Every four years, the spotlight shines brightly on Winter Olympians, as they become the sports world’s focus for a few weeks.
So ahead of the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing, For The Win asked several Team USA athletes from different Winter Olympic sports the same questions to help fans get to know them a little better.
Talking to figure skaters Karen Chen and Mariah Bell, freestyle skiers Winter Vinecki and Colby Stevenson, curler Tabitha Peterson, speedskater Erin Jackson and biathlete Jake Brown, we asked about how they train, what they eat and what other winter sports they’d want to try (or be terrified of attempting).
These answers have been condensed and edited for clarity.
