If timing is everything, Canadian Ski-Cross racer, Danielle Poleschuk has it.

One day after turning 24, the Olympic hopeful clinched a spot at the Winter Games on January 24th with an 8th place finish in Lake Placid, New York.

Poleshuck, who spent time with the Fernie Alpine Ski Team, says after the race she was in disbelief.

The racer is ranked 8th in the World Cup point rankings and credits Rod Timm for helping in her development.

Poleschuk and the rest of the Women's Ski-Cross competitors will start on February 23rd.
