Erin Mielzynski (born 25 May 1990) is a Canadian former World Cup alpine ski racer. She primarily competed in technical events and specialized in slalom.
Born in Brampton, Ontario,[1] Mielzynski made her World Cup debut in November 2009 and has competed in three Winter Olympics and five World Championships.
She won her first World Cup race in March 2012 in slalom at Ofterschwang, Germany, her first top-ten finish.[2] It was the first World Cup victory for a Canadian woman in over four years, when Emily Brydon won a Super G in February 2008 at St. Moritz, Switzerland. It was also the first World Cup win in slalom for a Canadian woman in over 41 years; Betsy Clifford won at Schruns, Austria in January 1971.[3]
In January 2022, Mielzynski was named to Canada's 2022 Olympic team.[4][5]
