Biography

Beattie Podulsky is set to make her Olympic debut at Milano Cortina 2026 alongside partner Kailey Allan. Together they will be part of Olympic history, competing in the inaugural women’s doubles luge event at the Olympic Winter Games.

Allan and Podulsky partnered up for the 2024-25 season. At the end of their first season together, they won bronze as members of the Canadian relay team at the 2025 FIL World Championships in Whistler. They finished eighth in women’s doubles, which was also good for the bronze medal in the U23 division. It was just their third competition together and Podulsky’s first ever world championships.

Allan and Podulsky started the 2025-26 season with a career-best FIL World Cup result as they finished fifth in Winterberg, Germany.

Podulsky began competing internationally in doubles with Embyr-Lee Susko. During the 2023-24 season, they finished second in three FIL Junior World Cup events. In December 2023, Podulsky made her senior FIL World Cup debut with Susko in Whistler. The two parted ways at the end of the season so that Susko could focus on singles.

Podulsky won back-to-back national titles in 2024-25 and 2025-26.
