Yeah. Figure skaters took to the ice in Beijing today for their first practice. The team event starts tomorrow. Us star Nathan Chen has redemption on his mind after a disappointing olympics in south Korea, the 22 year old comes to these games fresh off of winning the US figure skating championship, his signature quads once again making him a gold medal favorite. Mhm While most athletes are practicing and getting used to new ice and new slopes, others are watching their olympic dreams slip away because of covid. Us speedskater Casey Dawson tested positive for Covid a few weeks ago but he doesn't have enough consecutive negative tests to travel to china missing an individual event. Yeah, I mean it's unfortunate news for everyone, not just me but the whole team I have over in Beijing right now. He hopes to travel in time for the team competition. Nearly 300 people connected to the games have tested positive for Covid in Beijing dozens of them athletes, including us bobsledder Elana Meyers. Taylor who was supposed to be a flag bearer now she's hoping she clears testing in time for her events, telling today she's staying in shape. Yeah, I'm holding up really well. I'm healthy.

She was later brought to the olympic village. Still. Even with the challenges, the athletes are showing some good humor. Hi everyone. Welcome to the village snowboarder Shaun white giving the requisite buffet tour and they got literally everything salad bar. We got chinese cuisine cuisine special feature. I'm not sure what that is for the rest of us. Life inside the olympic bubble takes some getting used to between the jet lag and all the covid protocols. It could get kind of exhausting, but let's just say the chinese have thought of absolutely everything. There are even cabins to take a power. Now look at this once inside the lights even turn off thankfully. The dutiful cameraman eventually woke me up.
