Rossland’s Jasmine Drolet wrapped up her first Olympic experience Sunday with a 17th place finish in the women’s 50 km mass start cross-country ski race.

In earlier races, the 23-year-old was 38th in the 10 km plus 10 km skiathlon, 43rd in the sprint classic and was a member of the 8th place 7.5 km relay team.

Her 25 year-old brother Remi almost made the medal podium skiing the third leg of the men’s fifth place 7.5 km relay team.

He was 19th in the 10 km race, 42nd in the 10 km plus 10 km skiathlon, and 56th in the sprint classic.

This was Remi’s second Olympic games.
