February 17, 2022 Day 12: Cha Cha Slide
Doubles luge is like two people dancing on a knife’s edge. And while the soundtrack may not exactly make it to your Spotify favorites, its rhythms and steps are much closer to the heat of a crowded dance floor than the sub-zero Yanqing weather might lead on.

February 16, 2022 Day 11: Show a Little & Tell a Lot
Olympians in Beijing are proudly donning their matching national uniforms from the ice and snow to the dining hall. Despite, or perhaps because of that uniformity, small gestures and equipment choices are speaking volumes about the athletes who populate the results sheet.

February 13, 2022 Day 8: Unscheduled Interruptions
