Olympic records don’t get broken often. Here are nine athletes who are looking to redefine history at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
The women’s halfpipe snowboarding event has been featured at the Games seven times and it’s been won by seven different athletes. But we could see the first multi-time champion this year.
Should Pechstein pull off an upset and win the mass start in Beijing, she will be the oldest individual gold medalist in Winter Olympics history. That record is currently held by Norway's Ole Einar Bjørndalen, who won the men's biathlon as a 40-year-old at the 2014 Olympics. Since she would have a real shot to make the podium in each event, Shiffrin could come away from the Games with a historic medal haul. The record for alpine skiing medals won at a single Olympics is four, accomplished by Croatia’s Janica Kostelic in 2002, while the most golds captured at a single Games is three, which was done by Kostelic , France’s Jean-Claude Killy and Austria’s Toni Sailer .
