Here are some of the Olympians who have shown the spirit of the Olympics in their unique ways at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games.
Brittany Bowe
The 33-year-old Brittany Bowe voluntarily gave up her spot on the US 500-meter speedskating team to her teammate and friend Erin Jackson. It cost her one of the two spots at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games. Jackson, the world’s top-ranked woman for the event, slipped during the US Olympic qualifying contest.
“You are always ranked number one in the world and no one is more deserving than you to get an opportunity to compete in Beijing,” Bowe told Jackson.
Mikaela Shiffrin
The 26-year-old Alpine skier, who has won more World Cup races than anyone in history, woman or man, didn’t finish three of her five races in Beijing after either falling or skiing out of the course within a matter of seconds.
“I don’t know if anybody’s failed that hard with so many opportunities — maybe in the history of the Olympics. But I will face those failures with sportsmanship,” she joked.
Eileen Gu
The 18-year-old “Snow Princess” has struggled in qualifying in both of her Olympic events. She fell once during the big air jumps and had to increase the technical difficulty in the third round to ensure her spot in the final where she went on to win the gold medal,
“I don’t know why I kept failing,” Gu said. “But I’m happy I was able to turn pressure into fuel and push through, ”
Lindsey Jacobellis
After a 16-year medal drought (旱季), the 36-year-old eventually overpowered a much younger field of competitors during the women’s snowboard cross and won her first career (职业) gold in Beijing. She went on to compete at the first-ever mixed team snowboard cross event with 40-year-old teammate Nick Baumgartner — again winning gold.
“Don’t count the old girl out,” Jacobellis said jokingly.
