The U.S. figure skating star said she's received threats after making political comments during an Olympics press conference this week. Here's what she said.
Despite a chance to be back-to-back U.S. champions, citizenship issues could prevent Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrofanov from reaching Winter Olympics.
American skiers Mikaela Shiffrin and Hunter Hess and other Milan-Cortina Olympic athletes aren't shying away from talking about what's going on in the United States.
Clay Travis, founder of the OutKick sports website, noted on X that “the very act of asking American athletes political questions at the Olympics isn’t about the athlete actually addressing important issues, it’s left wing sports media reporters using the athletes as a vessel to spread the reporter’s political opinions.”
That’s because beyond medals and achievement, the Olympics shine a light on how talent and opportunity transcend borders. This global competition is built not just on a diversity of athletes across nations, but within them — and few delegations demonstrate it more clearly than Team USA.
