Kristen Santos-Griswold is a world class champion. ⛸️🌱

At the ISU World Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands earlier this year, Kristen won Gold in the 1000m, took Silver in the 1500m and Bronze in the 500m.

Alongside her US teammates, Kristen won Silver in the Women’s 3000m relay and Bronze in the mixed team relay.

On top of that Kristen was named the Olympic Female Athlete of the Year by the State of Sports Awards, Utah Sports Commission. They said:

“Our Olympic Female Athlete of the Year hasn’t missed a World Cup podium in 2 seasons. The four-distance national record holder collected 17 international medals in 2023—6 gold, 7 silver and 4 bronze. Kristen Santos-Griswold is the first U.S. woman to win a 500m World Cup race and first U.S. skater to capture an individual Gold at ISU Short Track 4-Continents Championships.”

Kristen has been vegan since 2018 after being raised vegetarian. She has never eaten meat.

“I’ve always loved animals so much and don’t want to contribute to anything that could be harmful to them. When I switched to a fully plant-based diet, I also began feeling just overall so much better and began skating better too.” ~ Kristen
