Wiscasset Special Olympian Anna McDougal, of Wiscasset, won a bronze medal in alpine novice giant slalom in her division at the Special Olympics World Games in Austria.
McDougal competed with the Special Olympics USA team. She has been with Special Olympics for nine years and has been skiing for four years. One of McDougal’s accomplishments was when she beat her ski time.
McDougal works at Spinole Works Art Center in Brunswick. She does ceramics and has other artistic duties.
According to the Special Olympics USA website, she “enjoys stitching needlepoint, the internet and email, listening to music, going on walks, and talking with her friends. She like to dance and exercise. Skiing is her absolute favorite though.”
McDougal also published a memoir called “A Look Back.”
Her main passion is skiing. “It means a lot to me to be a part of a team. It also means to me the love of skiing and competing,” McDougal said on the website. “I can’t wait to represent the love of skiing and educate the love of skiing. Going through the gate downhill is an awesome feeling. Skiing is a part of me, it’s everything!”
