Harry's Story

2012 Youth Olympic Team member Harry Laidlaw made his Olympic debut alongside Dominic Demschar at the PyeongChang 2018 Games where he was selected to compete in the giant slalom and slalom events.

Laidlaw was forced to remove himself from the super G competition after suffering a back injury and his bad luck continued with a DSQ in the slalom. Laidlaw unfortunately one of over 25 athletes in the field of 110 that did not complete the course.

He began skiing when he was two years old at Mount Hotham and moved to the Burke Mountain Academy in Vermont, USA, at the age of 14 to further his skiing pursuits.

Laidlaw competed at the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria in 2012. He competed alongside his PyeongChang 2018 teammate Greta Small and finished 17th in the giant slalom.

The 21-year-old won the giant slalom event at the National Championships and both giant slalom Junior National Championships midway through 2017.
