Jensen was born and raised in Klamath Falls, Oregon where she participated in various sports year around, FFA, 4-H and local community service organizations. She later went on to graduate from the University of Oregon (Sco ducks!) in 2019 where she got her Bachelors of Science, and learned to ride a bike at the age of 22. She then pursued her passion for exercise and health in 2020 by attending Idaho State University (ISU) to obtain her Doctorate of Physical Therapy.
While attending ISU, she learned that she loved working with children and active adults in a therapy setting (mostly because they both appreciate her jokes). When she is not working, she enjoys riding her bike on the greenbelt (usually successfully), playing grass volleyball with her friends, riding horses, searching town for the best happy hours, and stealing her friend’s dogs.
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Kristin Armstrong is no stranger to changing course when necessary. She knows that resetting direction intentionally—pivoting— is not just an essential part of living a healthy, fulfilled life, but it’s the way to realize dreams you’ve never even imagined.
After starting her career, Kristin felt her fitness starting to slip. To remedy that, she began swimming and riding her bike to work. Shortly thereafter, Kristin registered for her first triathlon. A disappointing finish made Kristin decide it was time for a change. After saving for a road bike she began competing first locally, then regionally and qualified for amateur nationals, amateur worlds and then went on to race at Ironman Hawaii in Kona.
Kristin's triathlon results caught the attention of the US Olympic Committee, which recruited her to participate in a residency to train for trials and the debut of triathlon in the 2000 Olympics. Unfortunately, she was unable to finish the Olympic trials due to injury. It was time to pivot. Kristin soon learned the injury sidelining her was osteoarthritis in her hips, a diagnosis that could have kept her from activity and athletics for life. Instead, she became the most decorated time trial cyclist in Olympic history.
After Kristin's diagnosis, she joined a local cycling team in Boise, a low impact sport she could continue doing with her chronic hip pain. While balancing a career, Kristin trained and competed using vacation days and landed her first professional contract offers on the bike.
Kristin went on to have one of the most successful athletic careers in women's cycling history. She is the most decorated U.S. women's cyclist of all time and the best time-trialist in sports history. She is a three-time Olympic Gold Medalist, two-time World Champion and has won six U.S. National Championships.
Kristin is the only U.S. female athlete to win the same event (time trial) in three consecutive Olympic Summer Games, taking home the gold medal in Beijing (2008), London (2012) and Rio (2016). Additionally, Kristin became the oldest female cyclist in history to win an Olympic medal when she won gold in Rio, one day before her 43rd birthday.
Kristin’s successes were not without roadblocks. Chronic hip pain tormented Kristin before and after the London games, necessitating three arthroscopic hip surgeries shortly after she took home her second gold medal. A herniated disc in her back months before competing in Rio required surgery and required diligent rehabilitation. As a committed career and family woman, Kristin’s training fit into her life rather than the other way around. She was able to navigate a successful career in advertising, sports medicine, community health and raise her son all while achieving her dreams.
