There's the same or more races. We just don't cover it on TV, probably because the US isn't good at short-track anymore. We have 0 medals so far.
We saw a lot of short track on TV during the Olympics in 2002-2010 because of Apollo Ohno, the face of short-track.
We haven't won a short-track medal since 2018, when we got one silver. We also only got one in 2014 silver.

It’s so joyful and fits her personality beautifully. Her World’s gold was a magic moment and I don’t even care if she medals, I just want that joyous, free, breezy vibe for her again. Just wonderful. I love all the American women on this team, and how supportive they are of one another. The Japanese ladies also are incredibly talented and gracious.

So nice to watch such lovely, fun skating from so many women.

Wasn't he heard saying after his performance waiting for his results that only if they had let him go to Beijing in 2022, he would be on that podium?
Yes, you heard right.
And as he is local, let’s just say that my reference to his arrogance is from direct knowledge of who he is.
New poster.
One doesn’t need deep insight to notice that he is unfortunately full of himself, which is not the end of the world for a 21 yo but I am surprised his parents don’t keep him in check.
He invented his own nickname, put it on a t shirt and wears it. He skates to his own inspirational quotes.
It’s normal for a young person to feel that their thoughts and feelings are more significant and novel than they are, but there needs to be an adult to tell them it’s ridiculous.
At the same time, he was extremely gracious to the gold medal winner, going to him immediately and congratulating/embracing him, and in his interviews afterward.
I liked how someone joked it was because he himself really needed a hug. I find it believable
