Every four years, the Winter Olympics surprise us with many new incredible athletes. Here’s a look at the biggest stars from the Beijing Games.
Eileen Gu, China, freestyle skiing
Gu, 18, was undoubtedly one of the biggest stars throughout the Olympics. One of just two athletes to compete in all three freestyle skiing events, Gu brought home a gold in big air and halfpipe and a silver in slopestyle. That made her the first freeski athlete to win three medals in a single Games. She also became the youngest gold medalist in freestyle skiing and was the first woman to land a left-turn 1620.
Nils van der Poel, Sweden, speed skating
The 25-year-old Swede set two Olympic records and one world record. Van der Poel won the men’s 5, 000m and 10, 000m speed skating events, and then subsequently （随后）published a 62-page guide on how to win the events. Van der Poel nearly quit speed skating after a disappointing 2018 Olympics. He joined the Swedish army for a basic ranger course before returning to the ice in 2019. Now, he's a two-time Olympic gold medalist.
Chloe Kim, USA, snowboarding
The 21-year-old Californian won her second straight Olympic gold in the women's halfpipe, becoming the first woman to win the event in back-to-back Games.
“I worked so hard for four years to get back here and do this again, ” Kim said after the event.
The American star is now a two-time gold medalist, and at her age, she could continue for years to come if she wants to.
Nathan Chen, USA, figure skating
Chen helped the US win bronze in the team event in 2018 before an event better run in Beijing. Team USA claimed silver in the team event, and the 22-yearold Chen won gold in the men’s singles competition.
