WHO AM I?

My name is Sadie Bjornsen, and I am a member of the US Ski Team, the Alaska Pacific University Ski Team, as well as the 2014 and 2018 US Olympic Team. I have been racing on the US Ski Team for eight years now, and I have been gradually climbing the ladder each year towards being one of the best cross country skiers in the world. This past season, I finished the season ranked sixth overall in the world. I was born and raised in Washington state, but I relocated to Anchorage, Alaska 9 years ago in order to chase my athletic dreams.

FIRST TRACKS
I grew up in an athletic family with three close siblings, so my competitive personality was nothing but expected. Being outdoors and competing in many sports all year allowed me to develop an athletic lifestyle filled with lots of different types of races and competitions. Starting as an alpine skier at about six years old, I eventually switched to cross country skiing when I got frustrated with “getting cold riding up the chairlift.” From then on, I started dreaming about being an Olympic skier and one day becoming the best in the world.

OFF THE SNOW

When I am not training and competing, I spend my time promoting an active and healthy lifestyle among my community, and to the younger generation. I use my role as a leader and an ambassador to inspire others to challenge themselves to be the best they can be. Being raised in a supportive family has allowed me to appreciate and share the value that family caries for every individual. Aside from that, a few years ago I graduated with a double major in Accounting and Nonprofit Business Management while competing and training at the same time. I have continued on that path and am currently working towards a Masters in Business at Alaska Pacific University.
