Now, 12 years on, Willcox is returning to the Winter Olympics – trading ski poles for a microphone – as Sky’s on-the-snow reporter. There was chance to go to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, having joined The Crowd Goes Wild as a reporter in 2018, but she then fell pregnant with her first child. Kiwi Katharine Eustace makes a run during the women’s skeleton heats at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. She worked at the last two Youth Winter Olympics, in 2020 and 2024, and the athletes she took care of have progressed with her to Milano-Cortina. She was working as a physio in Wānaka when skeleton racer Louise Corcoran, who competed at the 2006 Winter Olympics, came in for treatment.
