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,”

I don’t know about you, but when I picture celebrities working out, they’re usually in some high-tech, perfectly lit, Instagram-friendly home gym. They have all the right equipment. They are sweating photogenically while pushing through a crunch circuit. No distractions, no random equipment lying around, just a colorful yoga mat and a sweat session. So

Chloe Kim was a sure favorite in the women’s snowboard halfpipe final at the Beijing Winter Olympics — and she delivered. The 21-year-old successfully defended her title from Pyeongchang 2018 with a massive bag of tricks, scoring a 94.00 in her very first run (the best of three runs stands, but no one surpassed Kim’s
At the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, you’ll see lots of familiar faces, as well as some faces that are so fresh, you may wonder just how old athletes have to be to compete at the Olympic Games.

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.

Figure skater Kamila Valieva just made history at the 2022 Beijing Games. During her team-event free skate, Valieva became the first woman to successfully land a quad jump at the Olympics, a huge feat to go along with the 15-year-old’s first Olympic medal (a team-event gold, naturally).
