Here's a draft for a Wikipedia-style biography of Lily Cooke, Ireland’s pioneering luge athlete:

1. Lily Cooke

- Lily Cooke** (born 2007) is an Irish luge athlete from Donabate, Dublin. At 16 years old, she made history as the first Irish athlete to compete in luge at the Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG), held in Gangwon, South Korea, in January 2024. ([Dare To Believe][1])

1. 1. Early Life and Introduction to Luge

Cooke was inspired to pursue luge after watching Elsa Desmond, Ireland’s first Olympic luge competitor, at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Motivated by Desmond’s achievements, Cooke reached out to the Irish Luge Federation to begin training. Desmond, who had transitioned from a medical career to competitive luge, became Cooke’s coach and mentor. ([Dare To Believe][1], [conTRANCE][2])

1. 1. Winter Youth Olympic Games 2024

In January 2024, Cooke represented Ireland at the Winter YOG in Gangwon. She competed in the women's luge event at the Alpensia Sliding Centre, a venue used during the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. In her first international competition, Cooke finished 27th with a combined time of 1:42.982, reaching speeds over 100 km/h. ([Radio Kerry][3], [Dare To Believe][1])

Cooke also had the honor of serving as a flagbearer for Team Ireland during the opening ceremony, alongside alpine skier Finlay Wilson. ([Team Ireland][4])

1. 1. Personal Life and Education

At the time of the Games, Cooke was balancing her training with preparations for the Irish Leaving Certificate exams. She expressed gratitude for the support of her coach, Elsa Desmond, and the encouragement from her community. ([Team Ireland][5], [Irish Independent][6])

1. 1. Future Aspirations

Cooke aims to continue her development in luge, with aspirations to qualify for future Winter Olympics. Her journey has inspired many in Ireland, showcasing the potential for athletes from non-traditional winter sports nations.([Dare To Believe][1])
