Japan’s Sara Takanashi had just flown 133.5 meters to take the lead. Only Hendrickson, the first jump leader, remained. She took a deep breath and pushed off the bar. Soon, she was in flight - floating down the hill before touching down in a perfect telemark landing. She pumped her first into the air, a big smile crossing her face as her teammates and friends Lindsey, Jessica, Allisa and Abby came running to greet her. It was a joyous day - March 17, 2013. This past Sunday, that same smile came back to Sarah Hendrickson’s face, this time mixed with tears. The same friends and teammates who cheered her at Holmenkollen were there at the Utah Olympic Park to share those tears and cheer her to win once again. More than a group of friends, these girls were pioneers who had helped shepherd their sport to its Olympic debut in Sochi. It took 1,750 days for Sarah to find that feeling again - to simply smile about the sport she loved so much. To pump her fist into the air. To put her head in her hands and cry. To triumphantly hold her skis above her head to celebrate a victory. Sarah Hendrickson was a winner once again. This time there was no discretionary choice to make the Olympic Team. She earned it in a hotly contested Olympic Trials that featured five women who all had a pretty equal shot at the win. She would be an Olympian again. “My goal was to have fun and smile today,” said an emotional Hendrickson. “When I got up today that was what I set my mind on. I love ski jumping and that’s why we’re all out here.” Over the span of four and a half years, that love was severely tested. Hendrickson’s August 2013 training crash in Germany led to countless surgeries, each one seemingly leading to another. It resulted in three separate comebacks to the sport, each filled with optimism. Each resulting in dashed hopes. Each followed by periods of perseverance that only a world class athlete can muster. This time it was different. Atop the 98 meter hill at the UOP her mind raced back to that time as a five-year-old when she walked up to watch the Olympic Tues/Thurs 8:00-10:00 p.m. 8:00-10:00 a.m. Mon/Wed/Fri Intermountain Cup U-16 January 5-7 South Series January 13-14 TBA TBA 3:00-5:00 p.m. Drop-in Pickleball Tues/Thurs 8:30 – 11:30 am.

Hendrickson took won first place and a ticket to the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, where she will compete as a two-time Olympian. ski jumping competition, later convincing her parents she should be able to jump like her older brother Nick. All Sarah ever wanted to do was to fly. She thought for a moment about her objective of the day - to just have fun and enjoy the moment. This was a chance she might not have again - to put on a show for the 7,000 fans in the stadium. She didn’t think about the aches and pains or things she might have done differently. She put fear of pain out of her mind. When you show up on competition day, you have to leave that behind. Amid the thousands of tense fans was her mother Nancy and her father Bill. There were friends and fans from Park City whose hearts had been aching with hers over the last four years as she pursued her relentless series of come- backs. When she nailed her landing on that final jump, the crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief. For Sarah, the world stood still. She sought a moment of solitude in the finish amidst the deafening cheers, holding her head in her hands as tears poured out of her eyes. She looked to the sky, thrusting her skis upward to the heavens. This was what she loved. This was what she had so sorely missed. “It’s pretty emotional because the last four years has been so tough,” she said. “This gives me confidence that hard work pays off. If you keep working towards your dream you’ll get there. That is something that will stick with me for the rest of my life. It’s a really good lesson to hold with you.” Sarah Hendrickson is going to Pyeongchang!

Continued from B-2 Glasder ski jumps to victory Though luck was on his side on Sunday, his trip to the Olympics has been a long time coming. Glasder started ski jumping when he was 5, when his parents were looking for a winter activity for him and his brothers to try. His uncle, a longtime recreational ski jumper, went jumping with the Glasders. “I don’t remember saying this, but apparently I told my uncle, because we were supposed to go in and get lunch and take a break and come back, ‘No I’m going to stay out here until I get it right,’” Glasder said. “That’s kind of stuck with me.” He kept at the sport as his other athletic interests waned. Soccer, baseball and wrestling fell by the wayside. “Honestly, ski jumping was the most fun, so when I was 15 I decided to focus on ski jumping, and a couple years later move out here to Park City to train with Alan Alborn, and the next season I made the national team and it kind of took off from there.” His dedication to the sport took him full circle, returning to his native Chicago after the local ski jumping club made significant improvements on its training and facilities. “When everybody asks where (I’m) from and (I say), ‘Oh, the northwest suburbs of Chicago,’ everyone says, ‘What the heck, there’s no mountains there,’” he said. But his home club, Norge, is on the cutting edge of U.S. ski jumping. In the early 2000s, it acquired a jump from a club in Minnesota. “Now it’s one of the best train- ing facilities in the country,” Glasder said. In addition to Glasder, the club is home turf for Kevin Bickner, AJ Brown and Casey Larson, who all competed on Sunday. “It really has a huge impact on the nation as a whole,” Glasder said. The 28-year-old team veteran said his Olympic dreams started to take shape in 2009, ahead of the Vancouver Winter Games. “Just missed that; stuck around,” Glasder said. Then Sochi came and went without him, and he was faced with some tough choices – keep up the nearly year-round training required to perform at a high level, with diminishing chances of Olympic glory, or drop out of a sport that had radically shaped his life. “I kind of just stuck it out and here we are,” he said. “Happy to be going.” He said it was not an easy decision, but Sunday’s win made it all worth it. |
