Team USA's Brittany Bowe, Kimi Goetz Headline Women's Speed Skating 1000m Final
Team USA's Brittany Bowe looks to make speed skating history in the women's 1000m at the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
It has been two decades since the United States has graced the Winter Olympics podium in women's 1000m speed skating. American Chris Witty won gold at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, setting a world record, followed by fellow American teammate Jennifer Rodriguez who claimed bronze the same year. Since then, it's been slow for the U.S in the event. Bowe looks to change that and become the first American to win a medal in the event in 20 years.
The 24-year-old who won bronze in team pursuit in the 2018 PyeongChang Games, is the fastest woman on skates in the 1000m event, having set the current world record in March of 2019 with a time of 1:11.61 at a World Cup event in Utah."Hopefully, I find myself there on the podium and hopefully a gold one in the 1,000m. So that's a great momentum builder for sure.
