Savilia Blunk was raised in rural Northern California. As the youngest of three, she spent her childhood chasing two older brothers around on rusty, hand-me-down bikes. Her love of the outdoors and the adrenaline from physical activity began with her parents providing an early introduction to pure adventure... Of course, strong internal motivation to keep up with her brothers also helped!

Savilia started bike racing in high school through the NorCal NICA league – founded in 2009, NICA (the National Interscholastic Cycling Association) develops interscholastic mountain biking programs for student-athletes across the United States.

Savilia is a six-time MTB National Champion, Pan Am Champion, current Elite Cross Country National Champion, and she has achieved two World Cup bronze medals. One of Savilia's biggest passions is to be an approachable mentor to kids getting into the sport, and to inspire cycling as a lifelong outlet.

Keep the Flame Alive is the podcast for fans of the Olympics and Paralympics. Hosted by Jill Jaracz and Alison Brown, this weekly show has everything fans want to know about the Olympic and Paralympic Movements: How sports work, history, host city information, and much more! During the Games, our daily recaps cover all of the action. Nordic Combined is the only sport on the current Olympic program that is only open to men. Many athletes are working to change that, including Team USA’s Annika Malacinski. Annika talks about how the sport works, which surprisingly involves a lot of body measurements, and we learn about one of the best winner’s prizes ever. Annika gets pretty frank with us about how tough it is to not have her discipline in the Olympics. It tried to get into 2022, but was denied.
