PULASKI (NBC 26) — A Pulaski family is gearing up for the trip of a lifetime as their daughter, Olympic biathlete Deedra Irwin, prepares to compete in her second Winter Olympics.
"We are celebrating two Olympics in one Olympics," said Jennifer Irwin, Deedra's mother.
In 2022, Pulaski native Deedra Irwin took the world stage in Beijing, but the COVID-19 pandemic kept her family from attending.
"Everyone else sees the 'D,' the athlete competing and stuff like that, but she's our family," Jennifer remarked.
The Winter Games begin February 6, and the Irwin family says they're grateful for all the community support from their Northeast Wisconsin neighbors.
