The US has a strong contingent, headlined by familiar faces like snowboarder Chloe Kim, alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin, and short-track speed skater Maame Biney, but you’re also going to meet rising stars like figure skater Alysa Liu, hockey player Abby Roque, and long-track speed skater Erin Jackson. Of course, you’ll also want to keep an eye on other delegations from around the world. At just 17, freeskier Eileen Gu is already highly decorated and is poised to make a big debut for China, while the Russian contingent of women’s figure skaters, headlined by 15-year-old Kamila Valieva, has a legitimate chance to sweep the podium.
