SIKA HENRY
S ika Henry is the first African American woman to be recognized as a pro triathlete. But a horrible bicycle crash in 2019 nearly thwarted her dream. No other African American woman had earned an elite license — which gives triathletes their professional status — in triathlon before Henry, according to the U.S.A. Triathlon, the sport’s national governing body. She overcame a horrible bicycle crash during a race in 2019. She had to find ways to stay motivated when the coronavirus pandemic shut down racing for a year.
