Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Top Moments and Highlights

Erin Jackson became the first black woman to win an Olympic speed skating medal when she took gold in the women’s 500m event at Beijing 2022.  
In a story that sounds like a movie script, Jackson only made the USA team when Brittany Bowe offered to give up her place in the event because Jackson had finished outside the qualification places at the US trials. 
The 29-year-old had been a successful rollerblader before switching to speed skating in 2017. A year later she finished 24th at PyeongChang 2018. In 2022 though, gold was hers as she beat silver medallist Takagi Miho (JPN) 0.08 seconds. Angelina Golikova (ROC) took bronze.

Erin Jackson's gold-medal story at Beijing 2022, co-written by her longtime friend and teammate Brittany Bowe, is as inspiring as it gets. Had it not been for Bowe’s selfless gesture after the U.S. trials, the world number 1 ranked skater over 500m might not have even made it to the start of the women’s Olympic 500m race. But Jackson was there and ended up becoming the first Black female Olympic speed skating champion. She had only finished third at the U.S. trials after an uncharacteristic slip. Bowe went on to win the race as a result but decided to give up her spot to her friend of nearly two decades as she was already qualified in the 1000m and 1500m. The two stars tell us how they experienced this remarkable story.
