SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- [ USANA Health Sciences Inc. ] (NYSE: [ USNA ]), a global nutritional supplements company, congratulates Women's Ski Jumping USA athlete [ Sarah Hendrickson ] on winning gold at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Val di Fiemme, Italy and becoming the [ 2013 World Champion ].

"We are extremely proud of Sarah's recent accomplishments and what this signifies for this incredible sport and the rest of the Women's Ski Jumping team," said USANA Chief Communications Officer [ Dan Macuga ]. "With Sochi less than a year away, we are confident that these young women will make great strides at their Winter Games debut."

Out-jumping World Cup overall title winner Sara Takanashi , of Japan, Hendrickson soared 106 meters on her first jump to take a 3.3 point lead over Takanashi and then secured gold with an impressive second jump of 103 meters.

"The emotion I felt was overwhelming," Hendrickson said. "After the first jump I knew it was in the cards for me to win, but before the second jump I was a little skeptical. I didn't know if I would be able to pull it off. Then when I hit the ground and the buzzer went off, my team ran out to hug me. I can't even explain how happy I was."

The young Utahn recently graduated from Park City's Winter Sports School and has eight podium finishes this season with two more competitions remaining. Already considered a Sochi favorite, Hendrickson is now focused on training for her sports official Olympic debut and becoming a part of history.

"Jumping is 80 percent mental and 20 percent physical. It's one of the hardest sports because of how fast and precise it is," the 18-year-old said. "I spend three days a week in the gym working on strength training and six days a week in all training. Keeping healthy all around is vital and I am thankful to have USANA and its products as part of my routine."

[ Billy Demong, Taylor Fletcher, Bryan Fletcher ] and Todd Lodwick , USANA brand ambassadors and members of the U.S. Nordic Combined Ski Team, also made a podium appearance at the World Championships, winning bronze in the Nordic combined event. This is the [ first time ] the U.S. squad has ever medaled in the event at the international competition.
