For figure skating, you can see some of the most dramatic action happening rink-side at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, especially when it comes to the anxious theatrics on display at the “kiss and cry.” The kiss and cry refers to the area where skaters await their scores postperformance and is a term coined

I started running in 2017 as an inexpensive way to improve my physical and mental health. Five years later, I’ve learned a lot about myself. I’ve gained new appreciation for my body and what it can do, developed impressive willpower, and feel so much stronger — in every sense of the word. But while I

To commemorate Erin Jackson’s 500m speed-skating gold medal win on Feb. 13, the Olympic Games Instagram page posted a video of the giggling athlete stepping onto the ice for the first time. The Olympic Games reposted Jackson’s video from her Instagram (above) in which, at the four-year mark of her speed-skating career, she reflected on

Figure skater Kamila Valieva of the Russian Olympic Committee has tested positive for trimetazidine, a substance banned by the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA), NBC confirmed in its primetime broadcast on Feb. 9. There was no update on how this will affect the results of the figure skating team competition, where Valieva skated two programs to

No one can blame you for not being able to peel your eyes away from Olympic figure skating — but between the sport’s complicated scoring system, the vast number of jumps and other skills the skaters perform, and the onslaught of sequins, it’s OK if you’re feeling as overwhelmed as you are fascinated. Each of

If you are looking for an amazing booty and abs workout, you’ve come to the right place. In this routine, fitness trainer Nikki Keeshin takes you through 30 minutes of her signature glute and core exercises — like hydrant circles, glute-bridge pyramids, and corkscrew reverse crunches — that you will definitely feel tomorrow. Add a

Figure skating is probably best known for its explosive jumps, which is why you might find Olympic ice dancing — the only discipline where jumping isn’t required — to be a nice change of pace. Ice-dance programs are composed exclusively of intricate footwork sequences and other dance-inspired elements like lifts, but the thing that probably

Freestyle skier Eileen Gu wears many hats — most recently, Olympic champ — but the one that may be most important to her is role model. Gu, who was born and raised in California, has been outspoken about her mission to inspire young Chinese skiers since making the decision to compete for China back in

You’d be silly to think the world of nondairy milks has reached its limit because, as demonstrated by the plethora to choose from — soy, almond, cashew, oat, and even milk made from potatoes and pea protein — nondairy-milks can be made out of anything. So why stop there? Is there another grain we can

If you’re watching curling at the Winter Olympics (and really, how could you not?), you might have noticed something unusual about the stones used in competition: a set of lights near the handles that glow green from time to time. In a sport that’s mostly conducted using low-tech equipment like chunks of granite and “brooms,”

Prince Charles tested positive for COVID on Thursday morning, and Queen Elizabeth II is “being monitored” for symptoms, a source confirmed with Us Weekly. The two saw each other on Tuesday, two days before his diagnosis, at an event at Windsor Castle where the Queen is staying. The Queen, 95, is fully vaccinated and is

Trimetazidine, also known as TMZ, is a drug used to treat the heart condition angina, so it might seem strange that it’s also considered a banned substance by the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA). That’s because WADA lists trimetazidine as a “metabolic modulator,” a type of drug that, according to a 2011 review, effects the heart

I don’t know about you, but when I picture celebrities working out, they’re usually in some high-tech, perfectly lit, Instagram-friendly home gym. They have all the right equipment. They are sweating photogenically while pushing through a crunch circuit. No distractions, no random equipment lying around, just a colorful yoga mat and a sweat session. So

From training in a shopping mall ice rink to the Olympic Games.

For Nathan Chen, the 2022 Olympics in Beijing were about proving that he could do what he does so well — skate dazzling, quad-packed routines — under the pressure of the Olympic spotlight. After the men’s free skate on Feb. 9 (Feb. 10 in Beijing), Chen’s status is secured. His brilliant free skate, along with

The Winter Olympics are arguably more about speed than anything else. You know speed skating is fast because “speed” is literally in the name, and if you’ve ever tuned in to downhill skiing, you know how fast those athletes fly. Incredibly, though, luge is considered the fastest sport at the Games. According to the official

The 2022 Beijing Olympics are well underway, and we’ve already seen medals and record-breaking performances. In figure skating, Nathan Chen performed his highest-scoring short program ever in the team event, only to beat that score days later in the individual short-program competition. The “Quad King” also set a new short-program world record with his individual

She may be heading into her second Winter Olympics, but mark our words: Chloe Kim is just getting started. After taking an extended break from the sport, the 21-year-old snowboarder is back in action, recently winning her sixth consecutive competition since her debut last season. After clinching back-to-back world championships, Kim is a near shoo-in

Nathan Chen is leaving PyeongChang where it belongs (at least for him): in the past. After posting a career-best short program in the 2022 Olympics team event, Chen went and pushed even higher in the individual short program, scoring a stunning 113.97. That was enough to top the standings, yes, but it also set a

The popular Whole30 program has been around since 2009, but until now, there wasn’t a specific program for those who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet — until now. The new Plant-Based Whole30 program just launched, and it’s perfect for those who don’t eat meat or eggs, but still want to get the benefits of

Devastating to watch, U.S. skier Nina O’Brien suffered a scary crash on her second run of the giant slalom at the Beijing 2022 Olympics at the Yanqing National Alpine Skiing Centre on Monday. Going at top speed, the 24-year-old lost her balance, and her legs spread wide as she crashed into one of the gates

Figure skater Kamila Valieva just made history at the 2022 Beijing Games. During her team-event free skate, Valieva became the first woman to successfully land a quad jump at the Olympics, a huge feat to go along with the 15-year-old’s first Olympic medal (a team-event gold, naturally). And in true Valieva fashion, she didn’t stop

American figure skaters have been among the best in the world in ice dance for the past decade or so. The best of the best, though, has to be partners Meryl Davis and Charlie White. At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, they became the first American team to win the gold medal in ice

Although there are many elements that make up a figure skating program, there are few that are as difficult as the triple axel. While the jump is a mainstay in men’s figure skating, it’s still relatively rare in the women’s event. Among the women competing at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, few have ever

Figure skating at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing kicked off on Feb. 4 with the team event, and apparently Team USA decided to put on a show. Through three disciplines so far, the US has a somewhat surprising lead over the Russian Olympic Committee, courtesy of career-best programs from Nathan Chen, Madison Hubbell and Zachary
