About Annika Belshaw
American ski jumper (Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club), nicknamed 'Race Pace,' from Steamboat Springs, Colorado, who took her first jump at age 9. A ten-time U.S. National Champion (2022-2025) and 2022 U.S. Ski and Snowboard Ski Jumping Athlete of the Year, she represented the United States at three World Championships (2021, 2023, 2025) before making her Olympic debut at Milano Cortina 2026. Competed in the Normal Hill (21st) and Team Normal Hill (7th) events, but was disqualified from the Large Hill final over a ski-length equipment violation (measured 1cm over the permitted length) -- the same category of infraction that also disqualified Austria's Daniel Tschofenig at the same Games. Her younger brother Erik Belshaw also competed for Team USA in ski jumping at Milano Cortina 2026, making them the first Steamboat Springs brother-sister duo to represent the US at the same Olympics.
At her Olympic debut (Milano Cortina 2026) she was disqualified from the Large Hill final for a 1cm ski-length violation, after having already qualified through to that round. Her brother Erik Belshaw (already in this database, id 730) also competed at the same Games.

FIS athlete-biography 'Skis' field lists Fischer (bespoke competition ski-jumping equipment; retail range shows only RC1/Speedmax cross-country skis -- see Products id 298 notes).
Ski jumping race ski from Fischer's ski jumping athlete roster, distinct from the brand's existing alpine and cross-country race-ski entries. Starting the 2025-26 season, Fischer Sports' ski jumping skis carry a co-branding partnership with the unrelated German fastening-technology company 'fischer Group', featuring the fischer Group's 'DuoPower' anchor-product branding on the skis alongside the Fischer Sports logo - this is a sponsorship/branding tie-up, not a new ski model name.
