Ale Loutitt needs no introduction on this show, with the Canadian ski jumping superstar becoming one of our favourite guests through her many appearances over the years. However, a lot has changed since our last chat a year ago. At a Milano Cortina Olympic test event in September, Loutitt tore her ACL, cruelly sidelining her for at least 12 months and bringing her dream of a second Olympic Games in Italy to an abrupt halt. Never one to go down without a fight, Ale is now more determined than ever to bounce back and continue chasing her ultimate goal — becoming Canada’s first Olympic gold medallist in ski jumping. In this inspiring and honest conversation, Ale reflects on everything that’s happened and what continues to drive her as she pursues her Olympic dream.
