Aboriginal skater in Aussie first

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea - A wrong turn on a drive through western Sydney led a 9-year-old Harley Windsor to an ice rink and over a decade later, the figure skater will become Australia's first indigenous Winter Olympian at the Pyeongchang Games.

Raised in a family with eight half-siblings, Windsor will compete in the pairs event as part of an unlikely partnership with Russia-born 18-year-old Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya, who became a naturalized Australian last year.

Australia has been represented by over 50 indigenous Olympians at the summer Games but Windsor will be the first to break the ice at the winter showpiece despite the nation making its debut at the 1936 Garmisch-Partenkirchen Games in Germany.
