Sarah Hendrickson, born on 1 August 1994, is an American retired ski jumper from Salt Lake City, Utah. She dominated the first women ski jumping World Cup season in 2011-12, winning nine competitions and the overall title, and finished second to Sara Takanashi in 2012-13. In 2013 she won the individual women event at the World Championships in Val di Fiemme. A serious knee injury in August 2013 followed, but she recovered in time to make the American team for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, where women ski jumpers competed for the first time. She injured the same knee again in June 2015, and in 2017 she jumped from the historic Nansen Ski Jump in Berlin, New Hampshire, its first use in 32 years.
