The Post’s Jared Schwartz identifies the top American athletes to watch at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Four years ago, Chen entered the 2018 Olympics with sky-high expectations. He had gone undefeated in world competition leading up to the Olympics and was considered a favorite in men’s singles.
Shuster helped Team USA earn a bronze medal in 2006, the first-ever Olympic medal in curling for the U.S., but opted to form his own team after the Games. After his team’s disappointing results in 2010 and 2014 , Shuster led the Americans to the gold medal in 2018, the first-ever curling gold for the U.S. Now 39 years old, Shuster has competed in nine world championships throughout his career, which netted him two bronze medals. He has been named USA Curling Male Athlete of the Year four times.
The 29-year-old recently won the speed skating World Cup, making her the first black woman to do so. In 2018, Jackson became the first black woman to qualify for the U.S. Olympic team in long track speed skating. After finishing 24th in her Olympic debut in 2018, Jackson will attempt to stake her claim in the competition’s lore amid a rapid ascension to the sport’s peak. She won four of the first five 500-meter World Cup races this season, and set an American record in the process.
White entered the sport as a teenage wunderkind when he made his X Games debut at age 13, before becoming an international star for his flowing red hair, attention-grabbing tricks and significant amplitude on jumps. White’s 15 X Games gold medals are a record, and in the 2012 X Games, he became the only athlete to ever score a perfect 100 in superpipe. This will be the last dance, or last midair flip, for the bona fide face of snowboarding, and perhaps of the Winter Olympics in general.
