Sarah Hendrickson Honored as 'Olympian of the Year'

Sarah Hendrickson is all smiles for the USOC portrait shoot which happened just last week in Los Angeles.

The 18-year-old ski-jumper, who stands as the world champion, was just recently honored with the “Olympian of the Year” honor at the Governor’s State of Sport Awards in Utah.

The Governor’s State of Sport Awards honor individuals and groups that have made significant contributions to sport in Utah in 2012.

“Long day shooting for USOC in Cali today but so awesome to meet some of the Olympic hopefuls! Chilling out in Beverly Hills tomorrow :)” Sarah wrote after the shoot.

Can’t wait to watch her at the Olympics!
