The University will be well-represented by six athletes at the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, beginning Friday in Beijing. Under the flags of Canada, Switzerland, and the United States, as well as Team Harvard, four current students and an alumna will compete in their first Olympics in Women’s and Men’s Ice Hockey and Cross-Country Skiing. Alumnus Dan Cnossen will compete for the third time for Team USA at the Paralympic Games, beginning on March 4 also in Beijing.

Whether a rookie or a veteran, each has trained for years toward this moment, and COVID made training even more challenging. While the Beijing Olympics will be different from previous Winter Games, with all of the necessary adjustments and limitations required by a global pandemic, these contenders called the achievement a dream come true.
