Natalie Wilkie won a gold (7.5km classic standing), silver (4 x 2.5km mixed relay), and bronze medal (1.5km sprint classic standing) in skiing events at Pyeongchang 2018 in her debut Paralympic Games. "For the longest time after PyeongChang, I didn't realize how well I had actually done and what an amazing experience it was," she told Canada's Paralympic.ca. "I thought at best Pyeongchang would be a preparation for Beijing 2022. I got there and my plan was just to do my best with no expectations."
