” she added. “It really felt like a training session, and I’m proud of how strong I was mentally. My coaches played a huge role in that.”

Slovenia’s Nika Prevc claimed gold with 279.4 points, edging Strate by just six points, while Norway’s Anna Odine Strøm took bronze at 260.3.

Ski jumping results are determined by a combination of distance and style points. Strate sat third after the opening round and moved up one position in the final heat among the top 30 competitors.

The majority of Strate’s podium finishes this season have come on the large hill. Earlier in the Olympic year, she captured silver medals on the big hill in Lillehammer, Norway, and in Poland. The women’s large hill event will make its Olympic debut at the 2026 Winter Games.

“I hope it’s not a normal hill versus large hill thing,” said Strate. “When the jumps are good, they work on both. That’s what I’m aiming for heading into the Olympics, because we’ll need to perform on both hills.”

“This week was a really good start,” she added. “These were my last competitions before the Games, so it’s exciting to finish on a high as we head into the final training period.”

Canada’s Nicole Maurer of Calgary finished 37th and did not advance to the final round.

A certified beekeeper, Strate has been buzzing throughout the Olympic season, consistently competing with the world’s best while piling up the distance and style points essential for podium success.

The talented graphic designer launched her dream season with a standout summer on the Grand Prix circuit, earning podium finishes in all five events she entered, including victories in Courchevel, France, and at the 2026 Olympic venue in Val di Fiemme, Italy.

The athletes qualified for Team Canada based on their performances across the Olympic Qualification window.

Athletes:
Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes (Calgary, Alta.)
Natalie Eilers (Calgary, Alta.)
Nicole Maurer (Calgary, Alta.)
Abigail Strate (Calgary, Alta.)

Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes returns to the Olympic stage for the fifth time, which will make him Canada’s first five-time Olympian in ski jumping. The 34-year-old made history alongside Strate at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. The duo helped secure Canada’s first-ever Olympic medal in ski jumping with a bronze in the inaugural mixed team event. After stepping away from competition for two and a half years, Boyd-Clowes has fought his way back to the top level of international ski jumping, once again proving his resilience and longevity in the sport.

“I never thought I would be able to call myself a five-time Olympian. Coming from our small club in Calgary this opportunity means a lot to me. I feel like I’ve gotten the chance to represent a big community of past, present and future ski jumpers and all of the people who work so hard to keep the sport in Canada alive,” said Boyd-Clowes. “After taking a few years off competing, I’m definitely approaching these Games with a bit of a different mindset, but I’m grateful to get to go and be there with my teammates and coaches to represent Canada again.”

Milano Cortina 2026 will mark the second Olympic Winter Games for Abigail Strate. The 24-year-old captured her first career FIS World Cup victory this winter and added two silver medals on the elite circuit. Her path to Milano Cortina included a standout summer on the Grand Prix tour, finishing on the podium in all five events she entered, including victories in Courchevel, France, and at the Olympic test event in September in Val di Fiemme. Strate will have the opportunity to compete multiple times, as Milano Cortina 2026 will mark the Olympic debut of the women’s large hill event.

“I am incredibly honoured to be named to the 2026 Olympic Team. It is always an honour to represent Canada and even more so when it is magnified on the biggest stage in the world against the best-of-the-best,” said Strate. “I’m really looking forward to having my family there cheering me on this time. I have some big goals going into these Games, but I am really confident with all of the work that I have put in over the last four years. We have an incredible support staff and team that have each other’s backs heading to Italy. There is magic in the air at the Olympics and I am so excited to see Natalie and Nicole get their first Games experience.”

Two Canadian ski jumpers will make their Olympic debuts in Italy.

Nicole Maurer, an aspiring astronaut, has steadily climbed the international ranks, establishing herself amongst the world’s elite while regularly reaching the top-30 on the World Cup circuit. 

“After 20 years of chasing the Olympic dream, it is finally becoming a reality,” said Maurer. “Representing Canada on the world stage has always been something that I’ve appreciated, but knowing I’m doing it under the global spotlight at the Games is a dream come true.”

Natalie Eilers overcame all odds to realize her Olympic dream after coming back from a year-long knee injury that sidelined her from competition. Eilers, who relocated to Slovenia with her Canadian teammates to live and train, made a successful return to the World Cup this season.

“Congratulations to our Olympic ski jumping team, who will wear the maple leaf as you soar through the air in Italy,” said Jennifer Heil, Team Canada’s Milano Cortina 2026 Chef de Mission. “With an exciting mix of rookies and Olympic veterans—including Olympic medallists and a soon-to-be five-time Olympian—Canadians, including myself, can’t wait to watch you fly.”

Canada’s ski jumpers will compete in both the normal hill and large hill events. 

Prior to being named to Team Canada, all nominations are subject to approval by the Canadian Olympic Committee’s Team Selection Committee following its receipt of nominations by all National Sport Organizations.

The 24-year-old Strate, who flew into the New Year by winning gold in the large hill in Oberstdorf, Germany, has been a model of consistency, flying with the world’s best while piling up distance and style points.

That continued over the last two days with fourth- and fifth place finishes in normal hill jumping in Villach, Austria. The colourful Calgarian was fifth on Tuesday with a total of 230.6 points.

“It’s nice to be consistent and close. I had pretty high expectations after winning in Oberstdorf,” said Strate. “To be fourth and fifth, I am a little bit disappointed but it’s good to have coaches and teammates to keep my feet on the ground and my head in check.”

Strate finished just 10.3 points off the podium after covering distances of 90.5 and 91 metres en route to landing in fifth on Tuesday.

Slovenia’s Nika Prevc took the gold medal with a total of 248.7 points. Austria’s Lisa Eder was second at 248.1 points. Germany’s Agnes Reisch locked up third spot with 240.9 points.

Strate, a 2022 Olympic medallist, finished just one point off the podium in Monday’s normal hill competition, placing fourth with 233.4 points.

Calgary’s Nicole Maurer placed 36th on Monday but did not advance to finals on Tuesday after qualifying 53rd. Natalie Eilers, also of Calgary, did not qualify for the final rounds. 

Flying to eight career World Cup winter podiums, Strate also has back-to-back silvers earlier this season. 

“I’m going to take a little break right now from the next two competitions to focus on training to get me in tip top shape and set me up for success in Italy,” added Strate. “But I’m happy with the week and the consistency.”

The talented graphic designer has been on quite a flight path that began with a standout summer on the Grand Prix circuit. Nicknamed “Bee” on the World Cup circuit, the certified beekeeper finished on the podium in all five Grand Prix events she entered, including victories in Courchevel, France, and at the 2026 Olympic venue in Val di Fiemme, Italy.

The 24-year-old claimed gold on the large hill in Oberstdorf, Germany, topping the podium with 268.2 points to start 2026 with a bang.

“This has been my dream since I can remember. I didn’t know if it would ever happen, but I have always been chasing it. I frickin’ did it,” said Strate, who was second in Oberstdorf two years ago. 

“The German hills seem to agree with me. The first training jump today I was third. I had zero problems. The inrun is very important to me and this one is just perfect for me to find that comfortable position.”

After a seventh-place finish on Wednesday in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Strate credited the support and connection with her Slovenian-based coaching team for leading her to the eighth World Cup podium of her career, and her third of the season. The colourful Calgarian also rocketed to two silver medals earlier this season in big hill jumping in Lillehammer and Poland. The women’s large hill event will make its Olympic debut at the 2026 Games.

“Today was a bit surprising for me. I think I have been struggling a bit this winter to be as relaxed because I likely felt a bit of pressure, especially after the two early season podiums, and was chasing it rather than being present in the jumps,” added Strate. “The coaches and I had made a plan that maybe we’d go back to training and find the good jumps, but just being connected with them and talking things through with the coaches completely chilled me out today.” 

Strate topped China’s Ping Zeng by 10.5 points. Zeng landed in second with 257.7 points. Germany’s Selina Freitag was third at 257.3.

The Canuck carried a sizeable 15-point lead into the final round with the elite 20 after posting the jump of the day, covering 136 metres and chalking up 146.1 points in her first attempt.

“The first round was insanely good. It was one of those jumps where everything came together,” added Strate. “I had been struggling in my inrun position, but we made a plan to think about it less. I hit the take-off perfectly. I didn’t do anything crazy or stressful in the air and flew it down there.

“I was in a bubble today. I didn’t even realize what was going on. I’ve never led a World Cup before. I never had such a lead in a World Cup, but I felt really comfortable in that position. I like it up there.”

The gold-medal breakthrough also solidified Strate fifth place in the unique Two Hills Tournament. Results were accumulated over the last two events over the holiday season in Germany. 

“I wasn’t really focused too much on the overall, but I only ended up three points away from third. In hindsight, I wish I was a bit better yesterday, but this tournament is cool. It has been a huge week of jumping for me. I’m happy with how my body and mind was able to recover and focus.”

A certified beekeeper, Strate has been buzzing throughout the critical Olympic season, consistently flying with the world’s best while piling up distance and style points – the key ingredients for podium success in ski jumping. 

The talented graphic designer’s dream season took flight with a standout summer on the Grand Prix circuit, finishing on the podium in all five Grand Prix events she entered, including victories in Courchevel, France, and at the 2026 Olympic venue in Val di Fiemme, Italy.

“It’s a completely different ballpark in the winter. The winter is the heavy hitter,” said Strate. “Summer victories are great, but to do this in the winter where it really matters is cool. I had been thinking about medals all summer and maybe I was losing the relaxed feeling I had in my jumps. To be able to have that relaxed and comfortable feeling now, a month away from the Games, makes me want to just keep going for it.”

Calgary’s Nicole Maurer did not earn a spot among the group of 30 on Thursday, qualifying in 39h spot. Natalie Eilers, who also hails from the Stampede City, qualified 61st.

The top men’s leapers in the world, including Canada’s Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes, were battling it out at the prestigious Four Hills Tournament on Thursday. Boyd-Clowes continued his comeback to elite ski jumping with a 30th place finish (201 points) on the large hill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. 

Slovenia’s Domen Prevc won the competition Thursday with 303.1 points.
