Ambassadors Jena and Katja
Jena Mai Hansen and Katja Salskov-Iversen are professional sailors. Since their collaboration started in 2011, they have fought hard to be the best and sailed thousands of training hours. They are located at the top of the world rank list in 49’erFX class and won an Olympic bronze medal in Rio de Janeiro 2016 and the World Championship in Portugal 2017. Their goal is now to win an Olympic gold medal in Tokyo 2020. 49’erFX is a high performance dinghy, which can reach a very high speed and requires an enormous concentration and a great physique.

Jena and Katja are full of life, joy, ambitions and strength, and we are very proud to have them as our ambassadors.
Jena, ”I strive to do my best every day. When you practice elite sports you often have to compromise and be far away from home, family, and friends.
For me, it’s very important that they know I am there for them and that I appreciate everything they do for me. My nots bracelet makes me think about what makes me happy and what matters to me. I’ll look at it and think about what I want to achieve in my life here and now and how I’m going to reach those goals in the best possible way.”
Katja, ”For me, the most important thing in life is to be in the moment. To be present and appreciate what you do and those you love. My nots bracelet means a lot to me. And I am proud that I have been chosen to wear it. The values fit really well with the way I want to be – and the way I want to compete. Huge wins only come if you fight for them, and it’s so important to be grateful all the way and remember that you couldn’t have done it alone. The nots bracelet reminds me of that.”
