I started running in 2017 as an inexpensive way to improve my physical and mental health. Five years later, I’ve learned a lot about myself. I’ve gained new appreciation for my body and what it can do, developed impressive willpower, and feel so much stronger — in every sense of the word. But while I

The jump that captured bronze for @TeamUSA‘s Megan Nick! 🥉 #WinterOlympics pic.twitter.com/elkja4SMBG — NBC Olympics (@NBCOlympics) February 14, 2022 First-time Olympic skier Megan Nick won a bronze medal in women’s freestyle skiing aerials at the 2022 Winter Olympics. See the video above of the jump that won her third place in her Olympic debut. Although

Figure skater Kamila Valieva of the Russian Olympic Committee has tested positive for trimetazidine, a substance banned by the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA), NBC confirmed in its primetime broadcast on Feb. 9. There was no update on how this will affect the results of the figure skating team competition, where Valieva skated two programs to

No one can blame you for not being able to peel your eyes away from Olympic figure skating — but between the sport’s complicated scoring system, the vast number of jumps and other skills the skaters perform, and the onslaught of sequins, it’s OK if you’re feeling as overwhelmed as you are fascinated. Each of

Erin Jackson was all smiles on Feb. 13 when she crossed the finish line in the Beijing Olympics 500-meter speed skating event. It’s the shortest race in speed skating (otherwise known as long track speed skating), and Jackson’s first-place victory made history as the first time a Black woman speed skater claimed an Olympic medal,

Figure skating is probably best known for its explosive jumps, which is why you might find Olympic ice dancing — the only discipline where jumping isn’t required — to be a nice change of pace. Ice-dance programs are composed exclusively of intricate footwork sequences and other dance-inspired elements like lifts, but the thing that probably

Freestyle skier Eileen Gu wears many hats — most recently, Olympic champ — but the one that may be most important to her is role model. Gu, who was born and raised in California, has been outspoken about her mission to inspire young Chinese skiers since making the decision to compete for China back in

You’d be silly to think the world of nondairy milks has reached its limit because, as demonstrated by the plethora to choose from — soy, almond, cashew, oat, and even milk made from potatoes and pea protein — nondairy-milks can be made out of anything. So why stop there? Is there another grain we can

If you’re watching curling at the Winter Olympics (and really, how could you not?), you might have noticed something unusual about the stones used in competition: a set of lights near the handles that glow green from time to time. In a sport that’s mostly conducted using low-tech equipment like chunks of granite and “brooms,”

Many of us spend our whole lives performing. Sometimes we don’t realize we’re doing it; sometimes we know but can’t stop — or don’t feel safe enough to do so. It happens in spaces where we feel like we can’t be ourselves, where we feel like we don’t belong because our identity — race, gender,

Japan’s Kaishu Hirano wanted to go big for the Feb. 11 (Feb. 10 in the US) men’s snowboard halfpipe final at the Beijing Olympics. For the very first skill of every run (what’s called his first “hit”), he showcased how much height he could get on his backside air — setting a world record, NBC

Trimetazidine, also known as TMZ, is a drug used to treat the heart condition angina, so it might seem strange that it’s also considered a banned substance by the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA). That’s because WADA lists trimetazidine as a “metabolic modulator,” a type of drug that, according to a 2011 review, effects the heart

The flips and tricks that snowboarders perform can seem nearly impossible, but athletes just keep finding ways to push the boundaries of their sport. The triple cork trick has been a regular feature in slopestyle for some time — but at the 2022 Winter Olympics, it might just be a deciding factor in the men’s

On Feb. 10, Team USA won its first gold medal in Olympic aerials since 1998. Ashley Caldwell, Christopher Lillis, and Justin Schoenefeld competed in the debut showing of Winter Olympics mixed aerials in Beijing, and they won with a combined score of 338.34. China received silver with a 324.22, and Canada’s 290.98 earned bronze. This

For Nathan Chen, the 2022 Olympics in Beijing were about proving that he could do what he does so well — skate dazzling, quad-packed routines — under the pressure of the Olympic spotlight. After the men’s free skate on Feb. 9 (Feb. 10 in Beijing), Chen’s status is secured. His brilliant free skate, along with

For most of my life, I wasn’t a migraine person. Then, one day about five years ago, I got knocked down by searing pain behind my right eye. By the time I went to bed several hours later, my eye was red and puffy from a seemingly endless stream of tears. I woke up in

The 2022 Beijing Olympics are well underway, and we’ve already seen medals and record-breaking performances. In figure skating, Nathan Chen performed his highest-scoring short program ever in the team event, only to beat that score days later in the individual short-program competition. The “Quad King” also set a new short-program world record with his individual

The Winter Olympics are arguably more about speed than anything else. You know speed skating is fast because “speed” is literally in the name, and if you’ve ever tuned in to downhill skiing, you know how fast those athletes fly. Incredibly, though, luge is considered the fastest sport at the Games. According to the official

Nathan Chen is leaving PyeongChang where it belongs (at least for him): in the past. After posting a career-best short program in the 2022 Olympics team event, Chen went and pushed even higher in the individual short program, scoring a stunning 113.97. That was enough to top the standings, yes, but it also set a

Devastating to watch, U.S. skier Nina O’Brien suffered a scary crash on her second run of the giant slalom at the Beijing 2022 Olympics at the Yanqing National Alpine Skiing Centre on Monday. Going at top speed, the 24-year-old lost her balance, and her legs spread wide as she crashed into one of the gates
