Ep9: World Cup Support Staff - PT and Chef: Anna & Cada

This episode of Extra Blue takes a look at the behind-the-scenes of World Cup ski racing with the support staff. Anna Giguere is a physical therapist and Cada Fabian is a high performance chef. Both are veterans with the USST as they were with the team in the weeks leading up to the 2022 Winter Olympics last year.

This season, they joined the team for the Tour de Ski and are continuing to support through a training camp in Seefeld, Austria as well as Period 3 of the World Cup. Not only do they keep world cup athlete and staff bodies together physically, they are also a huge part of the mental and emotional support system. They are always available for a smile and hug after a race, provide the best cheering, and are HUGE advocates of spa night.
