Park City • There have been plenty of problems and no podiums in the months and years since U.S. ski jumping pioneer Sarah Hendrickson blew out her right knee.
The latter has created another kind of setback for the Olympian’s comeback: the face of American women’s ski jumping isn’t being funded by her country as she prepares for the 2018 Games.
Hendrickson has multiple top-10 finishes and remains the United States’ top women’s ski jumper, but Hendrickson does not qualify for funding from U.S. Ski and Snowboard because she hasn’t performed well enough since her injury.
