OLYMPIC MEDAL PURSUIT
Heading into the 2021/22 season, she had her mind set on retiring at the end of the year. However, a fourth-place finish in the women's 1000m at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, in which she was involved in a crash with Italian skater Arianna Fontana, gave her the drive to continue to the 2026 Games in Milan-Cortina. "Going into [the 2021/22] season, I think I had kind of set my mind to it being my last year, and that was something that motivated and pushed me at every practice. Falling in the last race when you're in medal position isn't fun. That was hard to deal with, and honestly, it's still hard to deal with. It was something I went back-and-forth with a lot. It's tough. But after the season and how the Games went, I still feel like I'm improving a lot, and I realise that I have unfinished business with the sport. I'm not necessarily ready to walk away from that. I think, while I could have definitely medalled in that race if that had not happened, I want to be in a position where I'm almost untouchable, in that sense. Where I'm in front and nobody can take me out. I think I am in it for another cycle." (teamusa.org, 15 Apr 2022)
