Jaclyn Narracott (born 5 November 1990) is an Australian skeleton racer who competes on the Skeleton World Cup circuit. She began international skeleton competition in 2012 when she joined the Australian national team; in 2011 she competed in bobsleigh for two European Cup races. Narracott has competed on the World Cup, the top level of international skeleton, since 2014; prior to that she competed on the European and North American Cups. She slides on a Bromley sled,[3] and lives and trains in Bath, England, with the British bobsleigh and skeleton athletes.[2] Australian Olympic track and bobsleigh athlete Paul Narracott is her uncle.[4] She is in a relationship with British skeleton slider Dom Parsons.[5]
Narracott is the first Australian athlete to earn an Olympic medal in skeleton, after winning the silver medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.[6] This also marked Australia's first medal in any sliding sport at the Winter Olympics.[7] Additionally, Narracott's result lifted Australia's medal tally at Beijing to 4, the highest medal tally Australia has ever achieved at a Winter Olympics.[8]
