Kenyan Skier Sabrina Simader Eyes Glory in Ski World Cup and Olympics, Seeks Support
Sabrina Wanjiku Simader, Kenya's very own athlete, is seeking support from her fellow Kenyans to fulfil her aspirations in the world of professional skiing.
Her story, a harmonious blend of Kenyan heritage and alpine passion, unfolds as a beacon of inspiration, challenging not only geographical norms but also societal expectations. Born on April 13, 1998, Simader's journey into alpine skiing began at the tender age of three when she embraced the slopes in Austria. Her unwavering resolve to challenge geographical barriers became evident when she proudly represented Kenya at the Winter Youth Olympics in 2016, hosted in Lillehammer, Norway.
Undeterred by being the sole African competitor, she left an indelible mark, showcasing her prowess. The Winter Olympics of 2018 witnessed Simader once again hoisting the Kenyan flag high as she participated in various alpine skiing events. Her mere presence on this prestigious global stage defied expectations and shattered preconceived notions, proving that passion knows no boundaries.
As she readies herself for the challenges ahead, Simader carries the collective hopes of a nation on her shoulders. In this transformative journey, Sabrina Simader extends a heartfelt appeal to her fellow Kenyans. Beyond mere participation, she dreams of etching her name among the top 20 competitors, solidifying Kenya's foothold in the global skiing panorama. It is not just a call for support; it's an invitation to join hands in crafting history.
For those eager to contribute to Sabrina Simader's quest for glory, a fundraising initiative has been set in motion on M-Changa. This campaign empowers backers with the opportunity to play a pivotal role in propelling Sabrina to the zenith of her sport, bringing honour and recognition to Kenya on the international skiing stage. As the lone African representative in both the Ski World Cup and the Olympics, Sabrina Simader displays the essence of shattering boundaries and forging a path for forthcoming generations of Kenyan winter sports enthusiasts.

WANJIKU TAFADHALI THAT IS NOT OUR SPORT ,UNLESS YOU WILL BE HELMETS AMD OTHER MERCHANDISE.AT THOSE EVENTS ,DONT RISK INJURING YOURSELF FOR NOTHING.
She is free to explore her hobbies and activities.
Ethnicity/culture should not be a limit especially where economics is involved.
Do you want her to sell Mandazi in Kevin’s conner shop like you do? BTW: what kind of Samosa do you sell to Kevin between you goat smelly legs?
Just like the Kenyan safari rally we have entrants sponsored by big companies and then we have those who are self sponsored.The winner always come from a public sponsored entrant and never self sponsored.While your previous achievements are noteworthy and your aspirations hopeful get real “mchango”from a few well wishers will only get you so far Public sponsor ship is the way to go training requires cash and participating in many competitions is the only way you will get experience.Goodluck on your catch 22 getting a public sponsor depends if they can recoup their funds through millions watching you compete do you have that ?How many Kenyans even understand the sport and will tune in to watch you compete 🤔
Sabrina,
Couldn’t be any prouder of you! You are already a winner, a champion and a legend ONLY by the fact that YOU are the FIRST Kenyan to ever do so, a pioneer and that has earned you a mark in the sport! You will be in Kenya’s history books!
Chase your ambitions and make yourself proud. I will support you!
