BEIJING — The opening ceremony for the 2022 Winter Olympics is still days away, but the U.S. has already celebrated its first big win.
When a team charter departed Los Angeles International Airport last week, all of the expected athletes were on board. That means all 100 of them passed their pre-travel COVID-19 tests.
"It has definitely been stressful," said Brittany Bowe, a speedskater competing in her third Olympics. "You're usually worried about being in perfect shape, but this year has added a whole new element of trying to stay healthy."
