Abstract
The article focuses on Erin Jackson's journey to her third Olympics as a speedskater, highlighting her unconventional transition from roller skating to ice skating. Initially a successful inline skater with numerous accolades, Jackson began ice skating in 2016 and quickly progressed, qualifying for her first Olympics in PyeongChang in 2018. Despite a setback at the 2022 trials, where she finished third in the 500 m, her teammate Brittany Bowe selflessly gave up her Olympic spot to ensure Jackson could compete, leading to Jackson winning gold in Beijing and making history as the first Black woman to achieve this feat in Winter Olympics. As she prepares for the 2026 Games in Milan, Jackson expresses her readiness to embrace the pressure of being the reigning champion. [Extracted from the article]
