Brittany Hudak (born June 2, 1993) is a Canadian biathlete and cross-country skier.[1]

Hudak was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan with only one arm.[2] She grew up participating in cross-country running and track and field. In 2011, at the age of 18, she was introduced to the sport and Paralympics by a former Paralympian 2014 teammate Colette Bourgonje.[3] She never heard of the sport of Paralympic Nordic skiing. Hudak was told about the opportunity to compete against other disabled athletes on a more level playing field.[2] She acknowledged that it wasn't easy at first, but was intrigued enough to keep going. She started out competing in Saskatchewan.[2]
