By Mauricio Gasca Bobadilla Este jueves se está llevando a cabo el Final Four de la Nations League de la CONCACAF, comenzando con el Estados Unidos frente a Jamaica en el AT&T Stadium de Texas, donde el cuadro anfitrión sufrió bastante para poder lograr el pase a la final porque tuvo que venir desde atrás para dejar la pizarra 3-1. Todavía no pasaba ni un minuto cuando los Reggae Boyz sorprendieron con un cabezazo de Greg Leigh después de un saque de banda donde Bobby De Cordova-Reid centró, con lo cual, se fueron rápidamente al frente para defender esa mínima ventaja a lo largo de los 90 minu...

The USA men’s national team never makes anything easy – but there’s certainly never a dull moment. Nobody could of course forget Landon Donovan’s follow-up strike in 2010 in the final minutes that snatched victory from defeat and allowed the team to continue in the tournament. Or how about a clutch header from substitute John Brooks with just minutes left against Ghana during the 2014 World Cup opener, which helped USA escape the so-called “Group of Death.” And it was no different on Tuesday against Iran. USA was just able to score one goal in the match where Christian Pulisic literally sacrif...

Zachary Donohue is competing on Team USA’s figure skating team during the Bejing Olympic Games. Before the games, Donohue took some time to think about the impact Covid had on both his sport and his relationship with his partner, Madison Hubbell. “Covid was an amazing opportunity for both of us, but I especially saw it in Maddie to step back from skating and find value in ourselves outside of the sport and in our own individuality,” he said. “As a woman, as a plant mom, as an artist, an athlete, it’s been really cool watching Maddie kinda cast off all of these stresses and labels and difficult...

Team USA Olympic figure skater Madison Hubbell had to prepare for the Olympic Games with partner Zachary Donohue while also dealing with the challenges brought on by the pandemic. “We usually spend all of our time together and with how strict everything was here we really did a lot of virtual training,” she said. “Even between the two of us, there wasn’t really an opportunity or the reason to get together because we weren’t really supposed to be socializing outdoors.” While the pandemic closed many doors, it also managed to open a few as the pair took the time to explore interests outside of s...

Jake Brown is ready to compete for Team USA’s biathlon team at the Beijing Olympic Games. Biathlon is a sport that combines cross country skiing and rifle shooting, but Brown had to do a lot more than that to prepare for the Olympics. “We’re not just cross country skiing and rifle shooting, we’re also out there mountain biking, riding in the mountains,” he said. As it became closer to the Olympics the team began to train on roller skis and found a roller ring that had a biathlon course, allowing them to ride with the rifles on their back. Brown’s main motivation in sports is to be able to trai...

Team USA bobsledder Josh Williamson will be representing the United States in the Bejing Winter Olympic Games. Williamson originally competed to qualify for the 2018 games but didn’t make the cut. He was still new to the sport at the time and considers his previous attempt a good learning experience. “Coming in that year I knew I wasn’t vying for a spot at the 2018 Olympics. I just started, it was cool to be a part of that process and watch those athletes go through that, to better prepare me for this time around,” he said. “But at the end of the day, I was just there to learn.” Williamson wen...

Team USA skier Colby Stevenson is thankful that he will be able to compete in the Beijing Olympic Games after he almost lost his life in a bad car accident. “I was in a terrible car accident, I shattered my skull and stuff, it took a lot of determination and hope to come back from that because we really weren’t sure if I was going to physically be the same again, or ever be able to ski the same again,” he said. Five months after the accident Stevenson was back on skis, determined to continue participating in the sport he loves. “It actually taught me a very valuable lesson in life to not take ...

Team USA bobsledder Hunter Church will be making his Olympic debut during the Beijing Olympic Games. Shortly before the games began Church had a weightlifting incident that almost caused him to lose one of his toes. “I was doing a hex bar deadlift and upon finishing the set the bar bounced in a very unfortunate way where it actually smashed my distal phalanx, my left big toe, and ultimately I had to go in for immediate surgery that night,” he said. “Our team doctor, Dr. Byrne, had to wire and pin my big toe back together.” Due to the incident, Church was not able to go to Beijing to see the tr...

Team USA cross-country skier, Gus Schumacher, is ready to hit the slope this year in his first-ever Olympic Games.

He went on to say that if things continue as they have been, he’s afraid that we might not be able to have a winter Olympics in a few years. Schumacher is one of the many young athletes who will be entering the games for the first time this yea...

Two-time Olympic medalist Lee Stecklein will be returning to the ice to play in the Winter Olympic Games. Stecklein believes that the team might have had an impact on the increasing popularity of women’s hockey, and is hoping for support when they go to compete again. “We may have had some small part in growing the women’s hockey game,” she said. “I know individually when people come up to you I’m always amazed at how many people watch that game, stayed up late to see that game, and to know that we were supported here at home was incredible and we’re hoping for the same thing this next go-roun...
