Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Participating in the 2018 Winter Olympics, what according to you is the driving force that has brought you to where you are today?
Ms. Sadie Bjornsen:
The driving force that has brought me back for more is my addiction to the challenge. I have always been one to set goals and dreams. After finishing Sochi, I realized that with four more years of hard work, I could be in a place to fight with the top girls. Setting that goal was key for me. As soon as I set my mind on something, I can formulate steps, and give myself a reason to work hard every single day to chase a larger dream!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Having performed so well throughout your career, what inspires, and motivates you as an athlete?
Ms. Sadie Bjornsen:
A lot of what has inspired me in this sport is my teammates. There hasn’t been much of a culture for cross country skiing in the United States. We are competing against teams such as Norway and Sweden that children were born on cross country skis, and medals have been won for centuries. I love that we have come from an underdog position, and worked our way towards the top. The fact that so much of what we are doing has never been done before is a large motivation that inspires me every single day.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
After the incredible Olympic season, what are your future plans?
Ms. Sadie Bjornsen:
My plans are to continue working hard, continue challenging myself, and come back for more! I am currently working on my Masters Degree in Business at Alaska Pacific University, so I will continue working on that on the side. I am also planning to get married the summer of 2019, so that is something fun coming up in the future. In addition, I hope to continue inspiring and fostering the next generation of young athletes to carry on the torch we have created in this sport in this country.

Sometimes the hardest part of being “healthy” or “the best version of yourself” is taking the first step. Never be afraid to try! Surround yourself with strong, motivated people. I have always believed that you are what you surround yourself with. If you want to push yourself, find motivated women to hold you to that word. Recognize that not every day will be easy, but the achievements along the way will be enough to keep you going. Enjoy the process, and never be afraid to dream!
