Keely Cashman (born April 4, 1999) is an American World Cup alpine ski racer. She represented the United States at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Career

Cashman made her World Cup debut in January 2017.[1] She competed at the 2020 World Junior Alpine Skiing Championships where she won a bronze medal in the combined discipline.[2]

Cashman qualified for the 2021 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, however, she missed the competition due to injury.[3][4] During training for the 2020–21 season, she crashed and was unconscious and suffered brain damage.[5] She was hospitalized for eight days following her crash, as she sustained a minor MCL strain, hematoma in both hips, and a temporary loss of feeling in her foot from bruising.[6] As a result, this ended her season early.[7]

Cashman represented the United States at the 2022 Winter Olympics, where she finished 27th in the super-G and 17th in the downhill, the top American finisher.[8]
