Began to fall out of love with athletics and told her coach she was giving up to focus on her university degree. Her coach thought she had the potential to compete at an Olympic Games - just not in athletics - and convinced her to try out for the Canadian bobsleigh team. "The first run was terrible. Our sled rattled all the way down. I was dizzy and I puked everywhere after the run. I asked myself, 'What am I doing here?' I said I'm never coming back, but the next day I was convinced to keep going." (Info 2018)
To compete at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. (debruinbobsleigh.com)
Her last run on her home ice at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary before it was decommissioned. "I didn't know that it would be my last run at the time, but I was nailing every steer and it felt like I was saying thank you to the track that I learned so much on." (bobsleighcanadaskeleton.ca)
