This will be Naude’s first appearance at the Olympics after narrowly missing the cut for the Sochi games in 2014.

The 22-year-old, who is originally from Regina, picked up a silver medal at the 2018 FIS Freestyle World Cup at Mount Tremblant on Saturday.

It’s her fourth medal of the season, a total she’ll be looking to add to with a medal in PyeongChang.

What a time! Thank you @canfreestyleski and @MontTremblant for a fantastic weekend! Beyond excited to be heading to @pyeongchang2018 fresh off a 🥈 place finish! Wahoo! pic.twitter.com/s5Yf8rkjvs
