Together with Cedric Sloane, as part of Australia's first Winter Olympics team,[3] they were the first Australians to compete at the Winter Olympics in the sport of cross country skiing.[4] Haslingden's place at the Olympics was secured by 'qualifying' in a selection trial at Perisher Valley.[5] Haslingden was a grazier in the Cooma region of New South Wales who trained for the event on his farm.[3] He later retired to Merimbula, New South Wales.[5] Haslingden died on 17 April 2007 from a staphylococcus infection acquired on his farm.[6][7] See also
