Emily Young (born 15 January 1991), also known as Emily Weekes, is a Canadian female Paralympic cross-country skier and biathlete.[1] She has competed formerly as a wrestler and triathlete for Canada in international and national competitions.[2]
Early career
Emily Weekes competed in 2009 Canada Summer Games and claimed a bronze medal in the wrestling event. She sustained a nerve damage from an injury in her right arm due to a wrestling training accident at the age of eighteen just after the conclusion of the 2009 Canada Summer Games.[3] As a result of the accident, she had to withdraw from competing in wrestling and triathlon events. In fact, her Olympic dream as a wrestler spoilt due to the nerve damage.[4][5]
Paralympic career
She made her Paralympic debut for Canada at the 2018 Winter Paralympics and claimed her first Paralympic medal after clinching a bronze medal in the women's 7.5km classical standing cross-country skiing event.[6][7]
She was also the member of the Canadian mixed relay team which secured a silver medal in the 4 x 2.5 km mixed relay event as a part of the 2018 Winter Paralympics.[8]
