American athletes are gearing up for the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, with cross-country skier Jessie Diggins aiming for gold and figure skater Ilia Malinin favored to win, according to multiple news sources. The games, which are underway, will see athletes focusing on sleep quality and recovery, while also navigating the challenges of competition.
Diggins, America's most-decorated cross-country skier, is preparing for her fourth and final Olympics, as reported by Time. The 34-year-old is motivated to share her experience with friends, family, and fans, a support system that was absent during the Beijing games four years ago. "That's why I'm here, training my brains out," Diggins said, according to Time, highlighting her dedication to the sport. She is aiming to win the first individual Olympic gold medal for the United States in her sport.
Figure skater Ilia Malinin, 21, is the heavy favorite to win gold for the United States, as stated by Vox. Malinin is on track to make Olympic history, and could potentially improve even further.
The athletes will face challenges such as unfamiliar environments and shared rooms, according to Wired. To aid recovery and performance, Team USA athletes are receiving sleep accessories, including memory foam toppers. The controversial cardboard beds from previous games are potentially being used in the Olympic Village.
