A lone nutjob nearly became Olympic roadkill.

A daredevil squirrel ran onto the downhill course and into the path of Austrian snowboarder Daniela Ulbing during Saturday’s parallel giant slalom at Phoenix Park in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Ulbing maintained her composure and narrowly avoided the rogue rodent by a whisker.

The squirrelly distraction didn’t phase Ulbing, who still won the two-woman heat against Russian Milena Bykova.

That victory advanced Ulbing to the quarterfinals, where she was defeated by eventual gold-medal winner Ester Ledecka, of the Czech Republic.
