Mirela "Mimi" Rahneva (born July 26, 1988) is a Canadian skeleton racer. Her family immigrated to Canada in 1997; her father, Stoyan, was a competitive gymnast, and her mother was an elite sprinter. After playing rugby in high school and at the University of Guelph, she began competing in skeleton in 2012 and was selected to the Canadian national team in 2016.[1] She is coached by Quin Sekulich and rides a Bromley sled.[2] She was named one of the three women to represent Canada in skeleton at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang[3] after earning eighth on the World Cup season standings for 2017–18.[4]

In January 2022, Rahneva was named to Canada's 2022 Olympic team.[5][6][7]

Notable results

Rahneva's best finish on the World Cup circuit was at St. Moritz in January 2017, her first season on the World Cup, which she won by a remarkable 1.83 seconds.[8] Prior to entering top-level competition, she won the overall North American Cup for 2015. She finished in eighth place at the IBSF World Championships 2017 in Königssee, and was part of a team that finished ninth at the combined bobsleigh-skeleton team competition at the same championships.
