Australia Bryan Fletcher is a former Nordic combined skier and two-time Olympian for the United States, transitioning from professional athlete to advocate and mentor for young cancer survivors.
L.L.Bean partnered with the U.S. Ski Team, providing uniforms for athletes like Bryan Fletcher. The clothing presentation from L.L.Bean was part of kicking off the season.
CRAFT Sportswear North America formed a partnership with the U.S. Cross Country Ski Team and U.S. Nordic Combined Ski Team, with Brian Fletcher being a sponsored athlete.
Bryan Fletcher was born on June 27, 1986, in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. He began skiing at the age of four. Early in his life, he was diagnosed with cancer, a challenge he overcame. This experience later influenced his involvement with charitable work. He attended Park City Winter Sports School, graduating in 2004, and also pursued education at Westminster College and Utah State University. His younger brother, Taylor Fletcher, is also a member of Team USA in Nordic combined.
Fletcher’s career in Nordic combined skiing started in 2002. He competed in the World Cup circuit from 2009 to 2018, achieving one individual win and two individual podium finishes. He participated in two Olympic Games, representing the United States in Sochi in 2014 and Pyeongchang in 2018. In the 2014 Sochi Olympics, he placed 6th in the Team Large Hill / 4 x 5km event. At the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, he achieved a 10th-place finish in the Team Large Hill / 4 x 5km event. A significant career highlight was winning the King’s Cup in Oslo in March 2012, becoming only the fifth American to do so. In 2013, he earned a bronze medal at the World Championships in the Team Normal Hill / 4 x 5km event.
Beyond his athletic achievements, Fletcher has contributed to the community. He co-founded ccThrive, a charity dedicated to supporting young cancer survivors. This initiative reflects his personal experience with cancer and his commitment to helping others navigate similar challenges. His career concluded quietly in early 2018, with his final races taking place in Holmenkollen and Trondheim. Throughout his athletic journey, Fletcher has emphasized the importance of self-belief and has worked to inspire the next generation of Nordic combined skiers.
