The U.S. Olympic Long Track speedskating roster is set and it's a mixture of up and comers and veterans like Brittany Bowe.

Bowe has won two Olympic bronze medals and she have very clear goals for the 2026 games in Milan-Cortina.

"I'm still chasing that ultimate dream of becoming Olympic champion. I want nothing less than to step on the top of that podium," says Bowe.

Long track pits skaters against the clock and each other on a 400 meter track. It's the same distance as a high school running track.

Competitors race distances ranging from 500 meters to 5-thousand meters. It takes extraordinary physical and mental endurance.

The 2026 Winter Games will be Brittany's fourth Olympics. She grew up in Florida and made the transition from inline skating to speedskating in 2010.

At 37, she's a veteran athlete. That requires training smarter not harder. Brittany credits tools like hypnotherapy for her continued success. And, her outlook this Olympic run is different. She's operating from a true sense of gratitude.

Brittany says, "I'm going to enjoy the process. I'm going to enjoy everything it takes to set myself up for success, to be an able to perform on the highest level, to have the opportunity, to chase that gold medal."
